Title: STAY BOY!
Post by: warnlz on 12 Jul 2003, 21:46:53

I am currently making a special-op mission that incudes large amounts of soldiers just sitting around; so many infact that I ran out of avaliable groups(63) because to make them stay still and not go into formation I have to group them seperatly. How do I make them stay where they are but still have them grouped so I can finish the mission? ??? ?

or

Listen up, m8 :thumbsup: artak is a VERY alcoholic person, and listening to him MIGHT result in unlawful acts, :noo: so I'd suggest you do the following instead :


Set the "SPECIAL" field to "None" when U create a soldier (do it all the morons).
And put this in the INIT field :

   DoStop This


That will make 'em hold, though they WILL return fire if attacked. And the "NONE" is what allows you to place them wherever U want on the map, unlike "this stop true" which would freeze the morons completely - a bit like when old Artak up there have had too much of that booze...  ::) ;D
