ok i found out the problem, E2 is in a group (E2=group this), now how can I make this work?

[killerwhale 1]

help with this plz, i cant get it to work when the unit being detected is in group, i am getting the error above. if W1 is in a group, it returns the error above

I think knowsabout works on units not groups. So both E2 and W1 need to be units not groups.

[kylania 567]

Are you using E2 as a unit and as a group name? If your unit is named E2 then you should do something like this:

E2Group = group this;

instead of trying to use the same variable for both the unit and the group.

Also, learn SQF. :) It's 2013, it's time to put SQS to bed.

I guess what im trying to do is for E2 to detect any member of the group by using the command knowsAbout. But that isnt working!!! i want the condition to be executed when he knows about any member and not specificaly W1

[kylania 567]

Why not use a detected by trigger?

[killerwhale 1]

it is more realistic, group keeps moving until seen and that is when the fight begins

[kylania 567]

Huh? Give your patrols a bunch of large completion area waypoints. Wrap the whole area with a BLUFOR DETECTED BY OPFOR trigger and done. Patrols keep wandering around till they see someone then they attack. Maybe even have the trigger synched with a cycle waypoint then a seek and destroy waypoint you move to wherever the detected blufor is? What you're trying to do doesn't need to be scripted is all I'm saying. :0
