Title: Unit Stop Go
Post by: terran4999 on 12 May 2008, 06:54:48

You may use lockWP (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=list&game=All&letter=l#207) to avoid the unit or group will proceed to next waypoint, and meanwhile you may order the group to move anywhere else. When the task is done, use the same command to unlock waypoints, so the unit or group will proceed with next waypoint.

the command "sold lockWP true/false" in the radio triggers didn't work. the unit just kept moving

I'm not sure about this, but have you tried using the DisableAI Command (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=list&game=All&letter=d#105)

For example:

Code: [Select]

aP DisableAI "MOVE"

That worked to stop the unit. How do you make it move again??

I am just trying to create an escort mission where i get the ability to radio my escort truck to stop and go as i clear the path like in the campaign.  :P :P

I believe:

aP enableAI "MOVE"

I believe enableAI is an ArmA only command.

(enable/disableAI "move") command would not work; has anybody made an escort mission before that would know how to radio units to move and stop

thanks  :clap:

LockWP will work, but not if the unit is between WPs. If lockWP TRUE and the unit is between WPs then the unit will stop when it reaches its next WP.  Plus if you read the COMREF entry for the lockWP command, you will see it needs to be applied to the unit's group, not the individual.

Try

Code: [Select]

group sold lockWP TRUE

Never mind, I solved it by extracting the missions in the campaign and figured out what they did. Thanks for all your inputs  :good: :good: :good:
