I looked through the forum and did not see any topics on doFollow.
I would like for a pair of AH-1Z's to escort transport helo's. The transport helo's group leader is named helo1. I thought a doFollow script would be the easiest way to do this.
This is my script:
_unit = _this select 0
_unit setCombatMode "YELLOW"
_unit setFormation "LINE"
_unit setSpeedMode "NORMAL"
_unit setBehaviour "COMBAT"
_unit doFollow helo1
exit
------
I put this into the AH-1Z group leaders Init Field:
[this] exec "doFollow.sqs"
The transport helo group moves to its waypoint, but the escorts just hover.
Is this the best and easiest method or would there be a better way to make helo escorts.

I think doFollow can only be used on units that are in the same group (which is a bit funny :scratch:..) :dunno:
You could try the doFollowUnit script (http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?topic=28711.0) (written by hoz) and see if it could be edited to do what you want, if doesn't work out of the box..

doFollow is just a fancy way of saying "return to formation" in fact. :) commandFollow will actually say the command out loud.
Wolfrug out.
