How do you spawn a Hawk?

[Rexxenexx 0]

I can spawn other animals with createUnit, but when I try to do the hawk I get "bad vehicle type Hawk".

the hawk is not set up as an animal like the seagul. I guess it's more like an environment effect. camCreate might work, but I'm not sure if "hawk" is the right classname.

Just guessing.

I'll try that. I was going off this page for the names. Also when you place an animal they stand still just moving their head, the Goat for example. I need to experiment more.

I've been curious about this to, like when building in the editor to watch the AIs reaction easier i wanted to set the player as the famous "seagull" or "crow" so i can just fly around and keep track of the AI.

It is camCreate "hawk". Hes pancaked on the ground but he chirps. ;)

Ok, scripting just ain't me at this point, so can someone explain how I can convert an independent unit into a seagull, that I can then set some waypoints for (is this possible?)?

Have played with variations of CreateUnit in the Init line, to no avail

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/createUnit looks a little different to the tooltip that pops up in the ARMA2 editor.

Endgame is that I want to use AtachTo on the seagull for something small (like a cow, gosh dang there are no pigs in ARMA2...), so a chopper as the spawn unit doesn't cut the mustard....
