I just love it when you say "commando", I think it's awesome

Anyway, the answer is Yes! You should have the Syntax list,
look for the "commands".... " choosestrafe" - This randomly sets the entity to strafe left or right
and also "strafe=x" - This makes the character move in a direction defined by X, where X
is the rotation angle of the character. X = -360 to 360
A positive number make it move to the right, and a negative moves it to the left.
Use together with an animation so the character doesn't just "move/slide" left or right.
Example...

+ Code Snippet

:state=5:setframe=4,state=6
:state=6:incframe=4,strafe=90,rotatetoplr
:state=6,frameatend=4:state=1,animate=1

If you use "strafe=-90" make it move in the opposite direction.
Hope that helps you understand

Note: remember to keep scripts questions in the script forum next time

Thanks for the lesson, but in this case it was a container crane that needs to move, not a Character LOL!!! Is it possible to move objects to a firm spot, I think X,Y,Z angles??

make the container dynamic and attach the script (I forgot which one) and put in some way points, and the container will move along it.

You may need to add an invisible segment below the container, as follow doesn't' normally work without a floor. That could throw your lighting out of wack, but you can try and see how it looks.

Mr Love What I would do, if the situation is right, is to combine the upper & lower
sections into one model group ( if possible) set it "immobile" and run the animation.
I don't know if that would work for you, but it's a possibility.
Does the player need to "walk over" the containers, or is it just for show?

Its not possible in FPSC to create sutch a big object with animation without problems. Trust Me I have tried it all!

-Save upper railing and container together cause huge collision problems. (Cant move beside the container or under the railing)
-Save upper railing and container apart cause collision problems. (The boundingbox are moved around 3 yards/meters, and there are no collision where it shourld be.)

Mr Love I have created animated object over 10-layers high ( working crane) but yes, they are just for show.
I make them with no collision, but they animate just fine.

Quote: "(Cant move beside the container or under the railing)"

That can be a problem with collision. Have you tried other "collision" settings
besides 1 or 2 ? There are several you can try, here is an old list I have just for
this purpose....

1. Collision and physics:
There is always a heap of advice about improving performance in FPSC from keeping entity's low poly to making dynamic entity's static and turning off physics etc, 
some have their own methods and preferred ways of reducing the weight on the engine.
One very important and necessary factor always seems to be overlooked......physics collision.
I only ever see two settings being used again and again, box or poly.
There are actually other collision settings which can be used to reduce the calculations required for physics in FPSC.
Unless you really need to get under that table to find something its always best to use box collision on static immobile objects, the player wont notice that the round table has a box around it, 
nor will they notice that the car they just jumped up on is using a reduced collision envelope.

There are five collision settings you can use:
0 = Box 
1 = Poly
2 = Reduced
3 = Cylinder
4 = Sphere

Always take the time to think about how you want the player to react with objects in your level, you really dont need poly collision on everything in your game and using reduced will often be enough for any complex static object.
When you have hundreds of objects in your level design and reduce the collision on these the engine has less to calculate in real time and your frame rate will benefit greatly.

This script move object by x,y,z axis using buttons. The disadvantage is that the object passes through other objects and obstacles.

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = Control buttons: IJKLUO. Better set parameter (Always active = 1).

;Triggers
:state=0:coloff,state=1
:state=1,keypressed=23 1:incvar=$EPZ 1
:state=1,keypressed=37 1:incvar=$EPZ -1

Good work sman512! Even though I wourld only send the cargo container in on direction, and use two "buttons" from a crane control room. The most important with the hole thing was that the container wourld cover the manhole, where the diving-misson begins...
By the way thanks for that 4GB patch, My lightmapping consumes 3566MB!!! So You dont know any Guy with a 6GB patch???

Thanks for Your help!
