Title: Patrolling
Post by: muzzyman81 on 21 Sep 2005, 17:30:03

I have tried using the Search but couldn't find anything that actually says how to make units patrol between two (or more) spots such as back and forth or around a camp or small town and to keep doing it indefinately until mission ends or killed.

Waypoints will do that.  ;)

Give the group a move waypoint at each corner of the base or what ever, and then for the last waypoint give them a cycle waypoint. This will make them walk round the base to the cycle waypoint, then start again.

Hi Muzzyman81,

Welcome to OFPEC. First off all there a couple of basic things you should do in the future, before asking a question: First of all, try browsing our huge knowledge base, outside our boards, known as the editors depot (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/index.php). After that, try to make sure you post in the right forum. This question belongs in the editing and scripting: general section of our boards. That is where I am moving this thread now.

I hope OFPEC can answer many of your questions in the future.
