Sleeping into waking up animation.

[beno_83au 1362]

If anyone comes across this post, it is outdated. Please see MIL_SleepingAI for a working version. Thanks. 

 

I've got a working script to run on AI to have them go from sleeping to waking up and adopting a certain stance. It works when I specify the unit in the script, but once I got it working I added some variables and a switch at the end to allow the user to specify a stance, including a random one, from the [] execVM. But that's where it stopped working.

Example:

When I run the second script the switch isn't firing at all. _pos returns as "Up", as per the hint just before the switch, but it wont pass into the switch condition. Why is that?

[Heeeere's johnny! 51]

The switch does fire. It's your event handler that's setup incorrectly. The way it is right there does not work. _unit is unknown inside that handler script. If you want to refer to the unit the handler is added to, you need to use "_this select 0":

_unit addEventHandler ["AnimDone",{
    (_this select 0) switchMove "AmovPpneMstpSrasWrflDnon";
}];

Great!! Works, I understand why that was failing now, so thanks. I'll put up a proper write-up a bit later for anyone interested.

Yeah man, count me interested.

Thread: [sCRIPT - WORKING] AI Sleep To Waking Up

[Ranwer135 308]

Why do you have to go in the trouble of using multiple animations to wake up? Why not use the animation from the campaign Adapt. (Yes, it looks like their waking up to wtf all the time, but you could always create your own ;) )

[beno_83au 1362]

I've never looked into custom animations and I don't think I'll be starting that any time soon, I don't really have time to add that capability to my ever growing list of amateur adventures. But I've only used 3 anims in this anyway, one at the very beginning and then 2 when it's time to wake the AI up. It works/looks alright, so I don't think there's too many.

However, whats the anim used in Adapt? I'm only very early into the campaign (as much as I've loved this game since CWC, campaign completion hasn't been my strong point) and haven't seen anyone "waking up".

Updated post on the finished version now anyway, tested and works on SP and MP using dedi-lan host, and it's more simplified/automated than what's posted here.

SCRIPT-WORKING-AI-Sleep-To-Waking-Up

[Ranwer135 308]

Ah, that's fine. :cool: (I suggest getting blender and arma toolbox, if you want to do things like animating ;) )

Also, here is the code for the waking up animation:

player switchMove "Acts_UnconsciousStandUp_part1";

If you want the sound with it, here is the code for that as well:

playSound "b_in_intro";

[beno_83au 1362]

Ok, I see what you're getting at with that animation. I like it, but I've aimed my script towards a "stand-to" event, or something similar. So they're reacting to contact. It'll be good to have this one for less tense wake ups though. Kinda how I wake up most morning (except I whinge and complain a lot more).
