Um, am I the only one to point out that you can't have Human rights for something that isn't Human.... ?

If any of you are In Australia.. (I'm not sure if America etc. does this) But occassionally Army bases like Enoggera have open days. The last one I went to, they were allowing people to go out into a little cordoned off "Battlefield" wearing the laser training suits (vests and helmets with laser sensors to tell you if you've been hit by a round and have been wounded or killed...) and a Steyr with the laser attachment over the barrel. It's not exactly combat... so its not the same by a long shot... but it is fun... and it does show you exactly how confusing things can get and how you can loose track of the battleground as a whole when you are under fire or shooting at someone else..

Okay, I want to script a cutscene part way through a mission, when a squad reaches a certain point on the map... However, the squad has waypoints after the waypoint where I want the cutscene, and so whenever the cutscene starts, all of the soliders continue running to the next waypoint leaving the player standing looking like a dumbass on the spot. What I want to know, is how can I get all of the soldiers to stop moving until the cutscene finishes. What command in the script do I have to use to get them to stop moving, and then start again at the end???

Thanks for your help, I'll try that now..

Off Topic... KDF what is that slung under the barrel of the Steyr in your avatar? It isn't a Grenade Launcher is it?

I was killed while in a T-80 by a BMP-1 simply because the Although I had told the AI gunner to target the BMP and fire.. whoever was announcing "Soldier 5 O'clock, 200" "Soldier 6 O'clock, 200" "Soldier 2 O'clock, 200" kept my commands from taking effect until after he had finished announcing all of the soldiers... therefore, it was only after eight shots from the BMP that my AI gunner did anything, and by that stage I was dead.

The throw weapon does work, just not how you think. Throw is the weapon stuck to your wrist i.e. your hand, hence the name throw weapon. It's used for launching hand grenades :-) There's also put, used for mines and satchels. What we need is a toss item command :-) It can also be useful if your rifle is empty - just toss the weapon at the enemy, like in Saving Private Ryan!<span id='postcolor'> And then after throwing your weapon at them.. take off your helmet and throw it...

One thing I don't get.. Is Red Hammer set before, during, or after the 1985 Campaign? if its During.. then it seems a bit stupid.. but if its after.. what happened to all of the American forces on Everon? why are there Resistance everywhere?

I didn't even take out the M2 gunners.. I just used the buildings to block their field of fire, and took out the two Vulcans.. then stole the Hum-vee and rushed up to the road, and drove away..

Okay... Men in Civilian uniforms riding in the back of United States Army Five Ton Trucks.. to me, when I first saw that in the cutscene, I thought "Soldiers in disguise... or Resistance" Ambushing them wouldn't have been a problem. However, what I didn't get was why they didn't just mine the road... or use rockets / grenades to blow all of the trucks without having to fire a shot...

It could also be the sheet of soft material they put onto the ground to make sleeping, lying prone on sentry duty etc. more comfortable. But soldiers (as far as I am aware) don't carry sleeping bags with them...

Warriors was a very high-impact mini-series... It really shows what the soldiers in those situations have to deal with.

DOn't get me wrong... I want more land units too... and a proper 60mm mortar or moveable field artillary etc... But as Long as BIS are making add-ons... why don't we ask for everything we can get our hands on... For example.. bridges.. how many more missions could be made if we were given an Island with bridges......

But the SIlenced UMP makes a cool noise.

The UN generally is made up of military soldiers sent in under the UN banner to protect whatever country.. The only permanent UN staff (as far as I was aware) are just there to monitor things like weapon production (ie. weapon inspection tours in Iraq)

Speaking of airwolf... I think they should be released on DVD... to accompany a nice game based upon the series in the style of MIA.

It seems that alot of the good aircraft are being retired in favor of 'swapable' part, multi-role aircraft. The A10 The F14 Both are being retired, with the F16 to be fazed out as a frontline strike aircraft, and the FA-18 Hornet to be put into the backseat of carrier operations as well.

Okay, I know this has been asked before, but I can't find it on the forum. What command do you use to prevent units moving during a cutscene? Dostop makes the units stop, but then I can't get them to move again and they just stand there looking like idiots.

Who gives a d*amn about internet play.... Codemasters Dropped the Seal Team project because they said that there was interest in Online Only games.. next thing they are back supporting BIS making OFP.. Single player, and small network games are much more fun than internet games, because you don't get the ASSholes and idiots stuffing around in them.

The Lynx is fairly cool... but what's the Puma?

Brings back memories of 'Tour of Duty' the point man walking through a forest... A gunshot... The pointman down... other soldiers scrambling for cover as machine gun fire rakes through them.... *Sighs contently*

I could be wrong in this respect... but didn't the Soviets concentrate on making several varieties of the same helicopters to save production costs etc.?

There are scripts available to make choppers do that, but unless you want the chopper to move to each of the waypoints in order... ie. pickup from waypoint one. Return home. Waypoint 2... return home... waypoint 3 home... You can't do it with wayppints.

Try deleting it all together and creating a new one in the south. If that doesn't fix it, you know that moving it didn't cause the problem. Other than that, all I can suggest (sorry) is checking there are NO western units straying into the trigger, and that it is set to West - Present, and not to West - Not present or such.
