Alter units so that AI aims for head?

[Zombie_Mod 0]

Dear all,

I am working on a new version of the zombie mod, and would like all AI units to aim for the head of zombies, instead of the legs and body. The zombies have the same named selections as "normal" units (hlava etc) so no problems there.

Can anyone please tell me if this is possible in OFP without scripting? How do you specify vulnerable points on a unit in OFP? I am sure it is one of the LODS....

Thanks for your help.

in the memory lod move the zamerny selection from here

to here

see if that works

Thanks for your help. I will try that!

so have you tried it yet?

[Zombie_Mod 0]

No, not yet - Mig was trying it though

He said that if you just delete every named selection except "hlava" that the AI will target the head only.

I really need to try this myself.

Some tips for that:

1- The geometry lod:

The zombies are able to cause dammage in vehicles so if a car try to hit a zombie the car will get some dammaged. Just need to change the zombie mass in the geometry lod and adjust it the way you want. I set the mass to 1828.903 , that is more than a unit an less than a car and it works fine.

2- The hitpoints lod:

Zombies only die if they get shotted in the head so we only leave one hitpoint: the hlava so the zombie only get dammage in the head.

3- The viewgeometry lod:

This lod represents what the AI can see ingame so we only leave the head area, nothing more

With regards to #3

Hi Mig, I don't think the viewgeometry should be cut down, as explained by this page:

we don't want the AI to "see through" the zombies, do we? That would just be rubbish

You are right but that is the only way i found so the AI aim only the head. If you found a script way to make AI aim the head only, problem solved and we can keep the full view geometry lod so AI can't see through them

well why only make the AI aim for the head for? why not let the AI shoot them all over? would be intresting to see the zombies get shot up but not go down.

make it so that the zombies take damge all over but only die if they get hit in the head?

I make it work so AI must shoot only the head cause it's better for AI soldiers or they wont have any chance against the zombies   The zombies are faster now   Anyway this new features are working only in the new zombies models. The BIS civilians that zombie_mod has used as zombies will behave the same way (concerning O2 features)

So does the zamerny selection work or not?

I need to find out

I must have the AI aiming for the head.

in the memory lod move the zamerny selection from here

I've made a little research and you are right. Zarmeny means aiming point (damn language) so moving the zarmeny selection from chest to the head it is a simple way to achieve what we want. I've just tryed again and it works just fine  I'm a damn stubborn!!!
