Firing Range......

[RedKnyte]

I've got a small porblem here.....I need to simulate a firing range. The thing is, I have setup a small firing range with 14 targets. Each target consists of one shooter.....of course all of the shooters are A.I controlled, but I can't get them to shoot at the targets, I thought of using the dofire syntax but to no avail, so, can anyone help me...

Cant be done without some working around.  The AI is a bit dense when it comes to those targets.

What you can do is get an addon by Tomb that will let you use the DoTarget, DoFire syntax.

Or if you want to do it another way, you can put in some cars, or M2's or some enemy object behind the targets that the AI can shoot at.  This works best as a cutscene though as the enemy objects are a bit obvious if not off camera.

maybe u could get the coords of the target, setpos an enemy soldier a couple of feet behind the target under the ground, name that soldier, then do the dofire on him, shouldnt die being under the ground if a round happens to get by target....ill do a test of it

Why not just make it simple? Use the "Destroy" command and use a script that makes the A.I. to stand still? I have no idea if this works :-\, but you can always try, right? :thumbsup:

I mean the "Destroy" Waypoint, sorry

Doesnt work.  If it were as easy as a WP then there would be no need for extra addons.

If it can't be done, why does the soldier shoot at the targets during the training in the 1985 campaign?

[icarus_uk]

Then in your infinite wisdom find a way.

Oh and no, the AI dont fire in a training mission, he just stands there.

Oh, okay, maybe my imagination had run wild during the range in the training mission (duh, why does it have to happen so fast), think I was inattentive at that time.....thx for the info anyway guys.......looks like I have to find a way myself..
