Hold until not present - move to

[b00tsy 27]

Hi guys, I tried to search for this, but could not find my answer.

I am working on a mission with an objective where you have to capture an opfor base. After the base is captured to want to move stationary air and ground troops at an other location to move to the base and take in positions through a 'not present' trigger. How would I do this? This goes beyond my limited scripting skill unfortunately :)

So to be clear, I have troops at an other locations with set waypoints to the opfor base, but I want the waypoints to stay passive untill the opfor troops in a trigger range are not present.

Hi mate.... try this....

In you OPFOR "NOT PRESENT" trigger make a Global variable that gets set to TRUE when OFFOR are not present. Place it in the OnAct of the trigger.

AttackNow = true;

Give the attacking groups two MOVE waypoints each. One where they are currently waiting to attack.... and one at the point to attack (the trigger).

In the first waypoint for each attacking group add && AttackNow to the Condition.... so we have...

true && AttackNow;

Until AttackNow is true.... the attacking groups cannot advance to the next waypoint.

Hope this helps.
