Making AI do things ...

[steelblood 10]

Hi

I know i probably should have come up with a better title for the thread but ohwell. I was wondering is there a way to make AI do certain things.

A.) Use a seek and destroy waypoint but only destroy certain units.

B.) Make AI use binoculars and simply keep using them (It's for a mission purpose)

I know i haven't posted in a while, this is because i haven't been making any missions but i've got a plan for a big mission and i need your help to make it

Thanks alot

Dan

PS. This is Arma 2 not OA just incase any codes are specifically for OA.

Not really sure about coding but for the seek and destroy waypoint you can manually target certain things. For an example, if you were hunting tanks and part of an AT team, you can set your team to 'hold fire' and then select individual units by using F2, F3, F4.. etc. and have them each target different sets of armor. Once they've locked on, switch from 'hold fire' to 'open fire' and they should all engage.

As for making them use binoculars, you can select the unit and set them to 'scan horizon' (make sure you're facing the direction you want them to scan when selecting it) and they usually use their binoculars if they have them in their inventory.

Hope that helps a little bit.

Hmmm sorry dude i'm talking about the mission making side of things not the actual playing of the game. So for example i have an AI placed in the mission who is just constantly looking through his binoculars.

Thanks anyway
