Pilot Join Group
« on: 09 Mar 2003, 11:33:47 »
Hi Guys

I've been working on a mission where the players have to rescue a downed pilot. The pilot is hiding in a church, when the players clear the village that the church is in of the enemy a trigger tells the pilot to move and join the player group. The problem is this, every time the pilot joins the group the player commanding the group pc crashes, we have tried it on several pc's so we know it is not that. The pilot has a join waypoint, the player has a join and lead waypoint, and both are synchronized, the pilot is of a lesser rank than the player. The real ass kicker is that when making the mission and playtesting that part it worked, any ideas ???.

first of all: Use the command instead of the WP.

Second(if u donÂ't want to use the command): Only use a 'join and lead' and sync it with a move WP.

Hope this will help :-*

Josef, I hope Raven will post the mission in the Beta testing forum in due course.    And even if he has his own beta testers hopefully it will reach the Missions Depot and we can all play it.   ;)



Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

Tried the Join and Lead w/Move, the pilot moved to the point and just stood there and didn't join the group. Me being a bit thick, Command ?.

No, only a 4 man delta unit so there should be no problem there, as I said works in preview but not when you play the mission in multi,

I'll try, but I use so many different addons for all over the place, sometimes even I can't remember what pack they came from that I'm not sure I could posty them. It's an advantage of having a 7 PC home network, all you have to do is copy the addons over to each PC at the start of the session ;D .

Sorry for the mulit replies, haven't got the hang of putting them all in one post.
