tpw 2315 Posted April 13, 2015 Hi all One of my absolute pet hates about Arma3 character animation is that unless you put AI into "careless" mode they constantly move around with their weapons raised even when there is no threat. In careless they'll move around with lowered weapons but don't assume formations etc. So the $64 question is, where are the config or fsm settings that would allow someone to change "safe" and "aware" mode so that AI didn't constantly run around with their weapons glued to their shoulders? I have basically zero FSM smarts and had a cursory glance around some of the FSMs but couldn't find anything useful, perhaps because I don't know how to look for it. Thanks in advance for any tips from you coding legends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warlord554 2065 Posted April 13, 2015 Hmmm weird. My AI stay lowered until combat mode Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tpw 2315 Posted April 13, 2015 Hmmm weird. My AI stay lowered until combat mode If you have an AI squad, and put them all into "safe" mode with ~-7-3, do they walk in formation with lowered weapons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warlord554 2065 Posted April 13, 2015 Absolutely man. They function normally until either i give them combat mode command or an enemy is spotted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tpw 2315 Posted April 13, 2015 Hmm, you guys must be playing a different Arma 3 than me then! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/481663/pix/rifleraise.mp4 (1.6Mb) This is me with small AI squad, with totally vanilla A3. They walk weapons down in in "careless" mode ~-7-4, immediately start running around rifles raised in "aware" mode ~-7-3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belbo 462 Posted April 13, 2015 Hmm, you guys must be playing a different Arma 3 than me then!https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/481663/pix/rifleraise.mp4 (1.6Mb) This is me with small AI squad, with totally vanilla A3. They walk weapons down in in "careless" mode ~-7-4, immediately start running around rifles raised in "aware" mode ~-7-3. Yes. That's the regular behaviour. In "SAFE" or "CARELESS" the AI will automatically lower their weapons and assume the "FILE"-formation (since it's the regular formation if you're not expecting enemies to pop up in front of you). I have not yet seen them doing anything else. If ordered or given the new behaviour "AWARE" they will raise their weapons and switch to the formation the leader of the group assigns to them or has previously assigned. Not before that. The behaviour "COMBAT" will have them loosen their formation. This behaviour is intentional. I haven't yet found a way to change this behaviour by sqf-scripting. But I assume there must be away to change it via fsm. But I can't help you there unfortunately. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They walk weapons down in in "careless" mode ~-7-4, immediately start running around rifles raised in "aware" mode ~-7-3. 7-4 is safe, careless is only available in the editor. In any case, i am pretty sure that this is hardcoded behaviour, and not regulated by FSMs. Edited April 13, 2015 by NeMeSiS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
