Groups Tool(F2) sergeant -> private

[SysterYster 10]

Tried to make a sergeant(AI) follow a private(Player), with the groups tool.

I.e hold left mouse button and drag from sergeant to private and i have a thin light blue line.

He doesn't seem to follow though.

Maybe someone knows how the sergeant can be made to follow the private or in any case make a higher ranking unit to follow a lower ranking unit?

SysterYster - help needed!

make a higher ranking unit to follow a lower ranking unit?

Not possible. The soldier with the highest rank is always group leader.

[AZCoder 921]

group player selectLeader player

That will override the natural ranks.

Thanks for the help!

But i don't know if it will do it, because i was thinking of having a sergeant i the group to make quick AI battle decisions for me(pick targets for ai group members, and other things, such as heal commands to the medic etc.

Seems as if i just promote myself to groupleader with that piece of code.

But perhaps there is some other way - if you know one - please reply!

Regards.

Let me get this straight, you want to lead but not being bothered with commanding AI?

It's impossible.

Found this in the comref...was gladly inspired to look at it!.

unit enableAI section

code:

soldierOne enableAI "Move" 

Description:

Enables parts of the AI behaviour. Section is one of "TARGET" (enables watching assigned targets), "AUTOTARGET" (enables independed target assigning and watching of unknown targets) or "MOVE" (enables movement).

Could be a way to accomplish the wanted game behaviour.

BUT in the section part of the code bit there is no way to enable issuing "heal commands", perhaps someone nows what to do?
