BRDM chicken of water?

Recommended Posts

I search here and the Biki but I can't find anything about it. Seems like it would be posted a million years ago but I can't find anything. I can't remember if OFP was like this...I don't recall any BRDM issues. :P

Anyway, how do you make a BRDM go in and out of water or just spawn in the water and move? I tried putting a BRDM and a waypoint but it doesn't move it stays above the water. I set it's Pos -1 but it still doesn't activate as a boat until you shoot it then it still doesn't go for the waypoint. I also tried starting it on land but it just heads to the waypoint and stops at the edge of the water.

TIA

I just placed a BRDM on Rahmadi around 50m away from the coastline in the water.

First it stands on the water as it would stand on ground, then after 10 seconds it drops in the water and starts swimming towards the waypoint I set.

Edit: They refuse though to swim out in the ocean when placed on land first. crazy_o.gif

I just reported it on the bugtracker under #2123

Good job. thumbs-up.gif

I substituted the BRDM to a BMP2 for now but it's gonna be overkill for the mission.

Crap. I have to put that mission on hold I guess. I can't even get a squad to mount a PBX while in water. The boat either heads to shore and back to the squad then sits there or just sits there... I would hate to just trigger a script but looks like I have to. Defeats the purpose of the editor.

EDIT: WHWHAHAHAHA!! I tried to make the squad get get in the PBX from the beach and three (squad of 4) of them crawled into the water and died the squad leader just stands there and watches.

EDIT2: Ok he doesn't just watch. After a little while he swims out to the PBX and treads water but doesn't get it. Looks like I'm gonna have to moveInCargo.

EDIT3: I tried CRRC and a squad of 2 US and it does the same thing. I swam with them when they went for the CRRC and noticed we all spooged our weapons and ammo onto the ocean floor. I only had my M9 and 4 clips when I went back to shore.
