Hidebody only available to black ops

Hi

I've noticed that the saboteur class automatically gets the "hide body" action added. Is it possible to add this "builtin action" to any type of player, or do I have to attach an EH-killed to all AIs on the battlefield?

the biki is always your friend:

if you're making your own custom soldier, then you just add that to the config. If you want to add it to an existing soldier via the mission editor, then I'm sure it's possible, just I'm not sure how its done

Add an action to all dead soldiers (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction, best way via killed EH) and write in the script <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_this select 1 action ["HIDEBODY", _this select 0] Done.

there you go both angles covered

Yes, I had already used an attached EH to everyone. But I was sure there had to be a better way of doing it since apparently it's doable on a per type basis. But I guess not, since it appears to be a class defined option.

What I was hoping for was to add "canhidebodies" to players type of soldier in the editor, instead of attaching en EH-killed event to every soldier on the map.

But one thing always leads to another it seems.

How can I restrict what units an addaction or eventhandler is being added to, based on its class? Since I now get Hidebody on vehicles I take out.

You could also add a trigger which is setpos'ed to the players position and only add the action to the player when there's a dead unit in the trigger.

You can check through the triggers list with isKindOf or you can check in the config if the unit type has the correct side (with getNumber(configFile>>"CfgVehicles">>myType>>"side")

).
