Possible to let AI-units have several different waypoint paths?

[majorexperimental 3]

Hello! A question; Is it possible to let a AI-unit have several different waypoint paths with where each path has it's own trigger. This would be useful when the unit should be sent to a specific area at trigger release. Is this possible?

Just assign them to a different group?

Naa... I dont want to spam the map with more troops.

Another solution would be if the idle AI-unit could be directed to the area where the trigger was released (sort of a guard-alarm-concept)...

or you could actually make a script with triggers? Would you like that?

and your other solution u need script for that and i dont know how to script arma 3 i only know how to script at arma 1 arma 2 and ofp

You could make a funktion that gets the triggername as a argument.

Then you use getPosATL for the trigger position and set your units to moveTo or doMove to that position.

E: Scripting did not change in Arma 3, there are just some new Commands that has been added ;)

for that u need cris ofp script editor some where at the google hard to find it

OK lets do this (MAY NOT WORK)

Place a trigger

init for trigger:

_way1 = execVM "waypoint1.sqf";

place like a file or something where you want them to move call it way1

waypoint1.sqf:

GROUPNAME doMove getMarkerPos "way1";

then rinse and repeat but this may not work, it is off the top of my head

It only deals with two different waypoints but the concept is the same.
