keep solders from going prone

[wiggum]

i was wondering if it is posible  to keep solders from going prone

[macguba]

loon1 setUnitPos "up"

Syntax not guaranteed.

[penguinman]

loon1 is the unit name right?

[oyman]

yes....and you could also just put in init field of soldier

Code: [Select]

this setunitpos "up"

[penguinman]

but will it keep them "up" even after they are fired upon because im making some wake island missions and its hard to make the japanese do a banzi charge if they keep going prone. i need them to run through the enemys fire suicidaly even if there comander is hit just like a real banzi charge. also have you seen any bayonet addons because that is one of the main weapons in a banzi charge?

[macguba]

Yes.

[The-Architect]

Try using this in their init field too,

this allowfleeing o

then they won't retreat.

[penguinman]

thx it works great but also is there any way to do a comand like that for the entire group. or do you have to do it 1 man at a time because i have a lot of groups, exactly 40 twelve man squads on each side fighting at once and it would take a lot of time to enter all those comands. also any word on a bayonet that you can add to any weapon thru a script or somthing and a way to make it stab.thankyou

[exigent]

Is there a way to make them go on there knees when there fired upon?

[Artak]

Good luck with the lag my friend  :thumbsup:

Anyway, if you'll take a look at the command reference you'll find a foreach command.
You can use it to give the same command to an array of units.
For example, you can write
"_x setunitpos {up}" foreach units group this
in every group leader's init field.

[penguinman]

thx  il use that. i dont get lag i have a super fast comp the mission works perfectly no lag at all. I only have some trouble with my sound system. It cant keep up with the constant firing.   Any word on a bayonet??? if not theres got to be a way to make one right? one that u can attach to any weapon downloaded or came with game??

[Tyger]

bout the bayonet,
I don't know where any are off hand, but ive seen a few
if u can't find one, ud have to make an addon, but ur probably not there yet...  

cheers

and oh, try this site, i think dats where i saw dem:

Hey,

I tried the charge thing a couple of weeks ago and the main problem is that once they are up and running ( taking fire from the enemy ) they stop and start shooting. They are there like sitting ducks.  If I put them on hold fire, however, they run through the fire but most of them die ( oh my, , before they get to the point when I say open fire.

What I want is that they keep running, shooting at the same moment, and that this would have a psychological impact on the enemy, who's morale would go down. Also, it would be cool if the soldiers where shouting HUUURRAAHH while charging

cheers

If you want running and shooting at the same time I suspect you'll have to make a custom animation.    At the very least.

Shouting hurrah is easy:  start with Bloodmixer's sound tutorial.

[Tomasz]

I always wanted to make a mission which would look like the assault on Foy in Ardennes from the Band of Brothers.

I think that the most important part as you said Macguba, would be to make the animations. The soldiers didnt run aiming infront like they do in OFP, but were holding the weapon perpendicular to their body in both hands, or just they held it in one hand.

Do you know any existing animations that have those elements?

How can you make a squad move together with enemy in sight. My main problem is that the leader gives orders to engage different soldiers and they just run away from the group to kill the target. I want all the squad to stick together, when charging and generally when moving.

thanks

Tomasz
