The time for "Action" has come! (Please do NOT post questions in this thread.)

i was just hoping that when the guy pulls out his gun he wouldn't be a captive anymore.  i was wondering if there were some way the ai would react that way to him pulling out his weapon and going from captive to not a captive but its just not possible with the current version of ofp it would seem.

To expand on an Action command Gumby posted

Name: STROKEGUN
Description: Caused unit to swing riffle like he his striking a target
Syntax: unit2 ACTION ["STROKEGUN", unit1]
Example:KLINK ACTION ["STROKEGUN", VLAD]
Notes: Unit1, or VLAD in the example, will swing the gun. Although the addition of unit2, or KLINK, from the example, would lead you to believe that VLAD would try and hit him. I have found that it has no relivance.

This is a very nice action and I would think that it would have a complimentry action which would be played by KLINK, and would make him act as if he got hit twice by a riffle. But I can not find it. If anyone has any ideas...
I could use it in an outro I'm writeing.

I FOUND ONE!


// deactivate a placed mine
foo action["deactivate mine",_unit,0,0,"Mine"]

// pick up a placed mine
foo action["take mine",_unit,0,0,"Mine"]


_unit = the unit which placed the mine

*The fired Eventhandler is needed to get the _mine itself (so you can have the soldier move to the mine first) and the person who placed the mine.

Someone in official forums asked if it could be done so I tried it - using the same syntax as the "take weapon" action - and it worked.\

At first I tried "deactivate" amd "take mine" but those didn't workso I just decided to try "take mine" and "deactivate mine" and it worked!

AFAIK you can't have soldiers pick up pre-placed mines (mines placed in the editor) because you need the person who laid the mine down.

I carn't belive I'm asking this but here goes.
I have a soldier named "man", I have a car named "veh"

All I want to do it on a trigger get the man in the car.
In the activation field I enterd :-

man action["getin",veh]

without the quotes but nothing  happens.
I tried it on a move and in script but still nothing.

I even tried it on another pc with no luck.
I thought I had all this sorted a while back but a month or two away and I'm lost again.

Help Plz?

[toadlife]

It's

object action ["get in",vehicle]

not

object action ["getin",vehicle]

[skid]

Thanks but it won't work the best I can get is:-

object action ["getin xxxx",vehicle]

xxxx has to be cargo,driver,commander or gunner.
just  object action ["get in",vehicle] does nothing
object action ["exit",vehicle] works though.

All so I need to be able to move units around within a vehicle I see the cammand "TO_Driver","TO_Gunner" but again I carn't work out the syntax.
I tried object action ["TO Driver",vehicle] but nothing.

[toadlife]

Just use this instead of fumbling with action command. Action commands should be used sparingly anyway.

unit assignas[driver,cargo,commander,gunner] vehicle
[unit] ordergetin true

[Sui]

// deactivate a placed mine
foo action["deactivate mine",_unit,0,0,"Mine"]

// pick up a placed mine
foo action["take mine",_unit,0,0,"Mine"]


_unit = the unit which placed the mine

Just note that the syntax:

unit action ["DEACTIVATE MINE"]

Will work provided the unit is at the position of the mine.

Something else to note... engineers can deactivate and take any mines they like... probably because they're engineers

Everyone else can only muck about with mines they've places themselves

Unit action ["NVGoggles"]

It toggles the night vision on or off.
It only works, effectivly, with the player. AI can choose the NV mode by themselves.

Cool!   Now i know why there are engineers in the game...  ;D
You learn something new everyday in ofp...a buddy of mine showed that you can actually take suicide with a m16 with 15-30 rounds by trying shoot your feet and spinning around in a circle  
maybe a god thing if you have gone M.I.A over some small unhabited island in multiplayer..
