Enable dynamic simulation with script

[tortuosit 485]

Hi guys, I am editing another guys code. It is about spawning units in houses and I want to test dynamic simulation. But it did not start, units happily moved even when I was miles away.

 

enableDynamicSimulationSystem true;
[...]
_unit = _milGroup createUnit [_unitType, _newPos, [], 0, "NONE"];
_unit setpos _newPos; _unit enableDynamicSimulation true;
hint str (dynamicSimulationEnabled _unit);

Relevant code. The hint returns "false" - How is it possible?

In 3den you can only tick Enable Dynamic Simulation for groups or objects, not units. For units you can tick Wake-Up Dynamic Simulation. So maybe it need to be group in the script as well?

You most likely need to lower the distances for dynamic simulation to kick in using the following two commands or just set them in eden per mission basis.

Well now I have set ""Group" setDynamicSimulationDistance 100;"

 

And still, the group is in the north of Stratis, I am (player) in the south end, and I can see, all 3 members of the group move. Even after minutes.

As mentioned by Janez, have you tried to add the dynamic simulation to the group of the untis as in
 

_milGroup enableDynamicSimulation true;

I personally only touch the setting of dynamic simulation in the editor and just enable it on ais, groups and objects upon them spawning.

Guys, I was blind. Happily confused groups with units. As it seems, dyn. sim. has to be applied to groups.

EDIT: it works.
