Title: alternative to cycle waypoints??
Post by: zinco on 24 Mar 2003, 02:15:17

It seems, for me anyway, using cycle to get a vehicle to go back and forth for instance does not work very consistently.  Some times it works just fine other time not at all.

I would like to do the same thing using gamelogics and a script.  Not sure what commands to use though.
If i use a trigger to trigger the script and gamelogic to mark the positions how do i get the jeep with ai or tank with ai to move to the position i want.

I'm sure it is pretty easy i just do not know the commands that well.

Thanks, Zinco

I have an idea. Create a script and write this..

Quote

#loop
NameOfCar domove getpos FirstGameLogic
@ Unitready NameOfCar
NameOfCar domove getpos NextGameLogic
@ Unitready NameOfCar
goto "loop"

Then put this in the init field of the car:

this exec "NameOfScript.sqs"

1st ideas are usually the best.  i do not think it will solve the problem that i have heard some people complain about............the fact that they sometime weave back and forth and do funny things.  but it works for my purposes.  i will press solve, ty.
