Col Deadmarsh Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 I noticed on two occasions lately that when I issue the sneak command to a unit, they get up and start walking instead of crawling on their bellies like they do with the crawl command. Has anyone else noticed this? ------------------ No, it can't wait till CM2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 They perform as they should. Sneaking means moving silent, and the easiest way to do that is upright, only a little crouched. They also maintain a high readiness to fight. Crawling is what you do to avoid being seen. This is slow and tiring, and units don't fight while crawling.

Col Deadmarsh Posted October 3, 2000 Author Share Posted October 3, 2000 Ah...I see. I thought sneaking was a slower form of crawling. Now it all makes sense... ------------------ No, it can't wait till CM2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 Also, there is no graphical representation for sneaking, so your guys look like they're just out for a stroll – but as far as the game engine is concerned they're sneaking.

I know right where that Kraut s.o.b. is and I'm gonna get him".' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croda Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 Sneaking seemed like it was slower than Moving...just my imagination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 Not imagination. Sneaking is slower than walking, since you have to look carefully where to place your feet every step. No stepping on dry branches or so... Cheers Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croda Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 well if you're looking where you're placing your feet, then you aren't looking to make sure that no one is shooting at you! Not sure I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L4Pilot Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Would love to see soldiers engaged in sneaking in that half bent over skirmish position, possibly raising their heads occaisionally to look around. Would be a good graphical representation to help distinguish between sneaking and moving. Have looked at a lot of units, asking my self why are they going so slowly, til it dawns on me.

It bothers me when I tell my men to sneak and it looks like they're out on a Sunday Stroll through the park. Doesn't seem like it should be too hard to model either.

Oh yeah, and it doesn't actually "do anything for the game" - that is for the dried out grog who don't care much about how the game looks one way or the other - so any cool graphical representations are very low on their "to do" list . ------------------ "...Every position, every meter of Soviet soil must be defended to the last drop of blood..." - Segment from Order 227 "Not a step back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
