prevent unit to follow group leader action

[juxie]

Everytime the unit from a group respawn, it will follow the action that the group leader does.
For example, if leader prone, unit will also prone.
I am trying to prevent this to happen.

Any idea how it can be done?

[Kammak]

This is controlled by the "setUnitPos" command.  It defaults to the string "AUTO", which means the AI will follow the leader's lead.

It accepts "DOWN" and "UP" as well.

Setting it to UP will keep the AI from going prone.
ex:

guy setUnitPos "UP"


where guy is a unit or variable for a unit.

hmmm... it doesn't seem to work.
weird

any other idea?

[Tyger]

you have named the soldier, haven't you?

if you haven't then it won't work. If you want to do it to any unit w/o a name, then you have to type

Code: [Select]

this setUnitPos "AUTO"

[juxie]

weird...... all suggested doesn't seem to work  

I am trying to make my soldier move after respawn.
I have a respawn script.
I embedded the suggested script into my respawn script.
However, it doesn't work.

Please help.

Thank you.

It might help if you actually posted the relevant code.

That way, we might see where it is going wrong.

?_unit hasweapon (primaryweapon _unit):_hasrifle = true;_prigun = primaryweapon _unit;goto _return
_hasrifle = false
goto _return

I actually tried to add the codes below into "waitforlife" or "respawnloop":

Code: [Select]

_unit setUnitPos "UP"
_unit doMove getMarkerPos "aMarker"
the weird thing is I realised that these codes doesn't take effect at all
Please help
Thank you
