Is is possible to control ai groups?

Controling AI groups?

Is there any way to set up a multiplayer map so that each side has the ability to control a group of AI tanks? I was thinking of making a 6 ver. 6 map so even if I need to take up a few men from the squad to make this work that would be fine, "I just don’t know how to do it". So once again what I’m saying is, lets say only 4 people were playing on each side, I would like each player in the game to have it’s own AI group of tanks that they could control and direct were to go through out the game?

--?

The ability to command each unit in the group is not important, I more or less just want to be able to tell the group where to go on the map thus letting the commander of that group coordinate it’s actions while still holding it’s position (where I told them to go)?

Advanced Thanks to everyone who can help me...

Yes you can, two main tips for scripting this:

vehicle(leader OneGroup) switchcamera "group"

With this you are in extenal camera ON the leader of OneGroup, you can command all units of your squad, only ONE limitation you can't give directly orders to the leader. For armored it's not a problem cause you have a driver.

But if the leader gets out you can't move your leader, for avoid this you put a WP with false and always show, and you move directly the WP on the map.

For call switchcamera use an action command not the radio, cause the radio create some problem...

I'm sure you can do it cause I've created a MP mission with 2 players with 6 squads each (54 units per camp).

A precision :

If you want directly command the leader : in the bottom

here's a link to a single-player map utilizing the command uiox talked about.

the little command engine that comes with it lets you control a little platoon of 36 soldiers to take a city.

Thanks guys.

One thing though, I’m not really sure what the camaras are used for in the game, or how to even use them for that matter so I’m a little lost as to where to start.

Uiox, I’ll be honest, I don’t know the first thing about scripting.

Everything I've made so far was done with the wizard and I just add add things

hen maybe you should start learning about scripts. try to look for Johan Gustavson's script tutorial, also at OFPEC.

ya I really want to, this game is so..... Worth it!

It's the best game I've ever played besides Unreal and MaxPayne.

I'll take your advice, Thanks
