Men of War Assault Squad GEM Editor Tutorial: How to Make Soldiers Auto-man Cannons

[@PhaserFelix]

Excellent! Seriously helped me a lot, not only what I was seeking but also to learn new stuff. Now I even know how to automatic make units jump into vehicles, move to location than jump out again.

[@TouristTrophyRecord]

I understand, in fact I noticed that the GEM editor works just like if you are scripting but with the difference that it is done through windows. It is normal that you had to test some times before to get it to work properly, but it is just great you found a way to do it. =)

[@bakersmileyface]

I always just have a near condition and then a board command. Just set it to autoreset or place a trigger command at the end to loop it and jobs done. Easy. But this really taught me a lot of things I didn't know and helped me out with a different problem I've been facing, so thank you.

[@usersmith2227]

Thank you very much! I was looking for material from this video for a very long time.

[@TouristTrophyRecord]

Holy crap! How dd you learnt all that stuff?! anyway the result is amazing.

[@pyrobytee]

I know this is comment is 7 years ago, but he either learned it from himself or the Men Of War forums (forgot the actual name sorry)

[@14DNS]

Thank you very much :) im really glad that i subscribed you :)!! thank you for the video

[@SouperDaveCDN]

Hey ***** new sub here! This is exactly the tutorial I was looking for and you nailed it man. One question though: how the heck did you learn all that?? Thx

[@123stealthbomber]

Cool and thanks. Also haha, I had lots of time to experiment with the editor, I figured out what works and what doesn't. I also have a programming background, so even though this is scripting, it follows some of the same premises.

[@SouperDaveCDN]

***** I was dreaming you were going to say "Here's a secret link to a highly detailed scripting manual for the GEM editor" rofl it's a great tool imho but sadly there's not much documentation I guess due to the language barrier as it being EU-made. Have some coding experience as well which is why your tute gave me several "aha" moments. Anyhoo, cheers and I'l try not to inundate you with questions. :)

[@michaelgallagher9950]

Any update on the 'easier way' tutorial? Also, what did Warsss11 mean in his comment? Are they pre-existing triggers you can easily add?

[@123stealthbomber]

Unfortunately no there is no easier way. For this specific tutorial. There is another way, but it is nothing like this. It requires a near condition and then a board command. However this only makes them board once only unlike in this video where they can board pretty much unlimited amount of times. Also I have no idea what he is talking about. I dont think he was talking about the same topic. I tried that same thing what he was saying about that same day and it does not work. I think what he supposed to mean was that you can make a reinforcement and then buy it which makes them follow to the gun and reboard the gun. Which is kinda pointless if you want them to board without a reinforcement. So I have no idea honestly lol.

[@Viljarms]

​@@123stealthbomber Don't forget that you can check the autoreset for the trigger! The easy way works :D

[@robindijk7472]

oooh almost 100 :p

[@MrOreo2K9]

Thanks :) appreciate it :)

[@875yertgeyker875]

FINALLY!

[@krabistheisopod1376]

thank you

[@MhmD-TH]

hey is there a way to make it so that it vehicles would get repaired automatically? or even the stationary guns if they're not not operate-able?

[@marcweeb4642]

How do you use the entity effects

[@panicman857]

i have a question i want to make a mission where i set up a defensive line where reinforcements come in at certain time I've got everything down except they stop half way to there destination and engage the enemy so what I'm asking is there a work around so that they run in under fire and not take take cover or fire there guns when under fire or seeing the enemy?

[@123stealthbomber]

Make a actor_state command and set off the enable AI. This will make them not take action under an AI and foolishly run into enemy fire rather than reacting normally.

[@panicman857]

thank you

[@N99stynutZ]

do a video on how to assign a player please

[@echoes7MGTE]

For some reason I cannot change the state of anything to operatable or inhabited, anyone know a fix?

[@Seris.]

I tried to figure it out, couldn't figure it out. I have an anti tank gun, I get them to board the at gun if nobody is manning it, but if one of the soldiers manning it dies (and the other one is still alive), another one wont man it until both of the soldiers manning it are dead. Any way to get them to man it if there's already one guy on it? I hope this makes sense, kind regards Wolfie. Ps. I love your videos ;) They are so damn helpful :3

[@mickcarson8504]

Hello. Reading your question, I couldn't help asking you if you have found out how to make all soldiers in the vicinity of a set perimeter to man the gun if the one manning it dies. Only those near the gun (set as distance of 10 up to 100mtr).

[@spikid1]

Hi how can i make line for soldiers on which will they move? Something like waipoint but i want to make that line ...

[@MhmD-TH]

set your waypoint's radius to 10

[@875yertgeyker875]

make a tutorial on haw to change a weapon's ammo like an IS-2 is firing a... i dont know a 600 mm shell

[@Foxhound94]

how do you change the unit inventory?like weapons,bullets,supplies and to equip civilians,vehicles,ect..

[@S3oiNsTiNc7oV8]

+Steven v select the unit,press W and click to inventory and you scroll down and drag the weapon/ammo,ecc. you want in the inventory

[@Foxhound94]

+Foxy the pirate fox thank you for the help

[@S3oiNsTiNc7oV8]

Steven v your welcome

[@xboxgamer9680]

How do i make AI soldiers stay behind a certain cover, for example I'm creating a pacific war map and I want a Japanese machine gunner to stay in the bunker but when I put it into testing he will run outside and shoot from a near by trench

[@alamric]

when you select your units in F3 mode on the right you have the properties menu, where it says movement make sure you put them on hold once they are in the position you want them to defend

[@xboxgamer9680]

thanks

[@dungnguyentan2426]

how to make vehicle auto repair ?

[@darwin6754]

StealthBomber, there is a problem I encountered. There are these Germans in the bunker, with the standing MG42, everything works fine, but: After the 3rd - 4th man gets shot using the MG, all the units from the team (Team 1) move near the MG. They abandon their area just to get near the MG. How do I stop this? Why does it happen?

[@mickcarson8504]

Hi. Have you worked out how to stop the entire team from abandoning their posts and rush to the MG?

[@dirtybomb4219]

Mick Carson just make the area smaller, make it 7

[@mickcarson8504]

Dirty Bomb​​​​​​​​ I know, thanks. But Darwin Nolan hasn't replied to my comment, so don't know if he fixed the problem or not because Stealthbomber hadn't replied either and I though I'd help Darwin instead. Since he (Darwin) hadn't responded to my comment, I assumed he fixed it. BTW, you said 'make the area smaller, make it 7'. Did you mean reduce the radius in the "Entity Properties" Menu on the right of the screen? I set the soldier to 'hold' and they only go to the MG if one already on the MG dies. The rest remain on their posts.

[@875yertgeyker875]

its possible i watched a video that a guy made some cheats for men of war 1 in the mission moscow is behind us he gave the is 2 a sturmtiger shell

[@christopherfisher814]

i know this is a late comment but i cant get my infantry to man specific cannons, any solutions?

[@mickcarson8504]

Unless you have found out how to man any cannons, tanks, vehicles, ships, etc., I am here to help you.

[@MrOreo2K9]

What map is that?

[@keycrafter7471]

Ive found a way to make it simpler however its more loose as in it randomly selects a person

[@atatakaiyuki5321]

how to give a job to happen on time as I want?? What I want to happen at the beginning of the war.

[@123stealthbomber]

Just go to f1 mode and select the soldier and put them on the gun.

[@atatakaiyuki5321]

***** Thanks, but I mean, for example, for a soldier I go from point A to point B, and how to take up another person to talk to point B, the words that I put only applied when the first game was, I could not make it applicable to a time I want. (I was in Vietnam, I speak English not standardized, sorry)

[@123stealthbomber]

Minh Huân Trương Well take a look at my beginner tutorials on my channel. They should help you answer your question and many more. Almost any thing you can think of I have a video that explains everything you need to know.

[@michellekowalewski438]

how do you rotae tanks

[@123stealthbomber]

Select them and then hold down the "c" key and move your mouse in any direction.

[@toshiba987654321]

you can do that but its coding and has nothing to do with the editor

[@alttplink]

Voice commenting, woo.

[@WARSSS11]

i am sorry to tell you that, you shitted week of your life for no reason . there is a trigger (ai:reinforcements/at-cannon001) that do absolutley same job(but with antitank cannons).

[@khaledomega6430]

thank you
