Make Dog Follow Player HELP

[gingerlikeme 6]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to make a dog follow the player in my mission. However it doesn't seem to work.

 

In the spoiler is the script I've made. 

 

There are comments on it for you to understand more....

 

_Dog setVariable ["BIS_fnc_animalBehaviour_disable", true]; // Disables the ARMA 3 Default Animal Behaviour
_DogAlreadySpawned = 0; // Variable to see if the dog has already been spawned
_DogHandler = player; // Variable that defines the _DogHandler as the player
_dogGroup = createGroup west; // Creates a group for the Dog to join later and the player to join now
_chance = floor (random [0,875,1750]); // Makes a random number to depend what dog model spawns
[_DogHandler] joinSilent _dogGroup; // Adds the player to the group
if (playerSide == WEST) then // Only works on BluFor
{
 
 if (_DogAlreadySpawned == 0) then // Quick check to see if the dog has already been spawned
 {
  if ((_chance < 250) and (_chance > 0)) then
  {
   _Dog = createAgent ["Fin_sand_F", getPos player, [], 5, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  };
  if ((_chance < 500) and (_chance > 250)) then
  {
   _Dog = createAgent ["Fin_blackwhite_F_F", getPos player, [], 5, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  };
  if ((_chance < 750) and (_chance > 500)) then
  {
   _Dog = createAgent ["Fin_random_F", getPos player, [], 5, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  }; 
  if ((_chance < 1000) and (_chance > 750)) then
  {
   _Dog = createAgent ["Fin_tricolour_F", getPos player, [], 5, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  };
  if ((_chance < 1250) and (_chance > 1000)) then
  {
   _Dog = createAgent ["Alsatian_Sandblack_F", getPos player, [], 5, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  }; 
  if ((_chance < 1500) and (_chance > 1250)) then
  {
   _Dog = createAgent ["Alsatian_Sand_F", getPos player, [], 5, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  };
  if ((_chance < 1750) and (_chance > 1500)) then
  {
   _Dog = createAgent ["Alsatian_Black_F", getPos player, [], 5, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
  }; // Checks the chance and if chance is between a range spawn the dog model
  
  _Dog setDir getDir player; // Set the Dog Model to face the player
  [_Dog] joinSilent _DogGroup; // Adds the dog to the group
  
  while {alive _Dog} do
  {
   _pos = [(getPos player select 0) + (1 * sin (getDir player)), (getPos player select 1) + (0.3 * cos (getDir player)), 0];
   _Dog doMove _pos;
  }; // While the dog is alive get it to follow the player
        {
            if ((_Dog distance2D _x) < 10) then
            {
                if (weapons player != []) then
    {
     playSound3D ["A3\Sounds_F\sfx\blip1.wav", _Dog, true, _Dog, 7, 1, 50];
     _Dog playMoveNow "Dog_Idle_Bark";    
    }; 
            };
        } foreach playableUnits; // Get the dog to go into barking if a player has a gun within 10 meters
 };
} else {
 _DogAlreadySpawned = 1;
 diag_log "Player Already Has A Dog";
 hint "You Already Have A Police Dog";
};

 

Thanks in Advance,

Hello there gingerlikeme !

 

By saying solved , you mean that the code in the first post is working?

Thanks !

[gingerlikeme 6]

Nope with some help on the ARMA 3 Discord I solved the issue.

Since you post the question for help, can you post the solution as well?

[bad benson 1733]

@gingerlikeme yea. posting the solution is not only editing forums etiquette for its own sake but also solves a purpose which is to create some type of encyclopedia of problems and their solutions here. this is the main advantage over something like discord where things are very momentary and come up over and over while here you can search through a rich history of discussions and often find the solution to your problem in no time without the need of discussion.

 

sometimes a thread from arma 2 days might even solve your problem. it's a beautiful thing that we should keep going.
