Get In the building!! (and stay in)

[Space Cadet 1]

Does anyone know a way of forcing All soldiers in a group into a building, and getting them to stay there.

I'm making a mission where you are part of a force assaulting a town, lots of house to house fighting is needed, but at the moment its all street fighting 'cos I cant get the soldiers into buildings. (or at least to stay in buildings)

I've tried MOVE and GETIN waypoints on the building and selected different positions in the building, but only the leader gets in, the rest of the blokes fan out in formation around the leader (I have left the formation field in the waypoint on no change), so some are in the building and some arn't.

I've also tried the following code

"_x DoMove (GetPos(NearestBuilding _x))" foreach units East1 (My group is called East1)

Again, this works, they all move into the building, but once they have performed the DoMove command, they get back into formation again, leading to the same problem, they fan out around the leader and half the squad get out of the building.

Can I force them to stop when they are in the building, in which case how do I detect that they are in the building? and how whould I get them moving again when needed?

Could I replace the DoMove command above, with some kind of Getin you stupid B*****ds command?

Any help would be great

i noticed a new command in the editor if you make a unit then click a waypoint over a house so it lights up then release and you get a new command menu for differant spots in the house so in a sense you make him move to each room in the house or towers cool thing

BOW YOUR HEAD!!!!

thanks bis

Whats happened to mine. I don't get that. If I click a unit and then click(1x) a waypoint over a house then the focus goes off my guy and nothing happens. If I double-click the house for the waypoint then the same- old happens and I just get the regular waypoint. I have heard this report before ,but Iv'e never actually seen it for myself. I do have 1.30, too. Argg. I try. Nothing happens.

Ok. I got it now. Some buildings won't work I guess simply because they have no way of entering to begin with, duh.

Also one thing to mention to others new to finding this out - the new mention of this is not in a new popup. It is still in the old waypoint window (and it's called "position in house"). That is if your expecting a new tiny window or something to show up from the map view its not like that ; there isn't one.

A good place to start is in Malden in Houdan there are plenty of buildings to try it out on. Thanks russin for pointing out your discovery.

Yeah,

but if you've got a group of 5 men, how do you tell one to get in position 1, another to get in position 2 another in position 3 etc.

I've tried this, and one person does get into the house, but the rest just stand about scratching their ar**s waiting to get shot.

I know that within the game you can command them into the different spots -- so there might be a way to script each soldier to go to the right spot (doMove or something), but I don't know how you'd specify the house positions using that command.

un-group the soldiers and give each unit a waypoint then make then join up later if ya need them as a group
