Longer animations

[ViperCheese 0]

How do I increase the amount of pushups done with the this switchmove "FXStandtodip" command and the amount of time a guy has his arms crossed with "this switchmove "FXCivilFoldOnesArms"

Use a loop.

Here's a script to make a specified soldier do 10 push ups. Note the use of the PlayMove statement, it ensures smooth transition between animations.

USAGE:

[mysoldier] exec "pushups.sqs"

Pushups.sqs:

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

; Parameter 1: Unit to do press ups.

_soldier = _this select 0

_j = 0

#lp

? _j == 10: goto "end"

_soldier playmove "FXStandDip"

_j = _j+1

~1.5

goto "lp"

#end

exit

You did copy that text into a file called pushup.sqs didn't you?

And [] exec'd it from the unit's initialisation section in the mission editor?

What to do:

1) Go to mission editor

2) Place a soldier on the map

3) Double click the soldier to bring up its properties

4) Name the soldier mysoldier.

5) In the soldier's initialisation section, type:

[mysoldier] exec "pushups.sqs"

the [] are very important.

6) Save the map and make sure pushups.sqs is in the same directory as the map's .sqm file.

does it work the same way if i want a couple of soldiers stand on knee with their hands on their heads? untill all enemys within a 100m perimeter is dead and a friendly soldier comes within 5m from the men? and that they join the friendly squad after that? (a hostage rescue)
