Time a group of enemy units to attract a location?

[starstreams 0]

I’ve searched this forum and Avon lady’s as well as a few other sites.

Would someone be able to post a few steps to get a set of units to move into a location but not right way, I would like them to start moving 30 min's after the game has started? I "do" know how to use way points to make them move to a location and attack but can I set a time on that or do I need to do something special?

Thanks ahead!

OK, let's say you want SquadA to be waiting at the

location, where it starts and after 30 minutes,

they should move to a waypoint.

Create SquadA

Place a waypoint (very close to SquadA or even exactly

onto the leader of the squad).

Put into the waypoint's timeout fields:

Max: 1800 / Min: 1800 / Average: 1800

Then place another waypoint to where the squad should

move after 30 minutes, and it works.

:note - if you want the squad to do nothing than waiting

at the first waypoint, change the behaviour settings to:

careless, and at the second waypoint change it again

to whatever you want: (e.g: aware)

The value 1800 are seconds. - hint: 60x30=1800

Max = the max-time (in seconds) the unit/squad should

wait at the waypoint, Min = min-time, and average = yep

it's the average time to wait there.

One more thing: a unit/squad will use the settings like behaviour, speed, combat-mode, formation of the waypoint,

to which it is moving actually, while the timeout will be

counted from that time, when the unit/squad has reached

the waypoint.

hope this helps

Very very good explanation DV Chris Death, Thanks.

I love when people give detailed info as you did, it is greatly appreciated!

As a matter of fact, this post should go in a special section of the forum, kind of like a (Faq's) section. I'm sure there are tons of new guys like me that could use this info

Thanks!
