Tutorial: Eden 3D Editor Making AI Sit [Arma 3] 

I really appreciate these videos man, been away from my gaming rig for a year now and was dying to play some sim games. Found out Arma 3 ran on my work laptop and gave it a shot! Never worked with a game editor before but been having good fun with this one! Appreciate the help man!

Thank you much! I tried this with folding chair and camping table, and the command with the arrow thing worked perfectly!

Made this vid for a guy on Reddit who had the same troubles as I did when trying to place an ai on a chair. After trying different commands, this is what worked best for me. If this helps anyone else out, awesome.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Been trying to do this since Arma 2 =D. You are awesome!

6 years later you still helped me! thanks man!

I know this video is older than the heavens but I have been coming back here ever since this video was just a few months old Thanks for the code my ol' dude

Chair simulator 2017.

Thanks alot! Great vid

Thanks mate - really helpful!

Just wanted to say thanks for the video.

Mega thanks for this video!

Finally. Commands that work.

awesome,m8...many thx

been using 3d editors since 2014, this has it bonuses but is not fully there, no gamemode is compatible with it yet, i still use my 3d editor, and plus now everyone has assess to a easy 3d editor , its harder to find paid jobs for map editing

thanks mate

Nice video, thanks por posted it! But I have a dubt: how can I say to them stand up? I try the comands "move there", "regroup" and they do not movie. Thanks!

Good Thanks

the unit I placed siting on the chair, starts sinking in the ground, it just passes through trought the chair, building and ground

attachTo is also a way, just you need much more scripting to make AI react to enemy and die

I'm making a scenario where player survived the crash needs to get up from ground. Do you cnow how to make that?

Hey dude - Brand new to A3 Editing, creating a scenario where a interrogator (Opfor) is interrogating Survivor (Blufor). When the mission starts the Opfor immediately gets out of the chair and runs away. Any Suggestions to keep him sitting? Thanks In advance - quick & easy tutorial - subbed.

But what if you at some point want them to get out of their chair when they get shot at?

nice vid. helped me out. just one question. is there a way to place a dead unit on a chair aswell? cheerz!

how do you get them to face certain directions?

Get the mod 3den enhanced. A lot of easy to use features including combat and non combat animations.

when i try the lean on table aim he falls through the table

what would be a code if you want to place civilian to sit? I mean would you change anything? [this,"SIT1","ASIS",arrow1] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; I assume only this would be changed( call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; ) right?

does this work in Multiplayer mission as well?

How this works: [your unit name(or just _this), 'animation name', 'gear settings(you can delete his weapon+vests and stuff by setting 'NONE' or leave as it is with 'ASIS'), 'optional parameter which sometimes doesn't work properly'. ] call_function. But the problem is, that even if engaged, this unit will not leave this animation state, sometimes even make it after death. So, what you are doing at 04:34 is giving him default animation when engaged(going to combat state). But, most of animations delete character weapon, so you can either write a ton of code to store/restore it, or just spawn magazines+weapon on his back while doing first animation. All in all, you could just call animation and adjust the soldier to the chair/table/stone/etc manually. You can see full list of animation at tools - functions viewer, select A3 in 1st checkbox, ambient in the second one.

Now, if you really want to get creative, you can fiddle around with AttachTo commands and you could potentially make them sit on vehicles and stuff while its moving. Idk, really, I'm a noob.

Wait so why wouldn't you just name the chair "chair1" and do the same command?

How would I have enemy AI react? They are brain dead in this state.

How to make them get up?

Why bother with the 'pointer'? Just name the chair and use that variable name instead.

it dosent work for me
