problem with cutscene, and getting a unit to shoot an object

[Artak]

My first post has instructions on how to find out the string name of the springfield. You don't need the addon's weapon list for this.

well, my pc was fooked by a virus yesterday so i had to re-format it, and guess what? i lot the mission fiel, and just about everyother file on my pc lol.

so i guess there is no need for this thread as i dont have the mission anymore, shame it was pretty damn good at the fighting bits.

Sorry to hear about virus ThEoNeAnDoNlY, but thought id post anyway for anyone interested

------------------------------


What Artak said whould work. I had a similar cutscene and found an easy way to get around the problem.

; make him watch target

Unit Dowatch Target
*
;Then fire
Unit fire [M16]
**

-------------------------------
However when using Fire commadn AI tends to point upwards before firing.
Therefore its necesarry for visual purposes to use an animation so thats hes not moving.
example: insert      Unit Switchmove "EffectStandStill"      at *
So he wont move weapon, then      Unit Switchmove "EffectStand"   at ** to return him to normal stance if u want to make him normal again.

If you want the AI to fire prone insert this at the start

Unit setpos "Down"

and substitute the relevant anims in e.g "Lying" - found in the Command Reference.      

^if it doesnt make sense ( i seldom do) i can send you an example if your desperate
