[How to drag a unit from the mission]

Then I suppose you could use setDamage on the player you want to drag.

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setDamage

?

supose but im useing the accachto command so i dont see why they would need to be damaged? im not makeing then unconciouse at all :/....

unless an unconciouse player becomes an object lmao.

this really sucks

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

I think the way forward would be to firstly link the wounded soldier & the soldier dragging him to the First Aid modules then use a (possibly) yet to be discovered action command for the AI to drag or carry him (if there is such a command).

The magic number to have a First Aid Linked Person rolling round on the floor is "this setdammage 0.89", as discovered by someone on the forums (sorry can't remember who).

James

is that for me?

im not trying to carry an hurt ai im trying to drag one on full life but i havee arrested them.

[How to drag a unit from the mission]

K its massive for a post probably but here it is, where 'sarPilot' is the unit name of the AI who gets put unconscious and the player carries out.

sarPilot setCaptive true; sarPilot disableAI "ANIM";
sarPilot setHit ["body",0.7]; sarPilot setHit ["legs",0.9];
sarPilot setHit ["arms",0.6]; sarPilot setHit ["head_hit",0.3];
sarPilot setVariable ["BIS_noCoreConversations", true, true];

injuredAnim = sarPilot spawn {
  _this switchMove "AinjPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon";
 // waitUntil{!medicTreatingCaptive};
  _this setVariable ["BIS_IS_inAgony",true];
  _this setVariable ["BIS_IS_agonyDam",0,true];
  waitUntil{
     if(_this getVariable "BIS_IS_inAgony")then{_this setVariable ["BIS_IS_inAgony",true]};
     !(alive _this)
  };
  _this setVariable ["BIS_IS_inAgony",false,true];
};
captiveShowSignsOfLife = sarPilot spawn {
  _gestures = ["GestureSpasm0Weak","GestureSpasm1Weak","GestureSpasm2Weak","GestureSpasm3Weak","GestureSpasm4Weak","GestureSpasm6Weak"];
  _timer = 0;
  waitUntil{
     if(animationState _this != "AinjPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon")then{
        _this playActionNow "GestureNod";
        waitUntil{!(alive _this) || (animationState _this == "AinjPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon") || (animationState _this == "AinjPfalMstpSnonWnonDnon_carried_down")};
        if(animationState _this == "AinjPfalMstpSnonWnonDnon_carried_down")then{
           _this playMoveNow "AinjPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon";
           waitUntil{animationState _this == "AinjPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon"}
        };
        _timer = 0
     };
     if(_timer <= 0 && alive _this)then{
        _gesture = _gestures select (floor random 6);
        _this playAction _gesture;
        _timer = 120
     }; 
     sleep 0.5; 
     _timer = _timer - 0.5; 
     !(alive _this)
  };
  _this playActionNow "GestureNod";
  _this setHit ["head_hit",1];
};

This just make him unconscious, stops him from talking, makes the player unable to heal him, and allows you to drag/carry.

hey im trying to get a guy to drag a conciouse unit..."he has been arrested and in the sqf before this is lying down faceing th floor with hands behind back and an action to drag...can u spot a mistake?

[draging an ai and puttog them in to cargo and pulling them from cargo]

i have an arrest script that end up with the suspect face down on the ground with hands behind back...

does anyoen know a script i could use to drag or pick them up (switchmove) to them standing with hands behind back and attch them to _player or _ unit then be able to drop them wich would put them back to the original position or to anyone like sitting with hands behind back?

and then if they are picked up near a vehicel u can load them in to cargo?

ive asked a few people who have scripts with similar stuff but have not yet recived an email back...if i do ill post it here.

cheers

[BAF ied trigger / help with arrest script / lift script anyone?]

Don't know if this will help but you could just place a trigger wit activation BLUFOR, the in the "on act" box place

bomb="Bo_MK82" createVehicle (getPos IED)

that will make the object named IED (or whatever in place of IED) explode when a BLUFOR unit enters the trigger radius. It can be used multiple times as long as there is a seperate trigger and name for each item you want to explode.

that does sound usful...the only thing now is how to put the ied in the editor..

this is what it looks like in the ied creator script that places them in game (wich works...but no explosion)..

im looking to be able to place these ied from baff and an engerneer to be able to disarm as they can..but for if people walk right over them they will explode....thats the reason.

"west" is the side the IED will be triggered for. You can use "east" or "resistance" as well.

Civilian or anyone will NOT work!!!

In the script itself you can edit these areas:

======IED locations======

Specify below all marker names you have added (you need to use empty markers!!!) to your mission as to be a possible IED!

For example:

_iedarray = ["ied1","ied2","ied3","ied4","ied5"]

======IED types======

Add all possible ied's you want the script to choose from. For now an IED can only be

an object type (in the editor choose empty ---> objects!!!!)

Please note that wrecks can not be destroyed by the player cause they are wrecked already. So if you ;add wrecks to this array the players cant do anything to destroy those!

For example:

_spawnunit = ["BAF_ied_v1","BAF_ied_v2","BAF_ied_v3","M113Wreck","hiluxWreck"]

======IED ordinance types======

Here you can specify what type(s) of ammo you want the script to select from to be used as the explosives.

For example:

GRF_ammo_array = ["Sh_125_HE","Bo_GBU12_LGB","Sh_122_HE","Sh_125_HE","Sh_122_HE","Sh_122_HE"]

======IED radius======

Here you can specify at what distance (in meters) a created IED should explode.

For example:

_radius = 10

======IED deactivation======

If you want to allow the player to be able to shoot/destroy suspected IED's set this value to true.

If you dont want the player to be able to shoot/destroy IED's set this to false.

Please keep in mind pallets and wrecks (and maybe other objects I missed/didnt try) can NOT be ;destroyed since they dont register of being hit (a wreck is already destroyed and pallets dont explode right?)

Like this:

_deactivation = true

or

_deactivation = false

[BAF ied trigger / help with arrest script / lift script anyone?]

well ive used the old "GRF_iedcreator" and replaced the items in there with the mag mane "BAF_ied_v1" and in the game it will spawn the ied so i can see it it just then does not explode...were as if you place an object such as "explosives" or any small object event a can or the loud speakers, it will still spawn the explosives but they will explode (as the script tells you it will).

i was just wondering if it could be the fact it was a mag or something eles and if there was a way about this.....

i dont like ai joining groups i want the mission to feel very hands on...i have been experimenting with the norin revive wich has a drag body function. and a load in and out of cargo function...but its really complicated to copy and remove the unconciouse bt lol.

i am extremly greatful for your help though :), the stuff i have made is still all usable i just wanted to add some gritty realism to it lol.

........................................................................................................

i think ill go back to using barrels and containers for ied's (or use the ai) and keep the teleport function for the arrest then.

they work just not very realistic lol.

update:

i dont need a lift one i have made one my self :).

also i wanted to remove all militia and just have standard takistan units....maybe make the takistan have a main base were its units spawn and then move on from there?.

hey i am working on a arrest script....

i can get to the point were my detained person is on the floor face down but i now want to drage them (maybe have them standing hands behind back attached to a player who has hands holding them or something like they are holding their cuffs.

and a function to put them down....any help?
