VC Snipers

[HogRoot]

OK guys I need some help. I am making a mission where the guys in my unit will be on patrol along a certain path. What I want to do is is put some VC snipers up in the tops of the trees like they use to do in 'Nam. I am using this

Code: Select all

this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, 20]

And messing around with the height trying to get him to stay in the tree, but they always fall to the ground. Does anyone have a better way to accoplish this?

Thanks

I would guess he always drops to the ground from the tree as its not designed to be platform for AI to stand on.

Try putting him to prone position first, then do the stop move AI (I just cant remember the command now) and maybe he stays there then.

many structures are like that, you just slip out of it. Same thing when you try to land a chopper on some buildings. Happens often with ported objects from ofp to arma and I cant explain why:)

Rog with try that. I wish there was a code like what I am using that would make them stay at that heigth no matter if there was a platform or not.

Btw we do have in VTE the one tree with ladder on it, I did not place it on the WRP's (terrains) directly, but I'll make sure the tree will be on the mission editor so you can first place the tree and then your soldier in it.

Please remind me if after next update you dont see the sniper/ladder tree in mission editor

There is a small piece of pavement in the editor update 102 addon that you could setpos into the tree. It is big enough for a guy to stand on but not too big.

Try it out and see if it works for you.
