Title: ? captured units enter vehicle
Post by: RT-SuperTron on 23 Aug 2002, 19:53:28

hey guys.

I place 2 empty URAL named s1 and s2. I place 2 NME units named pf1 and pf2, and tell them to moveindriver and they do.

Now I have 2 groups of civilians "setcapture true", with "getin" wp to s1 and s2. They are set to careless to prevent them from running of.

Now they do get up in 2 lines behind the trucks but they wont getin.

So how do I make two groups of civie captures board 2 vehicles as cargo.

A quick question first, are you sure there is enough room for the civvies to board the truck?

...I have 2 groups of civilians "setcapture true" ...

I hope ya mean "setcaptive" .

They won't enter the vehicles unless ya set RESISTANCE FRENDLY TO EAST in the intel box  ::)
(thats the weather settings window in the upper right corner of the editor).

Now, I haven't tried this & I must confess that I dunno how / or IF it can B done at all, but if there's a way to edit the intel settings while the game is running, a trigger could do the job.

Off course ya can try the good old "assignascargo" & ...orderGetin True etc. but in this case I'm afraid the CIV's pretty much stick to the rebels & their ways of living  ::)

sorry m8 -

MAYBE.... a workaround could be to use a CIV truck & a "FAKE" soldier  :o :D

the problem is that a unit will not enter a vehicle that is on the enemy side (so it appears red to them on the map) - civilians will always regard the US trucks as enemy and maybe also the EAST. they will however enter ANY empty truck - so if the truck is empty when the civies get in then it shud be ok.

best thing to do is either:

 hack the mission.sqm and make the civilians on the resistance side so when u set resistance friendly to whoever then they will actually be allies.

or.... try and make the civies join the group - then they will also be able to get into the truck.

:thumbsup:

 :D

Another great idea, witch I should have been able to come up with my self, since I have used it before.
Well I guess, the more ideas you try and the more you learn, the more you actually can forget  ;D

Thnx guys.
