Switchmove problems

[eisa01 0]

I need some civillians (hostages) to get their hand on their head. Im trying to do it with switchmove but it just doesn't work. I need em to use FXStandSurUniv as the animation how do i do it??

hello,

imho fx stuff just works while executed in scripts. just write it in a script (hostage.sqs or whatever) and let the civilians execute it. hope it works.

Put all the civilians into a group, called say "Hostages"

Then in your trigger put this line;

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

"_x switchmove {fxstandsurv}" foreach units hostages

<span id='postcolor'>

Just check the anim name is correct.

"_x switchmove ""FXStandSur""" foreach units group mygroup should do the trick, but it seems you have to use it in either a waypoint or a trigger. (watch the double ")

Be careful with this command, because these units will remain forever in this position, if you want them to die or sth you will have to do another switchmove, e.g. "FXSTAngel"

The best thing to do is to use it in a script as someone already posted.

#START

not (alive myCiv) : goto "CIVDEAD"

~0.01

goto "START"

#CIVDEAD

myCiv switchmove "FXStandSurDead"

This works for me
