the script looks fine so far, but needs a couple of additions - it would also help knowing what the variables are. is '_trackers' a group name, or just one unit's name?

create a local variable inside the loop to keep track of the distance.

Code: [Select]

_player = _this select 0
_trackers = _this select 1

#loop
_trackers domove getpos _player

_dist = _player distance leader _trackers

hint format ["Distance away from the enemy %1 meters away",_dist]
~15

? not (alive leader _trackers) or (_dist>2000):goto "exit"

goto "loop"

#exit

hint "You escaped! Well done!"

exit
that should work, depending on what '_trackers' refers to... ;)

_trackers is a group name

in that case the script would read thus:

Code: [Select]

_player = _this select 0
_trackers = _this select 1

#loop
{_x domove getpos _player} foreach units _trackers

_dist = _player distance leader _trackers

hint format ["Distance away from the enemy %1 meters away",_dist]
~15

? not (alive leader _trackers) or (_dist>2000):goto "exit"

goto "loop"

#exit

hint "You escaped! Well done!"

exit

Use the "move" command instead of "domove". It makes the whole group move, not a single unit.
