Putting AI on top of objects and how to unarm them?

[GoreZiad 0]

When putting AI in bunkers/buildings they tend to stay on the bottom floor, is there any way around this? Or putting them on chairs and what not. Also, what can I put in the init line to unarm them?

I knew how to do this in ArmA 1, but I guess it's a little different in this game? Maybe not?

Thanks.

place them outside the bulding. Make a waypoint on to the building, click OK. Open the waypont and a new menu has been added. Select which position you want your unit in, and click OK.

When the mission starts, he will move to that position.

If you just want to place the unit in height, just place him on the object, and put this in his init linie: this setpos[getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, (getpos this select 2) +10.0]

That should place him 10 meters up in the air. He will then drop until he hits something to stand on, så don't set it too high.

Easiest way of placing AI in buildings is to make use of the buildingpositions.

You can create a simple script for this and call it from the init to easily place an AI in the desired position of a building.

Here:

setbpos.sqf

_obj = _this select 0;
_index = _this select 1;
_building = nearestBuilding _obj;
_obj setPos (_building buildingPos _index);

Now just place the AI next to the building and put this in the init: (x is the number of the position inside that building)

nul=[this,x] execVM "setbpos.sqf";

DaveP released a script here in this forum called AI Urban Building/Combat Positioning Script. This script let the AI take random positions in houses ect...with example mission.

Sorry, i found the thread not at the moment, but you also can get it from here if you want.

Edit: here is the link to the thread

I've just tried that script but it just puts the units into the sea.

Ignore I put a coment in the script that messed it up.

Hehe no you're not going to tell me I have a bug in a script that consists of merely 4 lines of code! :P

Thanks for the replies.

dumb question perhaps but where exactly... do i type the...

_obj = _this select 0;

_index = _this select 1;

_building = nearestBuilding _obj;

_obj setPos (_building buildingPos _index);

because I always get this ''local variable.. global space thing..."

@Vostov: put it in a plain text file (use notepad or similar) with a .sqf extension, in your mission directory (each mission made in the editor has its own directory). You then call it as explained in Tajin's post.

Oh I guess we need some sort of basic "How to create and execute an script"-HowTo these problems seem to appear frequently.
