K9 Units script

[james23222000]

Edit: Problem with script, see here

Hello to everyone,

I have noticed people in the forum asking if it is possible for a K9 (police dog) script to make the dog attack or make people surrender. I have been scrutinising the Armed Arrest script that Hoppah has in his LA mod and have deemed it possible.

So soon I will be starting the scripting for this. I will require some help, this will be:

• 2 scripting assisters - Anyone who is competant in command scripting, emergency 4 editor and emergency 4 to aid the progress of the script
  
• 1 person for general aid - Some one who can reply to forum posts when I am busy with the script. Job given to Bruce563
  

Benefits:

• Will be mentioned in the Read me section of the script
  
• Will recieve the script before anyone else does.
  

Watch this space for updates

Regards

James

Do you have any experience with scripting?

Do you know wich part to use?

Do you know how to edit the scripts?

I know what I'm talking about. The K9-Script is a real pain in the a**. You only need to change 1 line BUT there are none animations available for the dog to combine them with. Try to allow a police officer to link up with a dog and see what I mean

[james23222000]

Wow, Finally someone is working on this. I try to bring this up before and some keep saying it won't work.

But a few think it would work. I know it could since dogs can attack it game.

I would love to to use this Police Dog in Tokyo Mod also.

Will the dog able to search or follow?

[james23222000]

Anyone got any ideas about why the script isn't working?

@Commander Rasseru: Follow and attack.

Regards

James

[Guest __Uknow__]

if I see it fast you dont give any value to ChildID so the default value is 0

[james23222000]

No, that is the value I set it to.

The log tells me that both the ChildID == 0 and the ChildID == 1 parts of the scripts function properly

Anyone??

[pyrothijs]

Anyone??

I'm a very bad scripter so I only checked punctuation and such. That all seams fine to me. Did found this:

if(!p.IsValid() || !t.IsValid() || p.GetEnteredCarID() != -1)
   return false;

I'm not sure if -1 is a valid value, but it's the only thing I could think of.

greetz,

greetz,

That is valid. If it wasn't, the script wouldn't work at all, but thanks anyway

Still looking for help

Would a "hold" command work? That will make person hold still by the dog?

[soulbody]

maybe you can better make at solo commands, like attack civillian, search wounded, stop civilian. then you can find the bug by value and not by the hole script

[james23222000]

Thats how this script works. It only does part of the command at a time as if each childID is a single command script.

Still need help.

you don't get the different

the different is:

childID: 1 command, and get more it CAN do

5 commands: the k9 dog will do the thing you want. and the player set what not the script/game/dog

[Commander Rasseru]

Have you try to do each command alone without any problems?

I know you have to create a script for each command... But it let you know if the command works.

Then slow add each command into one script...

I hope that solve your problem?

[james23222000]

Unnfortunately its not quite as simple as that but I wil llook into it later.

James

[Luisinho]

Sorry for posting on this old topic, but anywayz if you're still working on this, I guess I have an idea.

Do you know Hoppah's Bomb Squad Robot? You can do the same as it, but instead of a robot, you can place a dog there, and instead of disarming bombs, you set it to attack people!

[nick the greek]

as i said some weeks ago there is an animation for dog to attack people in rabid dog call. do you think you could use it?

[james23222000]

I am using that, but there is a problem with the script that I haven't yet worked out. I am working on it though.

[nick the greek]

ok good luck
