I should preface by noting that I'm a complete novice with the ArmA 2 editor.

I'm making a sniper range and army recognition course on and in the forests around the large northeastern runway in Chernarus. An example of a drill might be; you are placed in a forest, you know units are hidden in cover behind trees around you, you have to ID friend/foe as dummies: lean out of cover, move from cover to cover, pop up from cover.

Post the number of what you answer, please include how to set a unit regardless if it's a starting position for the unit (ie: standing).

How to position mannequin:

1. Disable AI, no movement or change facing, firing etc.

2. Bring ironsight up

3. Relax weapon at side

4. Stand

5. Crouch

6. Prone

7. Lean left/right

How to move target dummy:

8. Cycle back and forth between waypoints.

9. Sprint waypoints.

10. Run waypoints.

11. Walk waypoints.

12. Crouch run waypoints.

13. Crouch walk waypoints.

14. Crawl waypoints.

15. Slow crawl waypoints.

16. Wait (time) at a waypoint.

17. Hold a position before switching to another (keep a unit prone 10 secs, then crouched 10s, then standing, etc.).

18. Change facing once a waypoint is reached.

19. Place a waypoint marker for the player where a new drill will begin.

20. Trigger a drill/ai behavior once a player waypoint is reached.

21. Friendly units unattached to player's squad.

I'm sure I'll be editing this as I encounter the need for more/less.

Thanks!

Erm, are you asking for us to answer all of that? Coz, at least with #1 you've essentially answered it yourself, and I answered it earlier in another thread.

Start here with your search of knowledge.

Then look for similar scripts here to see how others did it.

Then if you still have questions, ask here. Your initial question shows a disturbing lack of having tried anything yet and is extremely complex for what you want it to do. Start small, learn as you go, get better. :)

But we can both agree that would make my life a lot easier.
