Title: Patrol groups
Post by: General Goober on 05 Feb 2003, 12:00:39

Can anyone please tell me what the best method is for patrolling groups to make game more interesting.  What use is there for Seek and destroy and Guard.  How do you get a group that is patrolling while moving to track any enemies.  I have a BDMR with four guys that just drive past ignoring any enemies.  More interested in getting to next waypoint.

they're not really ignoring them, they just haven't seen them.

seek and destroy means they wander around looking for trouble.   put a cylce WP next to it otherwise they will stop eventually

guard is best used in conjuction with a trigger type switch.   a group on a guard wp will head to any part of the map where the enemy have been detected.

check the tutes for more, there's plenty on this kind of stuff, particularly in Getting Started.

Make sure the S&D people's awareness level is not "careless"
