Title: chain of command
Post by: Soulja on 29 Sep 2003, 01:40:58

Custom Coop Multiplayer:

When the leader dies no one assumes command so dummies like AI hostages that we have resscued cant be told to enter vehicles or arm themselves and the like. How do I get the next ranking soldier to take command?

If they are all in the same group, the next ranking soldier should take command.  Is the problem that scripted commands are referenced to the initial leader - so if he dies the commands don't execute?

If that's the problem, try replacing Kuro's BIGLEADER with Leader bigleadersgroup so the next link in the chain gets the command.

This makes sense but next ranking soldier does not take command unless AI controlled. I must be doing somthing wrong.  Very frustrating because my Lan friends love to play my levels until It screws up. Cant get past this.
