Combat Arena Concept

[nelo_riot 8]

Hi Guys,

I am working on a huge Tanoan mission framework project, part of which there is a combat arena which I would like to be part of the 'story' as such.

The overall concept is, a singular player walks up to Object, addactions 'Enter Arena', this creates a playable AI unit, the caller becomes the AI unit, once this unit is killed the player returns back to their previous unit.

(The reason I am creating an AI unit: I cannot see a way to remove a players gear and then put it into a box or similar, so when they respawn the gear can be retrieved [This gear wouldn't necessarily be a normal load out]).


I have been playing around and I think these commands are kind've what I am looking for, could anyone advice below?

_caller = _this select 1;
_unit = "SoldierWB" createUnit [position AiArena, group player];
addSwitchableUnit _Unit;
selectPlayer _Unit;

waitUntil {sleep 1; !alive _Unit}; // Unit dead check
selectPlayer _caller;

The addSwitchableUnit command is SP only. Use this instead:

_caller = _this select 1;
_unit = "SoldierWB" createUnit [position AiArena, group player];
player remoteControl _unit; // will remoteControl it, you still will have full control of the player
_unit switchCamera "internal"; // fix the camera to the "vehicle"

waitUntil {sleep 1; !alive _Unit}; // Unit dead check
objNull remoteControl _unit;  // removes the remoteControlling
player switchCamera "internal";  // returns to the player

Also if you are using an addAction the waitUntil command won't work because the script doesn't support supsension.
