Detecting PLAYER stances

[prototype1479 63]

So i am making a survival mission where u have to eat food to survive. So i have got a problem. when you pick up the food the only option to player take the food while lying down is getting up then taking the food. but i want it like if player lying down then he should do the "picking up in prone" animation and when standing up he should do the "picking up while standing" animation. so how can i do something like this?

 

_i= _this select 0

_i removeAction (_this select 2)

player playmove "PutDown"

~1.25

player addaction ["MRE (+250 Hunger)","foodmre.sqs"]

exit

 

ps: i heard that its possible to do in fwatch but i want it in vanilla

 

EDIT: Actually I just made one (Only works for OFP 1.99)

Ignore that, i got lost in the forums. :)

In Arma cwa, it's possible with the EH animchanged : https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Operation_Flashpoint:_EventHandlers_List#AnimChanged

You can also check the height of the unit.

_a="dummyBullet" camcreate [getpos _this select 0,getpos _this select 1,0.8]
_a setvelocity [velocity _this select 0,velocity _this select 1,5]
_b="CombatToTakeFlag"

#Loop

Space for your own code that e.g. makes item pick-up happen.

Alright ty what about the other post that i made? i think its possible but can u tell me how to do it

[NeMeSiS 11]

You could theoretically use a default bullet instead of the dummyBullet the addon provides, but you probably risk killing the unit you want to test and that gives you a whole bunch of healing/reviving stuff to do.

Actually I just made one:

Here's the script tell me if you find bugs.
