teppe Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Keep in mind that the "looking around" is a natural human movement. No one can look the same place in hours. When you look around, it's basically to ensure that you're secure, and that there's no enemies near you. Justsaying.Also, there's more then just one animation of them looking around. And it takes ages to do the animation job lol./t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc. Caliban Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) They will always look over their shoulder from time to time. It's just part of the engine. You could find the animation of looking over their shoulder and replace it in your mod with a blank animation of them crouching normally; that might make them stay still. That's not a bad idea ... I may have to look into that. I figured it was probably hard coded, but hadn't considered that there was an external source the the engine called on to make it happen. Thanks!

When I set up a sniper, I try to do it the way we snipe in coop: another player nearby acting as security for the sniper so that the sniper can stay 'in the glass' without concern for the immediate area. In most cases, with us, there's an addtional person spotting for the sniper as well. I set up most of my OPFOR snipers with a support actor hidden nearby to provide blind-zone security, and I try to script the sniper to react to a threat if the support actor is killed. I think that even a lone sniper, if actually trained in the filedcraft of sniping, would hold quite still for a long time, or at least not make sudden, sweeping movements. One of my teammates is ex-Danish Special Forces (Patruljekompagniet) and was trained and deployed in that role for a few years, so I get to hear about a lot of that stuff first hand. - Doc Edited February 1, 2013 by Doc.

teppe Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Danish special forces? I agree with you, but I would also say that spotters would be used, depending on which guys the opfor are. Are they terrorists they might not do it, if they are millitary soldiers, they might./t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
