SPON Scuba v0.1.0 (DO NOT SUBMIT)

[Spooner]

I've only tried the scripted techniques so far. We've been discussing ways of getting around the MP issues for a few days, but haven't got around to the effort of testing any of them. Frankly, they involve config and animations and other things I know other people know more about than what I do...

What we really need is a setPosLocal command

[Spooner]

For those interested in Gnat's work on making an addon-based scuba model which doesn't have the same MP limitations as this simple script-based system (Still very much a proof-of-concept though), he has started a discussion on the BIS forums.

is there a means of stopping the swim anims kicking in?

many thanks

[Spooner]

I've tried, but the only way to stay out of swim is to give the player a new anim every frame and that means the player will stay in a static position rather than animating through the phases. I'm pretty sure that you need to use the technique that Gnat used for his addon-based solution to overcome this issue.

Has there been any update for this spooner? I would really like to implement this into a mission. Hope you aint to busy fighting the ArmA's IMPOSSIBLE crew.

[Spooner]

Yeah, I've been busy working on some things even more impossible than scuba-diving

I have made a significant update to this in my WIP version, but, unfortunately, it causes ArmA to crash erratically (by crash I mean core dump, not a nice forced closedown with friendly error messages). I just haven't had the time and willpower to do the messy work required to fix this sort of problem.
