Title: How to make unit follow?
Post by: ahmed117 on 20 Jan 2012, 08:59:25

Gentlemen,
              I have a mission, in which I want a jeep with MG to guard a truck full of soldiers. For this, I need the jeep to follow the truck. So How can I make that jeep follow that truck without joining its group?

You could do something like this (I'm assuming you want the jeep and truck to not be in the same group?)

Follow.sqs:

Code: [Select]

endwp=false
#LOOP

~1

[jeep1, 1] setWppos getpos truck

? !endwp: goto "LOOP"


This script basically attaches the jeep's waypoint to the truck, and then loops it every second.

To set this up, you need to give your jeep a 'move' waypoint, and synchronise it to a trigger (put 'endwp' in the condition field).

Whenever you want the following to stop, simply make 'endwp' true.

Hope this helps

I'll attach an example mission. Just copy everything you see in the mission, and it should work (you'll need the follow.sqs script which is in the mission folder)

I got it sir,
              Thank you for creating an example mission for me, actually, the Init trigger I placed, its condition was "this", while your trigger had "true" that is why I had confusion. any way Thank you very much for your help.
