Do follow?

[Tales_From_Topographic_Oceans 0]

How do I get a civilian (Civ1) to follow me (player1)?

I can use the JOIN command but a radio command is issued. It works but I want a silent JOIN with no radio command.

I think the DoFollow command will do this but I can not get it to work. I have tried this:

Civ1 DoFollow player1 (does not work)

[Civ1] DoFollow player1 (does not work)

Civ1 DOFOLLOW player1 (does not work)

How the fiddle feck does this work? I can get the DoFire and DoTarget commands to work but not this one.

I have thrown a chair across the room; I give up.

I think I must dissapoint you, this is what the Unoffical Command Reference says about it:

Command :

DoFollow

Description :

Causes selected unit to follow a unit. Effectively makes him return to formation. This command will not cause him to follow anyone but his leader. Use the Join command to do that.

Syntax :

Unit1 DoFollow LeaderUnit

Unit1 is the unit you want to return to formation.

LeaderUnit is the leader of Unit1

Returns :

N/A

Example :

MyGuy DoFollow leader MyGuy

Notes:

Similar to the CommandFollow command execpt the DoFollow command will not cause the leader to issue a radio command. If Unit1 is a player controled unit, there will be no effect

So he follows the leader, so the civilian must be grouped to the player.

he won't follow using dofollow unless he's in your group

there is a convoy script at ofpec that you might be able to adapt

ok...let me cut to the chase......I want unarmed civilians/restistance/enemy to chase me or follow with issuing them a command. I want to have to run away from them--angry mob type thingie.

Is this possible...yes, the join command works but then I have control over them...I do not want to control them

o crap did it again...

I meant to say..to chase me or follow with without issuing them a command.

Theory coding:

Use a continous script that every once in a while give the ais order to move to players location (quiet move order). They will follow you... if they get to close I suppose your dead anyway, so the thing with them all crowding around you you dont have to worry about.

Thank you all. Is there a command/script to move to players location?

I have the reference manual (not with me here) if I need to find it there.

I MUST HAVE THIS COMMAND
