How I force the AI to put a mine?

[bardosy]

I know how could I force the AI to put a pipebomb:

Code: [Select]

unitname Fire ["pipebombmuzzle", "pipebombmuzzle", "pipebomb"];
but how could I force the AI to put a mine?

I tried these:

Code: [Select]

unitname Fire ["minemuzzle", "minemuzzle", "MineE"];

unitname Fire ["put", "minemuzzle", "MineE"];

unitname Fire ["put", "MineE"];

but didn't work...

Try plain old Mine........or.....failing that MineMine.

I would try but , I'm a little busy right now.

It's not too realistic in ArmA, but Mine and MineMine explode only by OPFOR. If you put Mine or MineMine and get in an Abrams, you can drive through and back on the mine safely. I want use MineE, because I want stop a BLUEFOR armor.

Code: [Select]

unitname fire "MineEMuzzle"or

Code: [Select]

unitname fire ["MineEMuzzle","MineEMuzzle"]
The problem is that the unit will not play the anim for putting the mine, the mine just appears on the ground..
Me thinks a bug

You could always simulate it with playmove or switchmove

Yes, but the AI should do it automaticly.
I see no reason what so ever why it shouldn't..

It's not a bug; it's a feature!  Exactly the same feature as in OFP. Think of all the freedom it gives you to play any animation you want whilest your AI places a mine!!! AWESOME!

Sorry for digging this up.

When I use the syntax above to get an AI unit to place a mine, he doesn't.

Has the command been changed in a patch?

[Spooner]

Both of the suggestions made by h- work fine for me.

[The-Architect]

That is odd.

I am using the VTE mod however and I am using removemagazine commands to make space in the inventory and adding the mine magazine after that. I'll try again later.

[Spooner]

Try using a regular BIS mine first (this addMagazine "mine"; this fire "MineMuzzle") and see if that works. If it does, then you are probably trying to use the wrong muzzle name for the 3rd party mine you want.

[The-Architect]

Ok, I got it working with a VTE Engineer.

The problem must have been something to do with the way I added the weapon (BIS MineE) to the init line. Strange.
