How do i make enemy not

[jjj666 0]

I've tried to search for a solution for my problem, but couldn't find one. I'm trying to make an assassination mission where enemies don't shoot at me untill I start shooting or they see my weapon. I know commands like dotarget and dofire, but is there a way to make them shoot only when I take my weapon in hand? Thank you guys!

In your players init field, put 'this setcaptive true'

Now the enemies won't shoot at you.

How do you mean 'see my weapon'? Is it a pistol, so they can't see it while its holstered?

I'm not sure about having weapon in hand, but to detect if your player has fired you should have use eventhandler 'fired'

I *think* it would be this addeventhandler ["fired", F1 = true]

then a trigger to set setcaptive to false on F1.

To make them only shoot you if you have shot your weapon, use:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">addEventHandler ["fired", {player setcaptive false}]<span id='postcolor'>

Make sure your unit is setcaptive true at the start of the mission though.

This solution will only work with V1.91.

Baron,

Yes, I mean when I'm having only a pistol and put weapon on back. I'm not sure, but I think the weapon is hidden by using that option? Btw, those soldiers having only a handgun are really dumb looking on safe mode holding their invisible rifle.

Thank you and Red both for that AddEventHandler. That would propably have been my next question...  

But still, does anyone know is there a solution for the original problem?

You could maybe have it so that player wouldn't have a weapon to begin w/ and add an action to the action menu that says like Take out gun, and when the player clicks it add the pistol and mags to the player, though I think I tried to add a weapon to me in a game and OFP CTD'd.

This thread: Stance and Behaviour should help you some. As Ralph Wiggum says, it's not been totally tested, but should be worth a try..

Use hasWeapon command, which indicates whether or not a unit is carrying a specific weapon type.

?(MyGuy hasWeapon "M16"):MyGuy sidechat "I've got an M16!"

Only trouble with that, is that it only shows if the unit has a weapon, not whether he's drawn said weapon.

If you use the method edc suggested it will work fine.

Another Solution:

Player Init field: this setcaptive true

Make a Trigger:

Radiuses: 0/0

Leave everythng else alone.

In condition field put: (MyGuy ammo "weaponname" ==10)

Activation Field: MyGuy setcaptive false

------------------------

Where it has ==10, change the 10 to however many bullets are in the magazine.

Then when you pull the weapon out, it will detect that you have, say... 10 bullets in your mag, the Trigger should then set off.

I havnt tried this. But im certain it works.

Red,

For some reason it didn't work for me. I got the gun without bullets, and couldn't use the optics. I created the action menu and that worked fine, but I guess something went wrong in typing my little script. Well that's quite understandable with my scripting skills...

Add the ammo first, then add the weapon. The code you used now probably does work, hit your spacebar.

I didn't remember to hit the spacebar... and you can imagine for how many ours I cursed this editor and scripting.

Lol Well, at least it works now.

Hope that others too have got new ideas for mission making of this thread. For me this has been a big help. Thanks to every one!
