Snipers

[RTechnix]

Working on some stuff and need some help with making it feel more realistic.  I need snipers to...well snipe, but they seem very unobservant unless your firing at them.  So any good scripts or something to work this out?  thanks

I searched the Editors Depot for less than 3 minutes and found your answer :-\.  Just search!!!  Anyway, here is your answer:
AI Enchancer v1.1, by Bremmer

Also, these 2 scripts sound good for a sniper mission as well:
Sniper Script, by Pica
A little script which will make a sniper move between positions after each shot. Its good for keeping the player on his toes.
Tracking Script, by Bulletmarket
This script allows you specify a unit to be "tracked" or followed by another unit

I've seen the first link you had before.  It doesnt say anything about snipers =\  The other two are useful too but I need some things for sniping instead of chasing.  They won't really notice and take aim of you if youre pretty far away.  I know there use to be a script for a sniper to automatically know your location and stuff but I dunno where it disappeared to.

Or maybe those work for that too.  I havent really tried any of them out yet.

well, you can also put a few snipers on the map,
maybe set their "placement radius" to 150 or alike
and then add some triggers... stuff like:

cond:
player distance sniper1 < 200

on activ:
sniper1 dofire player

  oh, and put this in teir INIT field :

dostop this; this setUnitPos "Down"

oo, that might work.  Thanks

Don't forget to RAISE the snipers' skill (if you didn't it before... ;D).

Another good thing to think about using is the "knowsabout" command.

Check the command reference for details, but it essentially makes the unit aware of the other specified unit.   ;D
