Stop control and Join

[max_killer_payne]

How in a mission say Sui's amazin Airbourne in the mission there were cutscences in which the player lost control of their character and the character could be told to move in a scipt during a cutscence then at the end control is given back to the player, also how would you make 1 man join a squad when they got near him??

I take it you are referring to the scene at the rendevous point, where the player is talking to his captain?

In that scene the player gets setpos'ed, then setdir'ed to face the Captain. I then use a playmove to get him to shoulder his weapon.

Other than that, there wasn't any movement on the player's part... it was all a cunning illusion...

I can help w/ a few....

To disable player control:

disableUserInput=False

(alternately, TRUE enables it)

To make 1 man join a squad:

[UnitName] join OtherGroupName

Obviously, substitute the units name for "UnitName" and the group you wish the unit to join for "OtherGroupName". Make sure you keep the "[]" around the unit name.

Got it. Cheers CrashDome. And Sui please tell me there is a sequel to Facile ground coming out soon??

/pimp mode on

Facile Ground will be out once I get all the voice files and finish the outro (which could take a while I'm afraid...)

The sequel to Facile Ground is about half way to beta stage... I've hit a bit of a snag and have to re-design a defensive position

Once I do that, I need to write a couple of plot branches and tidy it up (briefing/Overview/dialog etc.) and it should be done. May be a few months still though... I'm currently pretty busy with real life...

I'm stoked that someone is actually interested though... thanks ;D ;D

Intrested? Its one of the missions on my wishlist. Airbourne was superb in fact I still play it now. Facile ground is nothin short of stunnin. And I cant wait for another Sui classic.
