Generate convoy for 3D positioning - Script

[Coladebote 46]

Hi guys:

 

With this script I have managed to form a convoy of 6 vehicles.

 

if (!isServer) exitWith {}; 

// CONVOY //

private _myNewArray = _myArray;
_myArray set [1, "_convoy_6"];
_myNewArray select 1;

 

Units 1 and 6: armored vehicles.

units 2, 3, 4 and 5: ammunition trucks.

The convoy is approximately 150 meters long.

 

The script works perfectly.

 

Although it could be debugged using a WP block for all vehicles and reduce the length of the convoy, shortening the distance between vehicles.

I have used "forceSpeed" because limitSpeed "does not respond.

 

I pass a link with the image of the convoy underway and another with the demo mission.

Clarification:

I have made several convoys in the editor, placing the vehicles on the map. But generating the units by script no.

 

I am sure it can be improved.

 

Thanks.

interdasting!   I will have to see if I can mod this to take custom position arguments and custom vics

The script fulfills the function that I wanted. It is one of the objectives of my next mission. The convoy must be destroyed with explosive charges. When the explosives specialist accesses the road point where the convoy is to circulate, the trigger is activated with a delay of a certain time, 10 or 15 minutes, as necessary. Explosive charges are installed, taking into account that the length to be covered is 150 meters. When the convoy passes the detonator is activated.

Each vehicle has its own name so that when they are destroyed, the activator jumps (! Alive convoy_1;! Alive convoy_2;! Alive convoy_3;! Alive convoy_4;! Alive convoy_5;! Alive convoy_6;). This completes the first objective of the mission.

My knowledge is scarce, but if I can clarify something about this particular script, count on it.
Have fun.
