Stopping & continuing an uncontrolled group.

[dematti]

Hi,

When groups get in a firefight they keep moving towards their waypoints.
Is it possible to halt a squad when contact is made, and resume when the firefight is over?
Without beeing the leader of the squad.
Hopefully a radio trigger can solve this?

Thanx

Well, you can stop a group by a large number of different commands.

One is simple enough:

disableAI "MOVE" + enableAI "MOVE"

another is unit STOP true

However the real question you want to ask is: "How do I know when contact is made?" 

I don't know. Off the top of my head: a big trigger which is activated by "OPFOR spotted by BLUFOR" in the area that the group is moving in. Alternatively if you've got complicated set-ups, you can start messing around with i.e. nearTargets and knowsAbout.

Hope that gives some ideas. 

Wolfrug out.

"How do I know when contact is made?"

... setting the trigger to detected by should activate the trigger when contact is made
