Title: random x and y=one point???
Post by: dmakatra on 16 Jun 2003, 15:02:30: I dunno really how IÃ‚'m gonna explain this but IÃ‚'m makin a random walkin script where u(me ;)) can set how big the area the guy(s) are goin to walk in x and y. Now, the random command now randomly spawns a pos in that area I choose but how the f*ck do I get my guys to walk there? IÃ‚'ve tried some ways like _x + _y = _thepoint and stuff but it doesnÃ‚'t work.
I donÃ‚'t want to use GLs and this have to be done someway since then those arty scripts wouldnÃ‚'t work :-\. Plz help.

Thx in advance. :-*

EDIT: I made a little pic in MS Paint that can help u understand cause my english sux. ;D

Post by: Komuna on 16 Jun 2003, 15:27:08: [Chris Death]: Unit doMove [_x,_y,_z] - I belive _z is not mandatory, but try it, could be just a syntax error...

Unit Move [_x,_y] - This works fine... As doMove should work fine, to.

[Komuna]: ['Group','N'] SetWPPos [_x,_y,_z] - I'm not sure if the syntax is right... besides, i've never tested it ;D. But it could solve your problem, by conditioning a certain waypoint [Number='N'] of a certain 'Group' and activate it (or switch through trigger) when tha coordinates are given. #Edit: the command would set a new position for your WP (Waypoint)

Good luck, mate! :-* *

Post by: Wolfrug on 16 Jun 2003, 16:20:52: Huhm. Alright, in a script I'm not sure at this particular second. Not entirely sure what exactly it is that you need it for either. Might help if you'd enlighten us on that.

I mean, you can always make the "placement radius" of the waypoint huge to create some randomness... ::)

Wolfrug out.

Post by: dmakatra on 16 Jun 2003, 17:45:46: Code: [Select]
_center = _this select 0 _x = GetPos _Center select 0 _y = GetPos _Center select 1 _x = _x + Random(200) - 100 _y = _y + Random(200) - 100 Unit doMove [_x,_y]
Worked like a charm. Cheers.
