Title: Arresting AI
Post by: Aske on 23 Dec 2009, 23:45:36

Hi,
I've got my hands on a small arresting script. It looks like this:

In a trigger I put:

Code: [Select]

_captive = unitName addAction ["Capture", "capture.sqf"];
unitName setCaptive true;
removeAllWeapons unitName;
unitName disableAI "AUTOTARGET";

and in capture.sqf I put:

Code: [Select]

[unitName] joinSilent playername;

The problem is that this is supposed to be used in a multiplayer mission so I would want to whoever captures the unit to get control of him. Not just "playername".

I tried to use nearestobject to determine which blufor soldier was closest and let him get control of the captive. Something like this:

Code: [Select]

nearobj = nearestObject [captive, "SoldierWB"];

and then:

Code: [Select]

[unitName] joinSilent nearobj;

But nearobj is always the blufor unit which spawned closest to "captive" not a dynamic "whoever is closest at the moment". Any suggestions?

You probably need to use nearestobjects and get all the objects and stick them in an array. Then parse the array for the closest excluding the captive.

And how would that be done? :D

Thanks.

Edit: Solved, I just put: [unitName] joinSilent (nearestobject [unitName, "SoldierWB"]); in the mission.sqf and it seems to work. I guess in this case it looks at the closest "SoldierWB" in the same moment as you press "Capture" in the action menu.

[unitName] joinSilent (nearestobject [unitName, "SoldierWB"]);

All that goes in the .sqf or do the other two lines still go in there aswell?
