playmove command

[gadolinite]

  :oHow come the soldier I script to use the playmove command does not play the move?

 :beat:It may be that I do not know the actual purpose of this command and its situation where appropiate.

I just use the switchmove command for cutscene purposes.

thanks for the  :help:

Hi

Some of the switchMove and playMove commands need the unit to be in safe or combat mode sow use the line: unitname setBehaviour "combat"; before the switchMove/playMove command.

did that help you out?

Did u use the command in INIT-FIELD, SCRIPT or TRIGGER and what kind of playmove\switchmove command did u use? (what's it called)... If u typed it in the init-field, use a script or a trigger instead. Most switchmoves are allmost impossible to execute in the init-field ...

[gadolinite]

I used a script.  It's "EffectCombatStand"

[Dandy]

This command will keep the soldier to stand in combat untill he dies or gets shot in the leg:

unitname setBehaviour "Combat";unitname setUnitPos "up";unitname switchMove "EffectCombatStand";

@Bizon
You think sow :-\ I realy got to call Jossi and see if he has got any new movies for me. ;D

@gadolinite
hmm... what exactly do you want the soldier to do?  :-\ and is the script being activated

[gadolinite]

I want the soldier to stand up when he is sitting, and then put his hands on top of his head.  I want him to play the move, not shoot up, (a symptom of the swithcmove command) so therefore a smooth transition from sitting to standing, and then the hands.  

 :PMore human like

Thanks

The official missions seemed to be able to do this ok

[Burn]

try this if u want to have the loon sitting on a chair and stand up:
loon switchMove "FXSitHandsOnTable"
~5
loon switchMove "FXFromTable"
~4
loon switchMove "FXStandSurUniv"

try this if u want to have the loon sitting on the ground and stand up:

loon switchMove "EffectStandSitDown"
~5
loon switchMove "Fxstand"
~4
loon switchMove "FXStandSurUniv"

was that what u where after m8?!

[gadolinite]

what I was after was putting the hands on top of the head

[Dandy]

loon switchMove "FXStandSurUniv" = loon switchMove "FXWomanSur"
