Suicidal AI

[kentrel 1]

I've made a rooftop extraction script with the Player as pilot. Pretty basic. Units spawn on rooftops, player rescues them.

This works well for buildings that have a BuildingPos on the roof. The AI will walk around the various positions, go up and down steps if necessary, and then get in the chopper.

For buildings without a BuildingPos on the roof, like most Arma 2 buildings they walk off trying to board the chopper. No combination of stances or waypoints solves this as buildingPos seems to be essential for pathfinding.

Now, I could probably solve this by keeping the DoStop command active, and using a MoveInCargo command, but I think its more imersive for the player to watch the AI moving about to get onboard.

Is there another way that I haven't thought of to prevent AI walking off the roofs of those particular buildings? An invisible bounding box or something like that?

Long ago I copied this down from somewhere. It creates invisible walls:

BIS_fence1 = createVehicle ["InvisibleFence3", getpos gamelogic, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
BIS_fence2 = createVehicle ["InvisibleFence2", getpos gamelogic, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

This code is merely a guideline for you to experiment with. I have *never* tried it.
