Placing units in buildings?
« on: 13 Dec 2004, 08:32:20 »
I want to put a enemy soldier in a window to snipe at the players. i have only got this working if the house has a hole in the roof just above the spot i want the sniper to be at. Can i get a unit to spawn inside a regular house?

You can place the sniper on the grey square of the building, and put

this setpos [(GetPos this select 0), (GetPos this select 1), 13]

and change the 13 higher or lower until the player is at the right height to be looking out of the window  ;)

this setpos ((object XXXXX) buildingPos 1)

xxxxx is where you put the id #

buildingPos # : There are usually multiple places a unit can be placed in the building so try changing the number.

Placing units in buildings can be very annoying.

AI can move through walls so be very careful where you place them.
The last thing a playerwants to see is an AK pointing at them through a wall. The AI can shoot you but you can't shoot the AI. Very annoying.

disableai "move" is a useful command to stop them playing around in there
