Freeze animation

[MAsta_KFC 0]

I'm currently making a mission where I wish a spotter in a sniper team keep his binoculars trained on a suspect. However, all of the playmove/switchmove animations end with the spotter putting away his binocs. I need him to keep his binocs up to his eyes.

I've tried looping the 'binoccrouchtocrouch/binocstandtostand/binoclyingtolying'

animations via script HOWEVER, due to the animation movement, the looping has the spotter slowly shifting to the left. After about 5 mins or so, he's nowhere near where he's meant to be. This is especially worse when he's on top of a building

Does anyone have any ideas to solve this prob? I wish there would be a freezemove/resumemove command

couple of ideas. you could setpos him every few cycles so he stays put where you want him. Or is there a way to have a have a unit use his binos. Sorry I don't know the script command to do that but I imagine there is one.

You used the animations for passing from "binoc state" to "normal state" (standing/crouching/lying).

It would probably be better to do the other way : from normal state to binoc state, so that unit finishes its movement in binoc state.

NormalToBinoc effects :

- CombatToBinoc

- CrouchToBinocCrouch

- LyingToBinocLying

- StandToBinocStand

try the "stop" command: I've had some success using this with salute routines where I don't wanna use disableAI...e.g.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">soarCommander stop true

soarCommander doWatch player

player setBehaviour "SAFE"

@unitReady player

player playMove "EffectStandSalute"

~0.5

soarCommander playMove "EffectStandSalute"

~1

soarCommander playMove "EffectStandSaluteEnd"

~1

player playMove "EffectStandSaluteEnd"<span id='postcolor'>

worked fairly well (if I remember correctly), so something like this should work:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">spotter stop true

spotter playmove "WhateverTheBinocularsAnimIs"

~for a bit :)

spotter stop false<span id='postcolor'>
