Something i discovered!

[Rifleman 0]

i discovered this today, on the 2 story + ladder to the atic houses if u put a man over it he will automaticly be in the atic and it works perfect for snipers, AT guys, or ambushes,

but u have to put this in the init field of the guys to keep em from falling thru the wall

this setunitpos "UP"

have fun with it, added lots of possibilities to my missions

Even better, if you place a mans WP directly on a house, you will get new options in the WP dialogue box, where you can set the position (#1,#2, etc) for the story you want him to climb to.

Do it on the castle in everon (theres about 9 positions I think), and you can get your men to run to the top

Isnt there a church building somewhere that has a tower perfect for a sniper? I cant find it.

Also how would I put someone up there???

There is definetly one in the Southern most village in Everon, I think it's called St. Pierre. It is a bell tower with shaded windows. There might be another one in one of those non descript towns in North Everon as well, Meaux or something.

This buildings position is not thast simple

I tried to assign squad members to different positions

FROM THE GAME (being a squad leader)

When you choose a soldier and point the mouse

on a building the cursor shows "Position N" but the unit

acts quite randomly. Usualy even when you point on the second floor the soldiers stops on the ground floor,

but sometimes they do go upstairs.

If anyone has a comment on this I 'll be glad to here it.

It's okay, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was using an M2, but it only works with infantry.

There is no good church with a belltower for snipers in Meaux.

I checked.

But there is a church-tower in Le Moule that is positioned nicely for snipers

I have found out that when you zoom in far and put a guy up on the Castle Tower of the Castle Ruins, he is standing on the top as well. But, I want a flag on top and it won't work! It stands there on the ground instead of the top. I know it is possible to do it, casue I saw it one time in a mission. Anyone got a solution for this?

No, I saw it in a misison. A flag on top of the Castle Tower so it HAS to work. This would be so cool.

im purdy good at guessin how high the Z value should be (i map for DF2 and Land Warrior)

but yea i noticed once about the xtra options

[Bart.Jan 0]

Place flag on building and put this into init field :

this setpos [getpos this select 0,getpos this select 1,(getpos this select 2) +10]

Try to change last number (10) for accurate height you want.

you cannot destroy a church right? Would be a difficult kill then if a sniper is hiding in a church and overseeing your troops...

but you can shoot through that window.
