Title: Getting AI to join your group
Post by: Owens on 19 Jun 2003, 16:21:14

I have a hostage situation where west rescue a west pilot from east.
I had to make the group leader a civi so they didnt fire at pilot.
Q1. But is there a way to make the pilot join the west group when a trigger happens and be able to command him. Will it need a script or just syntax in init field of the unit.

Q2. Is there a command for hold position cos my pilot keeps runnin round like a madman and ends up in the middle of a forest.

Thx

- Use a Hold Waypoint

The join thing aint working for some reason.

i Put this in the on activation field of trigger:

Code: [Select]

captive1 join playergrp; Captive2 join playergrpIm gettin an error from it for some reason, can you see anything that im doin wrong?
I think the error said something about expected array, am i missin some brackets somewhere or something like that?
thx
