get the KIAs into the Humvee...

[SEAL84]

So I was playing an urban ambush mission on Tonal and I saw two of my squaddies laying facedown in pools of their own blood out in the middle of the street.  As useless as they often are, I still felt bad just leaving them there :'(

You never just leave your KIAs if you have any chance to get them out of there, and I had two perfectly good Humvees, so I started toying with the idea of a script that would move guys into the vehicles once things had settled down.

I soon found that the game refuses to moveincargo guys after it's been reported that they're dead over the radio.  

I'm curious to see if anyone has any ideas on how you could script a little scene in which your able-bodied loons "move" their dead pals into a vehicle - you know, with a few animations thrown in for eye candy.

Just wondering, really.

Guilty conscious, eh?

Fiddle around with this script, that should help.

My idea is that you could detect if someone died and add an action to attach them to a vehicle of your choice, you could set them in a certain animation, like sitting or something (Not sure if possible when dead).

It'd be a little tricky, I suppose, but I should be possible. Then again, I'm no great shakes at advanced scripting so there you are.

It is possible, I cannot remember how but I've shot an officer and he went into the sitdown animation. I've got lots of spare time today, so I'll see if i can find out how to do it.

No, its not possible. Sorry.

Hello,

i already did this script, or actually it is a set of scripts:
I included it in my latest mission. (can be found in the Beta Missions forum)

If you unpbo it i think you can use that also for your mission.
In case of problems you can send me a message.

(Actual i do a trick: I create a unit that looks like the dead unit. Teleport the dead unit far away. Move the clone in the vehicle and let him play dead. This avoids a lot of problems in the handling of dead units.)
