2 Questions...
« on: 02 Feb 2003, 18:37:53 »
1. How do you change a whole groups actions (ie. moveincargo helo1 or setbehaviour "SAFE") juts by typing a line in a tigger? I know there is one cause i've used it before but forgotton, its something like " _x moveInCargo helo1 " forEach Unitsgroup this

2. How do you make sure that a blokes name is a certain name, like Bob or something instead of Alan Partridge. Its used in the Cold War Crisis campaign cause on the radio command and group section on the briefing you're called Armstrong instead of what ever you're user name is. Get me? :-\

1.   Yes you're right .... I can't remember the syntax either so check out the official and unofficial command reference guides in the Editors Depot.

2.    This one is all to do with a special file called description.ext.     You set up the identity in this file and then put a spell in the dude's init field.    I can't remember how to it this either so check out one of the tutorials in the Ed Depot, (I think its in OFP File Formats) or if you just want to see it in action look at the Tutorial Mission in Getting Started.    You can do other good stuff in description.ext like gear selection and arranging these nice gold stars you get in the mission debriefing.

Everything is in the Ed Depot    ;)

Regret I can't help with the new question though.   Try searching the Ed Depot FAQ.

For anyone interested, the answer to the first question is the following:

"_x moveInCargo helo1" forEach thisList

Is typed in a trigger which is covering all the units you want to start in helo1.

And also you can use...

group this setBehaviour "SAFE";

to set a whole group as SAFE. This must be typed in the group leaders init feild.

Thanks to Liquid Silence from the OFP.info forum for this ;D
