"lie down"

[007]

how can i make a unit "lie down"? i once heard something about some angle the unit stands at and i want to change that.

 

[crimson fire]

one way is altering the units animations and giving him an animation to make him lie on the floor.

 

[GhostThruster]

Go to Object Editor, find your unit, find these:
Art - Maximum Pitch Angle (degrees)
Art - Maximum Roll Angle (degrees)

Lie Down as in, soldiers doing it while intensive training ?

ah i found it again!

but i cant type in a negative number for the pitch angel ( am i right that in the object editor its that above the model?) but anyway it doesnt make any difference from 0 to 180. i also ticked the negative real values possible box in the preferences.

I think you have to hold shift when clicking on it or something.

 

[007]

no doesnt work either.

 

[FriXionX]

Sorry, i cant remember. try ctrl, or ctrl+shift when clicking on the option.

cant remember

Hold Shift - Enter/Double Click.

nothing works

Check File -> Preferences -> General -> Allow negative real values in the Object Editor

And you can also try to play their death animation and then set their animation speed to 0% (pause) when they look like laying down.

 

[007]

as i said before i allowed negative values.

and using the death animations would quite do what i want. most death animations contain a sound and there are not a lot where a unit just falls.

well angles are in 360 right? So theoretically:

| = x degrees

- = x + 90 degrees

| (upside down) = x + 180 degrees

- (other side) = x + 270 degrees

Ignore this if it makes no sense.

i know about this. my problem isnt that i cant figured out which angles i need the problem is that, no matter which angle i take, nothing happens.

make a f*** death animation xD

If the Death animation is played, and when the unit starts to attack/move, it will play walk animation
The idea is to get the unit forever lie (well, until re-activate the skill)

exactly and isnt there anyone who can tell me how to do this?
i mean, it does work actually. units can be turned into any direction.

Unit - Pause Unit

Or dummy stun.

 

[Vunjo]

hmm, you want a unit to "croach" or something like that? If you are making some sort of cinematics, and a guy needs to lie down on a bed or something then death animation fits, if not, then I can't help you soz =P

 

[Garfield1337]

Put -90 degrees for Art - Maximum Pitch Angle (degrees).
To put negative values,hold shift and double click on value field,as said previously.

 

[007]

as i already said a couple of times it doesnt work. if i press shift i cant enter anything at all.

This DOES work. Or you're not doing it properly.
