How to make enemy units not take hostile action across a marker.

[Rayers12 19]

Think of the marker as a border, and I want a realistic border situation.

Hi Rayers12,

What do you want to achieve? The units to just stay behind the border and not shoot, or just the former?

Hello... splicer.

They are to unmoving stay behind a line, facing each other. On trigger, they open fire and exec a citywide U.P.S. search.

well you could always just put a waypoint and in combaat mode put never fire...

[Rayers12 19]

Yes, but they take action against the forces, IE moving, taking cover. I need figuratvie eye contact between the guards.

[TheConfuzzler 10]

do you want them to do things after that? because you could do the disableAI script. that would stop them from doing things.

or use "setcaptive" for that time..

Hi Rayers12,

I think I found the answer for you: doStop (see http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/doStop).

The wiki says: "Order the given unit(s) to stop (without radio messages). Stopped unit will not be able to move or fire. It may still change its orientation to follow a watched object, or its stance if deemed appropriate (e.g. under fire)."

Try it out and let us know if it does the trick for you. :D

Best, Splicer.

Doesn't work. units still engage.

Well... Another option could be the enableAttack command...
