Impact 10 Posted June 18, 2012 Hello, I want to spawn a group of soldiers, and give them a waypoint to go to. This is my code: Blufor_Inf1 = Creategroup WEST; _Leader="USMC_Soldier_TL" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "Blufor_Inf1=this",1,"Sergeant"]; _Unit2="USMC_Soldier_SL" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "Blufor_Inf1=this",1,"Corporal"]; _Unit3="USMC_Soldier_MG" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "Blufor_Inf1=this",1,"Private"]; _Unit4="USMC_Soldier_Medic" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "Blufor_Inf1=this",1,"Private"]; _Unit5="USMC_Soldier" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "Blufor_Inf1=this",1,"Private"]; _Unit6="USMC_Soldier_SL" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "Blufor_Inf1=this",1,"Corporal"]; _Unit7="USMC_Soldier_LAT" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "Blufor_Inf1=this",1,"Private"]; _Unit8="USMC_Soldier_GL" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "Blufor_Inf1=this",1,"Private"]; _Unit9="USMC_Soldier" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "Blufor_Inf1=this",1,"Private"]; Blufor_Inf1_WP = Blufor_Inf1 addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1_WP",0]; exit The units are already spawning, but the waypoint doesn't seem to be set up.

twirly 11 Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Hi mate... try it this way..... Blufor_Inf1 = Creategroup WEST; "USMC_Soldier_TL" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "_Leader=this",1,"Sergeant"]; "USMC_Soldier_SL" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1", Blufor_Inf1, "_Unit2=this",1,"Corporal"]; //blah...blah...blah.... other units spawn here Blufor_Inf1_WP = Blufor_Inf1 addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Inf1_WP",0]; Edited June 18, 2012 by twirly Correction to code Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Impact 10 Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks! This works now. But now I got a different problem, I wanna check if a group is still alive, but it seems that you can only check for individual units. Is that correct or is there another way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikie boy 18 Posted June 19, 2012 you can check with alive _x - foreach group etc - but this will only check those already alive in your group. could try making an array either by naming those in the group or by adding those of the specified group to an array- then check the array.

Impact 10 Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) With "units" I get an array of "Blufor_Inf1", right? ForEach doesn't have any return value, so I can't use it as condition. That is why this won't work. if ({alive _x} forEach units group Blufor_Inf1) then { hint "alive"; } else { hint "not alive"; }; Ah nevermind, got the error. The "group" is too much. It works now.

f2k sel 164 Posted June 19, 2012 This should work just as well. if ({alive _x} count units Blufor_Inf1 == 0) then { hint "not alive"; } else { hint "alive"; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Impact 10 Posted June 19, 2012 I just tried to add some armor groups to the battlefield, are those working different to infantry units? I can't seem to spawn any vehicles with this: Blufor_Sup1 = Creategroup WEST; "LAV25" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Sup1", Blufor_Sup1, "_Leader=this",1,"Sergeant"]; "LAV25" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Sup1", Blufor_Sup1, "_Unit2=this",1,"Sergeant"]; "LAV25" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Sup1", Blufor_Sup1, "_Unit3=this",1,"Sergeant"]; "LAV25" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Sup1", Blufor_Sup1, "_Unit4=this",1,"Sergeant"]; Blufor_Sup1_WP = Blufor_Sup1 addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "Blufor_Sup1_WP",0]; exit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twirly 11 Posted June 19, 2012 Use... createVehicle or createVehicle array. All the Scripting commands can be found here. You don't need the exit at the bottom of your script. That's the older .sqs syntax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Impact 10 Posted June 19, 2012 But in the wiki I read that you can create all the units that are in CfgVehicles, and all the vehicles are part of that. So I have to add crew too, lots of work... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twirly 11 Posted June 19, 2012 You can use the BIS Functions to spawn vehicles.... and infantry for that matter. It's always going to be a lot of work my friend. You will get out of Arma 2 only what you put into it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
