Captive won't stand up+disable keyboard?

Alternatively, just export the mission file and camera scripts as a single player mission, so people could load it as a single player mission to watch it.  

It would require them actually having flashpoint though..

You can get them to smile and sing.  It's a riot.  A friend and I are going to clean it up over the weekend and I'll post it for fun.

As regards the problem with the player moving when he wants to use the radio...
How about the same animation that's used when you Heal at medic?
(I'm not sure what the animation IS or anything though - it might be in the comman reference)

But you can't move whilst you're being healed, but you can still look around (plus you're in the kneeling position so you dont have to keep standing up to be shot whiles you call for backup!)

Just an idea - don't know if it's any good or not...?

Anyway... Singing soldiers - how about a barbershop quartet?
No - there was only the three of them... The three tenors...? ;P

Dan ;D

I was thinking about the healing animation too.  But I thought it was just in the game.  I was not sure you could get to it.


And I'll add a forth singer.  Maybe a Choir. :wow:   ;D

Hmmm healing animation... I think it might be in the animation list somewhere, I'll have to try it...

As for shooting the pilots out as they bail Gary, surely thats far more morbid than just killing them behind the scenes?... I think I'll go with Knut's door locking technique.  Such a simple and elegant solution.  

I'm not sure my soldiers could deal with the mental trauma of watching a parachuting pilot gracefully descending via his parachute and then collecting a round from some VC sharpshooter.  Of course locking the doors of the chopper might not do their mental state much good either if the pilot managed to get a radio message out before he carked it.  

"OMG Jim, someones locked the doors!!! What's wrong with those stupid aircraft mechanics!!! We can't get out,  we're gonna die!! arghhh..."

Oh and speaking of slack soldiers lying down, I've just discovered that when you set a soldeir to SetUnitPos "UP", he'll stay standing up even when he's dead! Now thats what I call commitment.  It certainly leads to some interesting moments in my mission when the happily rescued POW says: "Boy am I glad to see you guys" and promtly falls over dead.

Singing soldiers? I'd watch that for a dollar. What are they singing anyways?

LoL!...

I thought Vietcong was a peice of sh!t. I found the demo last night though and it was so~so (then again I thought MoHAA's graphics looked slow at first :p ). Is it worth buying?. I thought it was novel that I actualy NEEDED the pointman to find my way around! A first! ......

A buddy and I who play guitar for my church are making the sone.  It may be Amazing Grace.

And the locked door has been done in every old James Dean movie as they were playing "chicken" with their cars near the cliffs.

And speaking of cliffs.  The second map from the top Maldon???  Has some pretty cool cliffs.  But I walked down them and into the water
