Title: "Creating" waypoints
Post by: Dj Tano on 20 Mar 2007, 20:30:35

Hey guys,

i would like to know if you can somehow make a trigger that, if activated, makes a unit go down waypoints...

I suggest that you take a look at this thread (http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?topic=28840.0).

Additionally. A lot of commands have been added, for example setWaypointBehaviour (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/ArmAOnly/index.php?action=list&game=All&letter=s#setWaypointBehaviour). The only command I couldn't find was that to create a new waypoint. Probably just overlooking it and someone else will add it to a later reply. For now, take a look at these commands and the topic and if you do still have any problems feel free to ask for more help (maybe more useful help).

You don't need to create waypoints, each single unit (un-grouped) or a group leader get's a initial waypoint right on top of it.
It's number is 0 and you can access it with the new waypoint commands.

For example

Code: [Select]

[groupname,0] setWaypointBehaviour "safe"
EDIT:
Oh, and the command for creating waypoints is addWaypoint (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=list&game=All&letter=a#addWaypoint)

But I don't think that's what Dj Tano is after  :scratch:
You mean setting a trigger in the editor?

If so, set the triggers type to 'switch' and synchronize the trigger with a waypoint prior to the waypoint you want the unit to go to.
Once the trigger gets activated it will 'free' the next waypoint for the unit..
