They will stand up once they engage, only way ti stop it is with disable AI move but then they won't move or shoot.

Tried this yet?

soldierOne setUnitPos "Down"

EDIT: Ahh never mind, I thought you meant Prone.

ive asked this question before but the way it is it's not working good there must be a way

[bn880 5]

Not necessairly. Lack of control over AI is an issue in OFP.

I don't know, but maybe with

_soldier addEventHandler ["killed",{_this disableAI "MOVE"}] ?

You used the "How to" (in the page 5 or 6) i wrote in the Mission Editing FAQ up there.

nice to see that someone made an example mission of it , as it can be easier to understand when seeing it rather than reading it in the FAQ ;)

Yeah but they won't shoot at anyone while crouched. If you script it and add the parameters of dowatch, dotarget and dofire this will fix your problem.

Hmm no good so far but heres your crouch script (they still won't shoot)

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

_grp = _this select 0

({_x setbehaviour "COMBAT"} forEach units _grp);

({_x setcombatmode "RED"} forEach units _grp);

?!(alive _grp):exit

#loop

({_x setunitpos "up"} forEach units _grp);

({_x switchmove "crouch"} forEach units _grp);

({_x dowatch player} forEach units _grp);

({_x dotarget player} forEach units _grp);

~0.15

goto"loop"

dammit your right they won't fire could you edit the mission i made above to work PLEase im not that good at it so im not sure how to add what ya wrote

Use this - Execute with [this] Exec "croucher.sqs"

btw if used for an entire group simply put it in the officers initfield.

_grp = _this select 0

({_x setbehaviour "COMBAT"} forEach units _grp);

({_x setcombatmode "RED"} forEach units _grp);

({_x setunitpos "up"} forEach units _grp);

({_x switchmove "crouch"} forEach units _grp);

#start

?!(alive _grp):exit

?(_grp knowsabout player <= 0.49):goto"start"

?(_grp knowsabout player >= 0.5):goto"Fire"

#fire

?!(alive _grp):exit

({_x setbehaviour "COMBAT"} forEach units _grp);

({_x setcombatmode "RED"} forEach units _grp);

({_x setunitpos "up"} forEach units _grp);

({_x switchmove "crouch"} forEach units _grp);

({_x dotarget player} forEach units _grp);

({_x dofire player} forEach units _grp);

~0.2

?!(alive player) || (_grp knowsabout player <=0.49):goto"start"

goto"fire"

I think i found the problem in your example mission that prevented the resistance soldier to open fire.

Near them i created a 3 men russian patrol , and the crouched AI just looked at them behind his barrier cover, aiming at them but without firing.

I tried several things , always aiming without firing.

As i wrote that "how to" have the AI to crouch in the mission editing faq, i knew that it worked for me before, so something was wrong but what ?.

Then i removed the barrier.

And the crouched resistance soldier opened fire on sight , crouched.

I added again the barrier to check, and he didnt fired again.

Tada ! that was the problem.

A crouched AI , with this method doesnt seem to be able to open fire (you can notice that he try to aim up sometime) if he is behind some objects used as cover.

I didnt tried all the objects of the editor , maybe there are some that doesnt prevent the crouched guy to fire.

I do believe that if you set the sandbag's damage to 1 (dead) they will fire over the top of it. I think.

you can use the setpos command and bury the sandbags or wall a little bit into the ground, i have done this and it works fine
