which Behaviour is best for doFire?

[Hauk]

Hey guys,

heres the code before i explain

Code: [Select]

officer1 setCombatMode "RED"

man3 setCaptive false

[] exec "shoot.sqs"
shoot.sqs is this

Code: [Select]

_officer1 = _this select 0
_man3 = 1

officer1 dofire man3

exit
Here's the problem. I have the shoot.sqs being ran in another script which is fine, but what the officer does is run back about 15 metres then turns and shoots the civilian. Is there any way of just making him shoot the civilian standing still? Like an old style execution.

Thanks for the help  ;D

I need something like this too, though I have no idea how to do it - sorry.

If anyone answering can add a decent code snippet to use I'd be grateful too.

[bedges]

m'kay, well looking at the script i'm not sure i understand...

Code: [Select]

officer1 setCombatMode "RED"

man3 setCaptive false

[] exec "shoot.sqs"
is fine, but then in 'shoot.sqs'

Code: [Select]

_officer1 = _this select 0
is not going to yield anything. i also don't understand the '_man3 = 1' bit.

if you make 'shoot.sqs' like the following, it should work, called by [officer1] exec "shoot.sqs"

Code: [Select]

_shooter = _this select 0

_shooter dotarget man3
_shooter dofire man3

exit

[Hauk]

i tried what you said, but still he stands in front of "man3" and refuses to shoot him!!?  

Code: [Select]

_officer1 = _this select 0

_officer1 dotarget man3
_officer1 dofire man3

exit
thats what you told me to put in, and in another script i have [officer1] exec "shoot.sqs". its crazy, he refuses to shoot!

Thanks for helping!!

Hauk

[bedges]

see attached. go through your own situation and check everything bit for bit - make sure the names are accurate, all that

[Hauk]

Okay I'm totally at a loss. He're is the ENTIRE CUTSCENE code for the intro for Operation Run Off.

"Officer1" wont' "shoot man3" even after using bedges script. His test mission worked fine, but when i incorporated it into my intro, i got squat, nada, nothing!

Argh! anyway, here's ALL the code, see if you can see any problems.

Code: [Select]

If you can see why he isn't shooting man3, i will do any amount of beta testing for you!!

Thx  

Hauk

[penguinman]

you could probably just give the officer a destroy waypoint and place it on the civilian, make a trigger and give it the "time setting" you want and sycronize it to the waypoint before the destroy waypoint

or you could use a trigger.

officername dofire civilianname

so if your officer was bob, and your civilian was jim

bob dofire jim

or if it really does not work

place the officer so he is facing the civilian, and in a trigger put

officername fire"weaponname"; civilianname setdammage 1

for weapon name use:
if its a handgun execution

if the officer is west

officername fire"Beretta"

if the officer is east

officername fire"tokarev"

[Hauk]

I see what you mean, but the waypoint and trigger countdown thing wouldn't really give me much control over the flow of events in the intro.
I know there's a way of doing it, its just i can't do it, and i'm really at a loss

If someone could rewrite the code above so that it all works together I'd greatly appreciate that!

Thanks for the help penguinman  

Hauk

[penguinman]

ok, this should work, no garentees though,

you had forgotten to add a "_" infront of one of your _officer1's and i aded somthing else to make sure he shoots him

[Dubieman]

I'm unsure if you are simply trying to get an eastie to fire on a civvie or what, but have you tried this?

Group civvie to a westie (colonel rank) and set the westie's probability or presesnce (near the bottom) to 0. That way the civvie will be viewed as a west side person so now put    this setcaptive true   in the civvie's init.

And for the Easties involved in the scene, if they get all alert and start lying down, then put  this setunitpos "UP" in their init lines. And set those with guns on their backs all the time to Careless.

Finally when you want the civvie to die simply setcaptive false him and make sure one of the easties has a gun out and tell them to dofire or they'll prolly attack by themselves.

So if you didn't do that before, its something to try. If you did do that, well.....  ;D

m'kay,  a few things i notice about this:

i had problems once (in the first mission i made) with making a firing squad use the weapon i wanted them to use. some put a satchel down, but pretty much none of them wanted to use their main weapons. they all got out their pistolas. if i took away the pistols, they refused to fire. this may be a range issue - if the target is a certain distance away, ai loons may want to use their main weapons, and in this case it has no ammo.

you may wish to put in

Code: [Select]

_officer1 selectweapon "tokarev"
after giving it to him, just so he knows.

Code: [Select]

_officer1 fire "tokarev"
i'm not sure that's going to do anything. it may be looking for a muzzle mode and all that.

Code: [Select]

_officer1 dofire target_name
will work - stick with that.

Code: [Select]

side man3 == west
i think i know what you're trying to do with that, but it won't work. when you declare a variable, you use one equals sign (=). if you want to check if two variables are equal, you use two (==). the command side cannot be used in this way.

otherwise the script is fine. keep at it - the satisfaction you'll feel when it finally decides to work is worth it, believe me

@GuiltyRoachkillar

What i'm trying to do is make the civilian execution cut scene in Operation Run Off run more smoothly, so i'm investigating differant ways around the first way i did it. I know its something to do with setBehaviour, but i just can't find it.  

@bedges

I'll put those changes in thanks ;D
