How do you sync a scripted trigger to a scripted waypoint?

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to sync a scripted trigger to a waypoint (both created via script) but having problems.

Is this the proper way to do it? 

Trigger:

ambush_civ = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [5828.9,4122.19,12.2957]];
ambush_civ setTriggerArea [96.630, 81.986, 0, false, 5];
ambush_civ setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", false];
ambush_civ setTriggerType "SWITCH";
ambush_civ setTriggerStatements ["this", "", ""];
ambush_civ setTriggerTimeout [20, 20, 20, false];

Waypoint:

_hold_waypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[6125.56,4188.6,0], 0];
_hold_waypoint setWaypointType 'HOLD';
_hold_waypoint setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED";

Sync command: 

ambush_civ synchronizeTrigger [_hold_waypoint];

Since Eden was introduced, you don't sync waypoint to triggers anymore and use 'set waypoint activation' instead. I'm wondering if those commands still work the way they should, or is it just my mistake. Any help would be appreciated.

It works fine what's the issue?

 

I get this assuming  _newGroup  has been defined

 

1. AI moves to the 'HOLD' waypoint until West leave the trigger

 

2. 'HOLD' waypoint is released

 

3. nothing actually happens though as you don't have anything after the 'HOLD' waypoint.

_newGroup is defined. The AI unit won't switch to the next waypoint after the trigger is activated.

Hi Folks,

 

Working on something similar - what if you just deleted the HOLD waypoint - would it then proceed to the next waypoint ?

That does work and so does just using a MOVE WP in some instances.

 

I'm not at the right PC now but I think this was the mission I made with some slight changes using logic as locations.
