Title: What program/script can i use to create waypoints in the middle of a mission
Post by: jeffddrowe on 29 Nov 2008, 03:54:26

Therse been plenty of times that i needed to add a waypoint in the middle of a mission so i can get other squads to move up/retreat. Is there a program i can download or a script i can use to create waypoints randomly during missions.


Now i know you can use Realtime editor but that only works for units u placed while using the REALTIMEEDITOR. I need a program to make waypoints for any units in the middle of a mission.

thanks

I don't know if there is a script which places waypoints randomly but I think you can create it using addWaipoint and deleteWaypoint commands plus the random function.

Let me give you a example or two.

1. Lets say I call in some Cobra support and that chopper ends up getting shot down, id want to be able to have my squad do a "Join and Lead" or just simply put a move waypoint for the pilot/copilot to retreat to a safer loction.


Any possible ways to do this?


Also whats the addwaypoint thing?
