addwaypoint position

[dragonsyr 21]

i want to add a waypoint in a place without the use of another object ex

_wpfollow = fm addWaypoint [position _helipad, 0];

but something like this

_wpfollow = fm addWaypoint [position {1797.8877,5.5,5777.0903}, 0];

is this possible?

Yes, I think it is this:

_wpfollow = fm addWaypoint [[1797.8877,5.5,5777.0903], 0];

Syntax:

Array = groupName addWaypoint [center, radius] or [center, radius, index]

Parameters:

groupName: Group

[center, radius]: Array

center: Position or Object

index: Number

Return Value:

Array - format Waypoint

Examples

Example 1:

_wp = grp addWaypoint [position player, 0]

Postion is an arrray. Normaly addwaypoint [[x,z,y],0] but i'm not sure. Try it

[dragonsyr 21]

i have this

fmdriver assignAsDriver followme;
[fmdriver] orderGetIn true;
_wpfollow = fm addWaypoint [[1797.8877,5.5,5777.0903], 0];//this is the position of _helipad as i get it from the mission.sqm (position[]={1797.8877,5.5,5777.0903};)
//_wpfollow = fm addWaypoint [position _helipad, 0];
[fm, 2] setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS";
[fm, 2] setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
[fm, 2] setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
waitUntil { (currentWaypoint (_wpfollow select 0)) > (_wpfollow select 1) };
_wpfollow1 = fm addWaypoint [position speakerfm, 0];
[fm, 2] setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS";
[fm, 2] setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
[fm, 2] setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
//[fm, 2] setWaypointType "GETIN NEAREST";
waitUntil { (currentWaypoint (_wpfollow1 select 0)) > (_wpfollow1 select 1) };
[fmdriver] orderGetIn false;

the commented line is the place i want the unit go. with this is working.

but as it is , the unit get in the car, waiting for 4-5secs and get out again....

Try something like this:

_vfm = vehicle fm;
_wpfollow = _vfm addWaypoint [[1797.8877,5.5,5777.0903], 0];

Do not use [fm, 2] unless your absolutely sure that is the correct index. As you have just added the waypoint and you have a reference to it in _wpfollow use that instead.

There is no need for the first waituntil as waypoints are added to the units list sequentially.

What is fm ? You show no code that this is the units group, below i have replaced fm with (group fmDriver).

Heres a quick example of your code with changes that i have just tested in the editor - working.

	fmdriver assignAsDriver car1;
[fmdriver] orderGetIn true;
_wpfollow = (group fmdriver) addWaypoint [[1850.04,5669.85,0], 0];
_wpfollow setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS";
_wpfollow setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
_wpfollow setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
_wpfollow = (group fmdriver) addWaypoint [[1716.58,5698.64,0], 0];
_wpfollow setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS";
_wpfollow setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
_wpfollow setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
waitUntil { (currentWaypoint (_wpfollow select 0)) > (_wpfollow select 1) };
[fmdriver] orderGetIn false;

fmDriver gets in car1 drives to the two waypoints and then gets out. For this type of functionality you dont even need the waituntil (i know i gave you this code in another thread but it was a cover all situation dependant on the code in that thread) instead you can use the setWaypointStatements command instead e.g

	fmdriver assignAsDriver car1;
[fmdriver] orderGetIn true;
_wpfollow = (group fmdriver) addWaypoint [[1850.04,5669.85,0], 0];
_wpfollow setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS";
_wpfollow setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
_wpfollow setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
_wpfollow = (group fmdriver) addWaypoint [[1716.58,5698.64,0], 0];
_wpfollow setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS";
_wpfollow setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
_wpfollow setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
_wpfollow setWaypointStatements ["true", "[fmdriver] orderGetIn false"];

On reaching the waypoint the statement will fire making fmDriver getout of the vehicle

[1797.8877,5.5,5777.0903]

x = 1797.8877

y = 5.5

z = 5777.0903

z would be nearly 6000 meters elevation

to get the correct position use getpos,getpsASL or getposATL

copytoclipboard str getpos obj;

Then you can paste the co-ords in the script example [1596.09,5272.27,0.00143862]

Nice catch Sel didnt notice that

[dragonsyr 21]

fm is the groupname of the unit

in unit init fm=groupthis;

( i thought that the waypoint need only goupnames for working)

and for the coordinates i have there , i get from the mission sqm as i say.....

ok then, i ll try all that you gave me ...

ok i must figure out how can i do that... is a good help for find out the positions that i want to set...

my total script is this and is a test for follow me car in airport (i hope )

_cf = "FlagChecked_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];
_chem = "Chemlight_yellow" createVehicle [0,0,0]; 
//playSound3D [_sdplay5, speakerfm, true, getPos speakerfm, 10, 1, 150];//speakerfm say3D "alarmfm";
fmdriver assignAsDriver followme;
[fmdriver] orderGetIn true;
_wpfollow =  fm addWaypoint [position pad, 0];
if (isNil {missionNamespace getVariable "f_light"}) then
{
follow_m_array = []; // Define once
if ((count follow_m_array) == 0) then
{
_cf attachTo [followme,[ 0,-3,0.5]];
_chem attachTo [followme,[ 0,-3,0.7]];
follow_m_array set [(count follow_m_array), _cf];
 follow_m_array set [(count follow_m_array), _chem];
getPos player;copytoclipboard str getpos obj;
};
missionNamespace setVariable ["f_light", follow_m_array];
};


fmdriver assignAsDriver car1;
   [fmdriver] orderGetIn true;
   _wpfollow = (group fmdriver) addWaypoint [[1802.43,5795.26,0.00143862], 0];
   _wpfollow setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS";
   _wpfollow setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
   _wpfollow setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
waitUntil { (currentWaypoint (_wpfollow select 0)) > (_wpfollow select 1) };
hint"Follow me waiting.....";sleep 2;
   _wpfollow = (group fmdriver) addWaypoint [[1889.53,5716.83,0.00143147], 0];
   _wpfollow setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS";
   _wpfollow setWaypointCombatMode "BLUE";
   _wpfollow setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
   waitUntil { (currentWaypoint (_wpfollow select 0)) > (_wpfollow select 1) };
   hint"Follow me back in place.....";sleep 2;
   [fmdriver] orderGetIn false;  

//[]execvm"atc\followme.sqf";
if (!isNil {missionNamespace getVariable "f_light"}) then {{ follow_m_array = follow_m_array - [_x]; deleteVehicle _x;} forEach follow_m_array; f_light = nil;};

this is it, i post it for you to know excactly what im trying to do..

the car is vehicle="B_MRAP_01_F";

working perfect
