AgamemnonTR 0 Posted February 4, 2002 as far as I've seen, you can't make 'em put their hads behind their back. only put their guns on their shoulder or salute... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MP 0 Posted February 4, 2002 Make a trigger and group it to a soldier. Name the soldier man1. Next in the condition field of the trigger type true. And in the "On Activation" field of the same trigger type: man1 switchmove "FXStandAtt". Now group the trigger to man1 (F2) and he will be standing with shoulders back, chest out and a straight back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mahuja 12 Posted February 5, 2002 Too bad there is no way to nest strings... This won't work because of that... "_x switchmove 'FXStandAtt'" foreach group man1 Which will make every soldier in that group (put them in a line formation) stand at attention. I might make a script that can do it for you...

mahuja 12 Posted February 5, 2002 When I tried it, I found that once again nested strings caused a problem. It is possible that I can use \ to escape the inner "s but I want to find out before I make the thing... But if that is possible, a simple "_x switchmove \"FXStandAtt\"" foreach group man1 ought to do the job. Don't know though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're wasteful enough to use triggers at all for this, you should at least use only one trigger with an "on activation" containing several commands. For those who didn't know, you just put a ; between commands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intruder 0 Posted February 5, 2002 Oh, your trying to make a univesal one to work on grouped units, where induvidual soldiers don't have names. I used the above in one of my scripts in a mission I made, and I just named each soldier. Unless your going to use 20+ soldiers it shouldn't be a problem. Even BIS used that method in the Training mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOberleutnant 0 Posted February 5, 2002 OK, this may not be related to much here, but it is similar: when i have some men standing still for an execution cutscene, how the hell do you make the guards fire 1 bullet at them? Mine seem to have a desire to empty a few magazines towards the prisoners! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intruder 0 Posted February 6, 2002 Try set their ammo level really low with the slider, experiment with it to see how it adjusts their ammo level, cos I'm not sure if it reduces the number of magazines it self, or the amount of rounds in the magazine as well. You could give them sniper rifles. You could set thir skill to the highest to reduce the amount of ammo used to kill them. Give each soldier a target unitname DoFire unitname_1 in the correct place in the cutscene script (if there is one). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
