Swimming script

[Tipigi]

I'm not sure if anyone has done it yet, if so I apologize.  Maybe use the crawling animation and keep the player just above water level to keep him from dying.  It would be great on those SEAL, spec ops, missions.  Can it be done?  

[Josef]

Dunno, but ive been thinking about this too.

[Terame]

Yes - prhaps only works if only a light weapon, etc.

M60 would be hard to justify - they're heavy suckers!

Great idea

 :gunman: o my f***ing god you guys!  Making scripts has nothing to do with weight or anything like that.  You would have to implement some kind of setpos script and maybe make a animation to swim also.  I think it would be pretty hard to make a script like this because believe it or not, when you go underwater in ofp there are still mountains and you would have to calculate the right height to be setposed to.  And besides, people can still see you while you are underwater!  Believe me, I've tryed this wetsuit addon! :gunman:

Relax Sniper! Sheesh. It's a question posed in a forum for people who are not script writers - posing ideas for those that can.

Keep your shirt on eh? You mention "guys" I was the only one that mentioned weight so address it to me eh? The reason I mentioned this was more so that anyone out may consider that the weapon used be a factor.

I learned a long time ago that there are no bad ideas, just those that can't be applied.

Using a Setpos loop to keep a dude at a certain height seems to have LOTS of problems:

1. If it loops too quickly the dude keeps getting higher
2. If it loops too slowly the dude gets lower
3. You can't move.  You can drive a car while its being setpos'ed, but try with a man and he stays put

When you use flyinheight it keep you at the same height over water...

Why not just go 1 m UNDER the water?

Hi all

This is rehashing an old problem in OFP. The man Class can not float.

Most of us have tried.

Scripting it by setpos is judery at the best and no AI travel is possible as the AI knows water drowns Man class so they sit in the corner and cower muttering "water is BAD".

The only solution is an addon.

Only certain vehicles can float Ship, IFVs in the Tank class and If Car property Canfloat is set to true cars but the latter have several AI problems in that they fear water.

The next problem is no visual representation of below the water so an animation is wasted no one sees it. A head bobing at the surface is sufficient.

Then there is the problem of ship and AFV wakes.

Ship wakes are too big so ignore them.

AFV wakes look similar to scuba bubles a bit frothy though.

Cars have no wakes but AI problems abound and are intermitent so are very frustrating.

So the solution is then a diver addon. This is what we are working on at the CoC. We have good working models. With several dive rigs we are currently dealing with animation issues and for getting in and out of the wetsuits and diving rigs.

The team at CoC are in colaberation with Colonel Klink. I do not wish to give release date but we are very advanced along the project and as I said we have working systems and even some missions where we test it.
