It is incredible that the ArmA 3 does not have this by default.

Good script.

[oksman 37]

Is this multiplayer compatible? :) Looks good!

[POLPOX 778]

I'm sorry guys for the baddest quality video (but it was just .gif... why?) and I was updated for friends in Aug 25, but I wasn't update the sample codes. I'm really sorry!

And I will remake the video.

[Dorak 11]

Getting this error.

[b.a.verrecus 16]

try "STAND" instead of STAND

notice the ""

if that doesn't work, try: nul = [officer, "STAND"] execVM ....

btw i tried it out and it's pretty cool, i just ran across an issues:

when the guys get shot at, they stop the animation and all, but they don't turn around. they just shoot you when you are in front of them, if you come from the side they won't turn and just wait to get get shot...

[iconoclastdx 5]

Do civs / unarmed AI have access to a similar ambient animation set?? I dont remember seeing one. I hate how my civ just stand there like an unhip mannequin.

[POLPOX 778]

>B.A.Verrecus

Hmm... Please tell me about the parameters. Maybe the causes are enableAI was not work or the animation was wrong... yup, I'll try to find the cause.

>IconoclastDX

Oh, I'm intresting for civilians. Okay, I'll work for it.

[b.a.verrecus 16]

i've done some more playing around.

the ai not turning or moving can be avoided by grouping them together. if this was intended anyway, a note in the "how to use" would be great.

if not grouped the not turning/moving happens only with some of the animations. if i find the time today i'll test it further and let you know wich ones exactly are not working.

also i came across two more issues.

1.) when i shoot someone i get a scripting error. "type any, expected number" in line 269. the script still seems to continue running(the not-shot units stop their animations), so my guess is that this is for the unit that got killed.

2.) when units stop with with both animations for prone repair, they don't get up like the others. they seem to die but also not totally. what i am trying to say is that they lay on the ground like they would be dead but their heads are turning around and in some situations even the whole (dead) body was turning around.

if i get my recording software running, i might be able to make a video to explain it properly.

[POLPOX 778]

>IconoclastDX

I'm working for civilians, but there is some bug, and to remove bug is too dificult... Maybe to fit civilians animations are need more times...

>B.A.Verrecus

Thank you for your report. My test is not enough... No.1 is maybe fixed. No.2 is not appear on my Arma3. I'm working for they.

[POLPOX 778]

I updated! Civilians! and I made new fine quality video! Don't even say bad quality:angryfire:!

[cigar0 12]

Great Script. Good Work

[katipo66 94]

Haha, I haven't had a chance to use yet but just saw the movie, nice!

[iconoclastdx 5]

Thumbs up. Works great for me. Now my civs are all hip and leanin' swag like. Great script! Will use this in every mission.

Pic!

(btw, had to disable collision to get the lean right. Probably not the correct way to do it but it works ok.)

Upon further paying, civs don't respond to blufor. Meaning they don't exit their animations for blufor gunshots or deaths. They DO exit for opfor shots and deaths. Actually, they will exit for opfor ANYTHING, even seeing an opfor will cause civ to exit and flee (normal civs do not flee when they see opfor). In fact, they will not even enter the animation if they see an opfor. Not sure why this is as you don't have any faction scripts in your code that I saw. However, civs are notoriously bad with combat related scripts and don't have the FSMs and don't respond correctly to many scripts.

>IconoclastDX

I think you can solve the problem with this code:

civilian setFriend [blufor,0] ;

[olicarnage 10]

I like this addon, it makes stealth missions even more immersive because the soldiers don't just stand up and watching in front of them.

Unfortunately, i can't get it work in multiplayer. :(

[cigar0 12]

Maybe

if !isServer exitWith {};

on the beginning of the whole script?

[olicarnage 10]

Maybe

if !isServer exitWith {};

on the beginning of the whole script?

Sure, I think it's necessary.

But there is another thing because it still doesn't work.

Many thanks for this script!

It alieviates the "robotness" of AI.

I have a question/suggestion for a future implimentation if you consider working further on this script....

Would it be possible somehow to assign a random animation on units somehow?Rather than the mission maker making them animate a set way it would be great to see/feel like these ai have "a mind of their own" ;)

none the less more than happy to set AI to life with these anims.

Thanks again

[SSGKalle 1]

Is there any possibility to get this script that gives random animations to AI units that stand still in calm pose?

[chondo999 1]

Does this script work in multiplayer?

[Ian Bones 35]

Just wanted to thank you for this awesome piece.

The sitting animation looks like he is standing up and immediately being switched to sitting animation again on some clients.

if you want to execute this in ZEUS (and every client can see it) use this:

[[[unit,Option Name,[Equipments name,Weapon,NVG]], "scripts\PLP_calmSoldier.sqf"],"BIS_fnc_execVM", true, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

for example:

[[[this, "STAND"], "scripts\PLP_calmSoldier.sqf"],"BIS_fnc_execVM", true, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

P.S.

Yes, this works in MP.
