How do I get pullng lineman to block. Whatever I try it seems my linemen pull around the end and either run by the defender without touching them or get to the end of their movement and just stand there doing nothing. The same is true when I move linemen inside on traps, counters, etc. I want to know what I need to do get them to move, then find someone, and then block them.

Use "Lead Block" in the top logic box and "Move to Next Point" in the second logic box. At the final point use a "Block nearest" or "Block Out". This should get you what you are looking for.

Apparently I am not doing something right because when I do what you suggested (lead then move then block out), my lineman block straight ahead to the nearest dlineman or linebacker and don't pull around the end.

ok that does happen, here is what I do. I create the first movement point about a half yard back and t the side of the pull. Then give there OL a move to that point logic. I then create the next movement point, depending on the play and the need to block anyone blitzing. For example for a sweep, for the front side OG I will have him pull back and start to lead (as above) the second movent point will be in a straight line to the side run probably to point outside the OT, the OG will be given move to logic to get to that point. From there i create another point about 5 yards upfield and anglling to the outside. Here I give the OG lead block and move to point logic. At the last point I give them block nearest.

The problem is if you give an OL lead block logic, if an defender is within a yard of them they target that player instead of follwing the movenment path.

For a OF pulling from the side away from the play I probably have him move to a point behind the C, then create a point about behind the OT and give him a lead block logic. THat way if a DL or LB is penatrating on the side of the play he will hopefully pick it up. I no on penatrates they will continue outside. Then at that point give them lead block logic again and move to a point outside and up field.

Play with this and see how it works out. Also check the sweep and count plays in the stock one back offense to see how it works.

Hope this helps.

Hey, thanks for the help. Traps, Counters, and Sweeps all working now.
