If you use playmove "effectstandsitdown" the target unit has a habit of standing up again after a few seconds. I usually use this:

unitname switchmove "standsitdownstill"

This keeps the sitting but if they see danger they can't stand up again (switchmove keeps them in that position forever). To get around this do a switchmove stand in a trigger that detects whether or not the enemy has been spotted. Though this may not be necessary, depending on the situation.

hmm maybe a sticky "FAQ" would be more effective....im sure a lot of ppl hate searching for things, specially when theyre looking for something as general as "fire"

AAHHH!! Got LCD out on this one!!! you have to set their behaviour to "CARELESS" or "SAFE", for them to sit down.

P.S

What good would a sticky FAQ do, if people are so lazy that instead of spending 30sec's of their time actually searching for the answer :o, they wait 1-5 days for a reply on a new thread :hmm:?!?!

@OFPEC-Staff
IMHO the current FAQ is as good as it gets, keep up the good work :thumbsup:

Well if you want to put that in the init-field or in a trigger that would be true...
[size=3.5]but[/size][/i] if you put that in a script, you don't need to set their behaviour to "CARELESS" or "SAFE"... sooo thecnically you where wrong ;D :booty: :moon:

@ Bizon

what i meant was, for questions like "how do u make a unit crouch?/second floor of building/light a fire", wouldnt it be easier to have it all in one thread, seeing as though the answer is always the same. I mean, there must be hundreds of thread floating around with these questions.

Also, it wil be easier  when you search, becos all the hits would be in that one thread, whereas when you search normally you can get quite a few different hits, for instance the word "fire" could turn up in threads about lighting fires, or firing weapons etc etc

So you reason that instead of using a simple search function where inputing one or two keywords brings up a list of possible answers, it would be easier for people to read every post in a 35 page thread until they find their answer? ::)

Having said that, if you have a good idea on how we can improve our system, we're always happy to hear it.
Preferably in the OFPEC Comments forum, rather than general editing though ;)
