Be captive and lay DOWN!?

[Taurus 20]

trigger.sqf

(tried with call, and using normal _x exec "stopThem.sqs";

with file-ext ofc renamed to .sqs on the second script file)

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">unitArray = list _this;

{

if((fleeing _x) && !(captive _x))then

{

_x execVM "stopThem.sqf";

};

} foreach _unitArray;

stopThem.sqf

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_this setCaptive true;

removeAllWeapons _this;

_this setUnitPos "DOWN";

_this setBehaviour "safe";

_this stop true;

player sideChat format ["%1 stopped in pos: %2!",_this, unitPos _this];

The sideChat returns that the units are indeed in position "down".

BUT!! when I go to inspect them they are standing up..

The inital call is done from a repeating trigger. with a 15 sec countdown set.

Obviously the guys mentioned above doesn't know the first rule of not being seen...

I've tried with "Radio Bravo" and then it works for similar groups in combat.

Please help me out!

Try SetUnitPosWeak and see if that works.

[Taurus 20]

Nope it didn't work.

Same result as before.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">removeAllWeapons _this;

_this stop true;

Works for all units, but I'm unable to make them lay down.

Try the laydown switchmove instead. I dont know the name you'll have to look it up.

If you don´t need them anymore you can use disableAI "Move"

once they are on the ground. This will most likely nail them to the ground forever.

Ai in Arma is sometimes pretty resistant to given positions and stances.

Btw Op4 BuhBye, the command you suggested SetUnitPosWeak infact is in no way working at all as it is more or less just a "suggestion" for the AI. It´s much more less strict than SetUnitPos is.

Can AI be re-enabled now?

[Balschoiw 0]

I don´t think so.

Ill test it out sometime....

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

test.sqs

grunt disableAI "move"

~10

grunt enableAI "move"

grunt domove getpos player.

And well see.....

even if its broken at least the framework is there for later fix.
