No camera on dead soldiers

[pazuzu]

Hi, I'm making an outro where all surviving units at the end of mission are shown one by one saluting or doing some other effect.

My problem is the dead units are being shown too with an error and I dont know how to bypass them so the camera just goes straight to the living units.

Here is my script:


enableradio false
TitleCut ["","BLACK OUT",10]

_cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_cam cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]

Hey pazuzu,

I've written a couple of these myself too. I don't have time to go into your script right now but maybe you can get a few pointers from my latest outro script.



titlecut ["","black out",3]
~3
0 fademusic 0
4 fademusic 0.5
playMusic ["FDFairut_tiennayttaja",25]

_units = units rgrp1
_counter = -1
_max = (count _units) -1

_cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_cam cameraeffect ["internal","back"]

_cam camsettarget m21
_cam camsetrelpos [50,100,40]
_cam camcommit 0
titlecut ["Mission Complete","black in",3]
~6
titlecut ["","black out",2]
~2

#loop
_counter = _counter +1
(_units select _counter) switchmove "EffectStandSalute"
~1
_cam camsettarget (_units select _counter)
_cam camsetrelpos [1,1,1]
_cam camcommit 0
titlecut ["","black in",0.5]
~1
titleText [format ["\n%1",name (_units select _counter)],"PLAIN DOWN"]
~2
titletext ["\n\n ","plain down"]
titlecut ["","black out",0.5]
?_counter != _max: goto "loop"

#end
~1
7 fademusic 0
_cam camsettarget m21
_cam camsetrelpos [-50,-100,40]
_cam camcommit 0
titlecut ["","black in",3]
titleRsc ["ofptf","plain"]
~6
titlecut ["","black out",2]
~2
_cam cameraeffect ["terminate", "back"]
camdestroy _cam

end=true
exit

Thanks for replying.


I'm not sure what to do with your script. I tried it but I cant get it to do what I want...

I've got 12 units & I want the end cutscene to go to each surviving soldier & display their names & each soldier does some kind of playmove like saluting or sitting down. I can get that much done in the script but I dont know how to get camera to skip over dead units & go to the next living unit.

This is a coop mission.

Thanks for the help.
