Im making a single player game and was wondering is there anyway to get your enemy soldiers to start of crounching or laying down?

Try this in the entity box:

key / value:
position / crouch (or prone)

1. regular stock AI doesn't work in MP
2. bots i really don't think support that, but i'll let jv answer for sure

actually... yes..

you'd need to make a new state and assign something to a key to be able to crouch and do that, but yeah... it'd be possible.

not without some serious work though.

Not without adding a prone animation to player animation includes. And adding new animations f**ks up the existing. Tried it already.

that would have been so cool too...

did you try making a different animation include with just the prone-based animations?

It's possible but not server-side... preventing players to move when prone is tough too.

I've made this working - when you double-tapped crouch, you'd go prone, but the view height was still at crouch level. And of course the animations were screwed up (it looked as if you were sharking).

@Lizard - tried every way I could think of, no luck.

ooo.. i think i tried your mod once, some server tried it. had people proning and glitching through the ground etc...

I don't think so, I never released it.

I once gave it a try too (long ago)... anims etc were all good but the move speed was insane and so was turning... I couldn't get the view right either.
