Dakota is now wondering what marth is talking about and how well it may or may not work.

@ Marth - There have been long discussions about forcing ai into vehicles, but it doesn't work effectively from what I remember. It would work for the player, but the ai would just jump right out of the vehicle. There would also be nothing to stop the player just hopping out....

So make a version of the unit without those thrust effects and whatnot, put those units on a new team for the A.I. that would spawn as it, and set the team up so that it's friendly to the original team with the normal unit.

that wouldn't quite work for what i need.

Why?

such a short post....

anyway:

1. can't use a vehicle, my unit has to be able to be knocked down.

2. i would want the ai to have the thrust effects and be able to fly also.

3. if people use the 1.3 patch to kill all ai on teams 1 and 2 the troopers would still be there.

4. its entirely too complex and convoluted for me to be able to effectively use it in this era mod that i am working on.

5. if it was a flyer you'd have to take off and you would just fly around when the jet pack is a dark trooper style jet pack.

6. hovers don't fly.

EDIT: just noticed this thread has caused change in the bf2 limitations thread.
