Post Making soldiers behave right
I'm making a campaign, and it has a small guard outpost in it. The problem is, some of them won't exactly stay in their posts...

The one in the middle of the base falls over as he tries to get up, over and over, and slowly moves to the left. The one at the gun window slowly falls backwards and doesn't stay near the window. And although this doesn't bother me as much, I wish they wouldn't do the sentry sweep all in union like they're being controlled by some hive mind...

How can I fix these?

If you want it pretty: Forget it.

If you want it to work: Pin the actors. They won't move (pinning affects the chest) but the legs will still go through their animation cycle and it'll be pretty ugly.

Ignore what Grif said.
Code:
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
    if actor:IsPlayerControlled() == false and actor.AIMode == Actor.AIMODE_SENTRY then
   actor:GetController():SetState(Controller.BODY_CROUCH,false);
   actor:GetController():SetState(Controller.MOVE_LEFT,false);
   actor:GetController():SetState(Controller.MOVE_RIGHT,false);
    end
   end

Stuff that somewhere in your mission update function.

That will basically stop them from crouching or walking while in sentry mode.

Thank you! I would've done that, but I thought they were falling over, not moving. Thank you so much... You've saved the mission I'm making!
