Detect "crwling"

[Harkonin 0]

Working on a script, actually its done but I would like to add a feature if a unit is crawling.

Anyone know how to detect it like an animation phase maybe or if a unit takes a certain action?

Thanks Hark

do you mean that you want to know if the unit is hurt so bad that it cannot stand?

canStand unit1

or do you want the unit to not lay down?

(mr Bradshaw, will you stand up please?)

unit1 setUnitPos "UP"

or?

No i just want to detect when unit is on the ground injured or not.

so you would put that in like the condition field right

No! Off course not. That's the explanation BIS gave us in the official com ref  

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

condition : !canstand player

onactivation : hint "He, I can't walk anymore"

or

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

condition : canstand player

onactivation : hint "Wohoo, I can walk!"

but then again, Harkonin said:

Correct, I don't care if he can stand ot not I need to detect the "action" of crawling.

something like

?(_unit acton yadayada):whatever

or If (_unit action whatever) then

is there an animation phase maybe?

is it perhaps possible to determine the "height above ground" of one soldiers head?

something like

apa1 = getPos soldierHead select 2

if apa1 < 1 then

"hello I'm laying on the ground"

I dont think you can do that with animphase.

But check the height of that unit in combination with it's speed could work. When he's crawling, he's moving,so his speed is higher than 0..

I'd need a reference point for that, any suggestions?

maybe something like

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

_unit = _this select 0

_pos = getpos _unit

_speed = velocity _unit

?(_pos select2) < 0.5 && (_speed < 10):do whatever
