No Prone during Combat

[demonhunter212 0]

Hello, im am creating a mission in Iraq with the American and British Infantry at a base that suddenly comes under attack by lots of insurgents.....but im still in the planning phase .

There won't be much cover for the insurgents so i'm wondering if there is a way for any unit not to go prone in action?

Normally in combat in OFP if a unit even hears a snap from a bullet hitting a wall they hit the dirt and if the insurgents go prone then they become sitting ducks.

How would I apply this command to all units in the mission?

Do you really mean all units in the mission? There is a quick way of doing it using an array of all groups in the mission and running the command on them. It will force all of them to stay permanently up though, and also it means they can never return to the weapon on back strolling animations you see in safe mode until you change their position back to auto.

Create a trigger bigger as the map (50000x50000 i.e) and activation by the side you want the soldiers to stand or to go down...

then in the "ON ACTIVATION" field write:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">{_x setUnitPos "UP"} forEach thislist

That didn't seem to work. Whenever they hear gunshots they go prone, instead of killing zombies. Perhaps something in a game logic?

This seems like a simple question. Does anyone have a solution?

Put the units you want to do this into groups. Then for every group run this command:

(_x setunit pos "up") foreach mygroup

If that doesn't work it might need this next little tweak:

(_x setunit pos "up") foreach units mygroup

That will work.

That won't work, it's setUnitPos without the space and () are only used in arithmetic and conditions. For code blocks you should always use {}, although "" will usually work too.

Group is just the id for a group, forEach only works with arrays. Use units to get the array of units in a group. This would be correct:

{_x setUnitPos "UP"} forEach units groupname

Linker Split's example works. If it doesn't, you're doing something wrong or the units are created dynamicly. Remember that triggers don't activate again unless they deactivate first. To create a trigger that setUnitPosses everyone in it constantly every 5 seconds:

activation: anybody, repeatedly

name: prone_trig

condition: time mod 5 < 1

onActivation: {_x setUnitPos "UP"} forEach list prone_trig

This worked perfectly, thank you!
