As i could read, the sentry wp you could use

to let units protect objects.

I have not tried yet, but try to place a sentry

waypoint exactly i.e: onto a tank, let the tank

move away and see wot the sentrying units

are doing. Or try the same, but let the sentry

units start a little bit (or far) away from the

tank. Also look what happens if you don't

move the tank, or even if you attack it.

I will also test this for my own, when i return

home from work, and tell ya my results.

SENTRY:

The group will move to the waypoint location, then wait there until they spot an enemy. Once an enemy have been spotted, the group will continue to their next following waypoint.

I tested around a little bit with sentry waypoint.

I placed a 10 men group behind a town and gave

them a sentry waypoint. Then i added a 3 men

group, which made a patrol walk around the town.

The patrol i gave following waypoints: move, move,

move, cycle, guard. Then i added a trigger with a

range covering the area (300/300), EAST detected by

WEST, type switch - i synced this trigger with the

cycle waypoint so that the patrol will automatically

move to the guard waypoint. And now the interesting

thing: i synced the guard waypoint with the sentry

waypoint of the other group and whoop the 10 men

group (which is on sentry) will come to help the

patrol, when they detect EAST soldiers.

When the EAST soldiers were eliminated, the sentry

group returned back to their sentry waypoint.

Interesting. Gotta try that ASAP, but Christmas is getting in the way of my game time. Oh well, there's always next year...

What Chris said works perfectly, tried it myself and it was very cool    East moved towards a town, trigger went off, I spotted one of them with my M21 scope to speed up things, then the patrol came down to help us when the Russians attacked. When the shooting stopped, the very same patrol went over there and checked the area, then reported "Clear" and went back to the guard WP.

Yeah I know this is old stuff but anyway.. it was worth a bump IMO.
