Does anyone know if there's a way to make sitting AI? I'm making a World War I trench warfare map and I want the player to walk through the trenches and see AI sitting down and stuff. Can anyone help me?

Do you mean like the wounded tutorial here http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-358.html

Umm.. I was kind of thinking like soldiers just sitting on a bench or something before going over the top. I was imagining soldiers sitting naturally and not jerking in pain...

thanks though

Well I made some guys that sit, not sure it is the right way but hey it works.

Here is what I did:

Add an AI to you map and give him a targetname.

I named mine James so that would be:

key:targetname
value:James

That is it for the mapping part although you will have to ajust the position of the player sometimes so he is no floating and make it look good.

Now for the script:

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_anim;

#using_animtree("generic_human");
main()
{
maps\_load::main();
maps\mymapname_anim::main();

level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon ("m1garand");
level.player giveWeapon ("colt");
level.player giveWeapon ("fraggrenade");
level.player switchToWeapon ("m1garand");

level.James = getent("James", "targetname");
level.James.animname = "James";



thread sit();
}
sit()
{


level.James anim_single_solo(level.James, "sitting");
}

Than make an mymapname_anim.gsc and place this inside:

#using_animtree("generic_human");
main()
{

			
level.scr_anim["James"]["sitting"]						= %halftrack_guy05_idle;
                                                                                                         
}

If you want to add multiple guys sitting it works off the same principles. Add some AI and give them all different targetnames. I chose to name mine sitting_guy, James, and Hathcock. Than as before you are done with the mapping part.

Now for the script, hopefully it will work for you.

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_anim;

#using_animtree("generic_human");
main()
{
maps\_load::main();
maps\mymapname_anim::main();

level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon ("enfield");
level.player switchToWeapon ("enfield");

level.James = getent("James", "targetname");
level.James.animname = "James";

level.sitting_guy = getent("sitting_guy", "targetname");
level.sitting_guy.animname = "sitting_guy";

level.Hathcock = getent("Hathcock", "targetname");
level.Hathcock.animname = "Hathcock";

thread sit();

thread sit2();

thread sit3();

}
sit()
{

level.James anim_single_solo(level.James, "sitting");
}

sit2()
{

level.sitting_guy thread maps\_anim::anim_loop_solo (level.sitting_guy, "sit", undefined , "stop", undefined, undefined);
}

sit3()
{

level.Hathcock thread maps\_anim::anim_loop_solo (level.Hathcock, "rest", undefined , "stop", undefined, undefined);

}

Now make a mymapname_anim.gsc and place this inside:

#using_animtree("generic_human");
main()
{

			
level.scr_anim["sitting_guy"]["sit"][0]						= (%eldaba_tired_idleB);
level.scr_anim["James"]["sitting"]						= %halftrack_guy05_idle;
level.scr_anim["Hathcock"]["rest"][0]                                                                                                                        = %halftrack_guy04_idle;
}

That should be it,here is a picture of what it looks like when it is done:

I tried this but cant seem to get it to work. there seems to be a script error when i load the map. but all the line parameteres are correct.
Can anyone help me.

#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_anim;
#using_animtree("generic_human");

main()
{
maps\_load::main();
maps\wint_anim::main();
maps\wint_fx::main();

setCullFog(0, 20000, 0.8, 0.8, 0.8, 0); //Fog
setExpFog(0.00050, .60, .60, .60, 3);

level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon ("svt40");
level.player giveWeapon ("luger");
level.player giveWeapon ("fraggrenade");
level.player switchToWeapon ("svt40");

level.James = getent("James", "targetname");
level.James.animname = "James";

thread sit();

}

sit()

{

level.James anim_single_solo(level.James, "sitting");

}



#using_animtree("generic_human");
main()
{

level.scr_anim["James"]["sitting"][0]
= %halftrack_guy05_idle;

}

Well it looks to me like you didn't make a anim.gsc.

Make a file called mymapname.gsc and place this code in it.

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_anim;

#using_animtree("generic_human");

main()
{
maps\_load::main();
maps\wint_anim::main();
maps\wint_fx::main();

setCullFog(0, 20000, 0.8, 0.8, 0.8, 0); //Fog 
setExpFog(0.00050, .60, .60, .60, 3);

level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon ("svt40");
level.player giveWeapon ("luger");
level.player giveWeapon ("fraggrenade");
level.player switchToWeapon ("svt40");

level.James = getent("James", "targetname");
level.James.animname = "James";

thread sit();

}

sit()

{

level.James anim_single_solo(level.James, "sitting");

}

Now make a mymapname_anim.gsc and place this code in it.

#using_animtree("generic_human");
main()
{

level.scr_anim["James"]["sitting"][0] 
= %halftrack_guy05_idle;

}

If that doesn't work try typing +set developer 1 into you COD2 shotcut target and it will give you a better description of the error.

I checked the console for the error that it gives me and here it is:

******* script runtime error *******

ca anyone tell me the porblem?? I am not to familiar with the scripting yet, but in the mean time i will try to solve it on my own but could use some help. thanks.

Is that your whole script you posted? Sorry I am not much help, I am only starting to grasp scripting a little.

Besides the script, do I have to do anything in radiant like add a node of scripted thing and connect it to the actor or something???

You shouldn't have to add anything to the actors in the map except a targetname. If you Private Message me your email or post it here I will send you a test map I made for you to look at if that will help you at all.
