Making units sit

[Door a jar 0]

Hey I was flipping through some web pages looking for the new winter Kulgejev, and came across a Russian sight that had a screen shot of soldiers sitting on a fountain. I know how to use switchmove"effectstandsitdown" to make soldiers in either safe or careless mode sit on the ground, but how do you get them to sit on chairs and objects like in the screenshot? They were sitting there with their legs dangling down and their hands in their lap. I figured if I messed around I might be able to get them to sit on a vehicle that way, or at least get a few guys in a chair around a table. It would go well with a mission I'm working on where the Russians are at a restaurant that the resistance bombs. Any takers on this. the sight is www.flashpoint.ru the screenshot is in the upper right corner. I don't know when they will update, my Russian is hazy at best and my cyrillic is horrible. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot fellas

Sorry the main page doesn't have the picture, you have to click on one of the departments to bring it up. They're listed across the top bar. The last three being addons and the forum.

its very hard to get men sitting on chairs or objects.. i have treid before and when they do the object (chair) moves away from them like a negetive charge. when eva i make mission now i use the command to make them sit but put a table infront of them because they stay in that position regardless if theres nothing underneath them. when u mention having men on trucks that sounded really good so im gunna try that one out.

I used the chair to sit men down by using the xchair as its seems to be the only one which will aloud this.

Thanks for the help guys, but is the command the same? Playmove"effectstandsitdown", if you use that command and have them over a chair will it just place them in a sitting posistion in the chair. That is what I was really on about. I can't find the command anywhere to get them to just sit on something and look natural doing it like in that screenshot I mentioned. They just sit indian style and refuse to cooperate.

Hey Amos I gave it a try and I can't get the ap switchmove"on chair" to work at all, I tried it on a fountain and on a chair, and used all of the different syntax I could think of, I even tried to have him standsitdown then onchair in the init file, do you have any Idea what I am screwing up here. This is slowly becoming a personal vendetta for me to get this lousy Russian in a lousy chair..."eat breakfast d*amn you"...."WHAT!!!!! are you too good for your lousy chair", "YOU Excrement, you hipocritical toadie, sitting in a chair is too good for you eh, you want to sit on the ground eh, London wasn't good enough for you, you had to go bouncing off to Barnsely" - such are the phrases shouted at my computer at all hours of the night and I need to get this figured out, I've been getting very strange looks from the neighbors recently.

Thanks
