making units stand

[THEBLITZ6794 10]

im making some missions that include ww1 style charges and i want to force soldiers to stand behind sandbags to shoot and other units to keep running at them and randomly stopping and shooting.

WW1 style means WW1 mod ? :o:

Anyway, to have soldiers standing up, put this in their init line

this setunitpos "UP"

If you wanna a whole group to stand up, write this in the init line of one unit of the group

{_x setunitpos "UP"} foreach units group this

or a whole area of units, put a trigger covering your units, (activable by East for East units, West for West, anybody for anybody etc.), and write this in the "on activation" line :

{_x setunitpos "UP"} foreach thislist

basically after losing the airport in everon the russians have setup a defense line infront of entre duex (SP?) and with large hills shilkas are having a field day (they hide behind the hill with their radar poking up then pullup when they see something) so a combined armor/inf assault is the only way 2 go!

Wow, freaking awesome! I forgot, totally about that init code and was about to ask about it.

Does the following exist?:

this setunitpos "DOWN"

I wanted to force snipers to go prone, so..... I think you can tell...

It exists. You might want to use http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Scripting_Commands_ArmA as a command reference.
