parkinson in chopper cargo
« on: 08 Feb 2003, 14:46:03 »
Hi,

Is there a way to stop the moves that a person in a chopper cargo does automatically?
Even after removing all his weapons and ordering him to stop he continues his random moves like he got parkinson desease or something (it really looks weard without weapon).
I even tried the switchMove "CargoVer1...CargoVer5", disableAI and setBehaviour "CARELESS" commands without any result.
I just want him to stand still while he is having a conversation with another lad in the chopper.

Thanks in advance

   Heh heh, I can't help ya fix it, but I can offer a way around it.

     You know the command, setmimic ? Well, perhaps you could use it, for example:

      In my map, UrbanSunday (Deals with the January 30th, 1972 Tradegy in Ireland) once you arrive on the Airport in Nogova, you board a bus, along with two other people. Once your on the bus, they start to chat, and you learn their lovely personalities...Heh heh....

       While I have the text changing at the bottom of the screen to say who's saying what, I applied "Facial Expressions" while they're sitting to tie down to what their saying.

      Using the "setmimic" command, you can make them show facial expressions, even while their on a bus, plane, chopper, or other-wise.

      Like I said before, I can't help you fix your problem, but I can offer a solution around it.  The Command Reference Description of "Setmimic" is provided below for your convienence:


unitName SetMimic "mimicType"

unitName is the name of the unit to modify.
mimicType is the type of facial expression. Valid values are :

"angry" - Angry look
"smile" - Happy look
"suprise" - Suprised look
"hurt" - Hurt look
"sad" - Sad look
"ironic" - Ironic look
"cynic" - Cynical look
"agresive" - Aggresive look (NOTE: The spelling is correct )
"normal" - Normal look  


    I hope I helped, and good luck!

thanks RunAwayScientist

but as you said it's not really what I was looking for.
No problem, I've got it working by putting the switchMove "CargoVer1" in a loop. I was afraid that he would be stucked in that position and not able to talk but it was not the case.

Thanks again
