Convoy through city

[Psilocybe 3]

Hi guys.

So I just downloaded the molatian militia addon and it got me hungry for some BHD fun in either falujah or perhaps Porto, of course some waypoints will leave a lot to be desired.

Unless I'm mistaken, unitcapture is only really for flyers so I guess I can rule that out, is there any way I can get the convoy to keep on trucking at all costs through a hostile city?

By the way I did attempt to search for this with no luck.

Hi,

Well I used the DTM convoy manager for MCC. It's working great the convoy will keep on moving even unfer fire but if the lead vehicle is down they will disambark and negotiate.

Ps setCaptive will work for any unit.

// example using only controlscript with vehicles and named on the map: 	
// veh1:	first vehicle nothing

Thanks for the swift reply I'll give it a shot!
