variantsAI[]

[andersson 285]

Hello!

I'm trying to figure out how to use different readystances (using DMA-anims) in the same config.

I have tried to understand exactly how the variantsAI[] works but I havent solved it..

This is from the commanted config: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">variantsAI[]={""}; // variants for AI - default is to use players variants

This is an example from the ECP-config:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">variantsAI[]={"CombatRelaxedStill",0.800000,"CombatRelaxed"};

That is taken from this part: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> class CombatRelaxed : Combat

{

actions="CombatRelaxedActions";

file="savarestanistat.rtm";

speed=10000000000.000000;

looped=1;

disableWeapons=0;

variantsAI[]={"CombatRelaxedStill",0.800000,"CombatRelaxed"};

interpolateTo[]={"CombatRelaxedDying",0.100000,"CombatRelaxedDyingVer2",0.100000};

};

What is the meaning of the number 0.800000 after "CombatRelaxedStill"?

If have spent some time just looking at a group standing in readystance (aware mode) to see what they do. Sometimes they use "CombatRelaxedStill" but not very often, and sometimes they also use other anims, ex reloading...

I want to alter the config so the soldiers in a group use different readystances, preferably switching stance now and then.

How can I change what anim is played and the chance and time for that anim-variant to be used?

Before the Resistance expansion was released, ingame sometime the AI could take some a different animation when being in combat mode (the same as the default stance, except the AI was a bit "shaking" nervously)

Since Resistance i never ever noticed the AI using those kind of "variant" animations.

After using binview on the CWC OFP config and comparing the variantAI lines with the Resistance config, i noticed no difference.

so i can only guess that this feature is broken or removed in the Resistance code.

Sad because it was giving a bit more 'life" as not every AI was exactly in the same position everytime like it is now.

nope it must be possible ... ai in the ecp mod use different standig possitions in the save possition if you wait a while... would like to know how they did that:P

Scripting not config. But a config solution would be nice.

It`s easy to give units static anims for shooting pictures. The problem is, that this static anims couldn`t realy be used for playing.

You already have the first part. Timing is controlled by VariantAfter[]={min,mid,max};.

Make sure that the variant states can be reached (interpolateWith, connectFrom..).
