Pilot joining the rescuers...

[dale0404 5]

Peeps,

I am in the process of making a mission where you have to find a pilot and escort him to the extraction point.

However to make it more interesting the pilot can be in any one of 6 positions on the map.

The question is how do I make the pilot join the group once I find him?

Cheers

Dale

Use the waypoint "join" or "join and lead"

yep cheers gents but isnt working.

This is what I have in a trigger that covers all possible positions of the pilot:

Condition: {_x distance pilot < 3} count playableunits > 0

Activation: [pilot] join team1;

Shouldn't this work?

ryguy.

I don't down where the pilot is until I search all 6 possible locations so how would a waypoint work?

Fixed it sort of, I added a 'addaction' command for the pilot to follow me.

Which leads onto, how do I remove the 'Follow me" command once the pilot has joined my group?

cheers

just issue a pilot domove (getPos player) instead of follow and pilot will move to your position and then join into formation

use distance checks and repeat domoves if players are moving fast away from position.

I think the waypoint is anchored to the player no matter what.

{_x distance pilot < 3} count playableunits > 0

Is absolutly correct... but you have to test it in Multiplayer Editor. playableUnits only works in MP, not in SP.

;)

You can use it in both modes with:

{_x distance pilot < 3} count playableunits + [player] > 0
