No animation for snipers

[MikeAP]

Sniper unit in game has no animation.

[IainMcNeil]

I've added it to the list and we'll try to fix for the next patch. Which sniper unit do you mean exactly? There are about 4 of them

[MikeAP]

I think none of them

[IainMcNeil]

They all have here - which action are they missing? Do they walk, die, shoot?

[MikeAP]

Sorry about that; I was unclear

Snipers lack shooting animations

PC version, using Steam (latest very)

[MikeAP]

This is still not fixed.

The sniper now uses the rifleman animation and sound - shows model shooting 3 times. Sniper should be 1 shot.

The sniper uses the same model as the infantry (IIRC from fixing it) and this maps to the same SFX etc. So it was that or the old problem. I chose the current result.

It formerly used the SniperRifle wav.

It now just uses the rifle audio.

It should have its own animation and sfx, no?

This has been introduced with the 1-0.4, to avoid it (I'm fixing it in my scenarios) you must change

lines 34-36 in the SNIPER.BSF

AddVizUnitTurnToFire(me, tilex, tiley) ;
AddVizAnim(me, "FIRE", 255) ;
//AddVizFunctionCall("PlaySFX", effectX, effectY, 21) ;

to

AddVizUnitTurnToFire(me, tilex, tiley) ;
//AddVizAnim(me, "FIRE", 255) ;
AddVizFunctionCall("PlaySFX", effectX, effectY, 21) ;

And put the modified file in your scenarios DATA/BATTLE/SCRIPTS

Sounds good, thanks.
