Order those AI around! HOOAH!

[andrewbuddy12]

Check this out:

Try ordering them around by looking at them and using one of these console commands (you'll want to bind these to keys) :

"CommandCivilian TakeCover" - NPC will try to find some cover - this can be useful when they are blocking a doorway or narrow passage as they'll usually try to run back out to the nearest cover location.

"CommandCivilian GetDown" - will tell the AI to go prone so you can safely shoot near them

"CommandCivilian MoveAlong" - Tells an AI you've sent prone to get up and move along with what they are doing, but will only work if they aren't frightened into not being able to respond.

You can also try bumping into them in narrow passages and that should cause them to reverse course, unless they are panicked.

There's a couple of other NPC commands, but they won't work with the NPCs on the maps currently in 2.8.2.

Thats a quote from this thread on the AA forums from [Dev]Bill D Cat: forum.americasarmy.com/viewtopic.php?t=263937

Aw, I was hoping we could start ordering the military AI bots around ... I've always wanted to tell Enemy Spotter to jump out of his tower .

Good info, though, for those who like maps that have civilians in them -- I'll try it out on that guy who likes to hide in the corner of the Fort Northern Courtyard on SnakePlain.

That's really sweet!

Gotta try that tonight.

That's cool, i'm gonna try it. What maps do these work on? And do u have summonnpcsoldier first?

From the context of the original thread, I am going to assume that it is only for SF Hospital SE so far. (the only map with active civilian AI on the map) While Snakeplain and Hospital (original) have sitting/idle civilians, Hospital SE is the only one with civilians who move.
