Moving end point?

[BlackbirdSD 15]

How do I randomly move an end point trigger for a multiplayer mission and have it show up on the map?  Can the trigger move with an object like getpos?  Currently I have a end trigger around a flag.  I want the trigger and flag to move randomly and have the map display the location.

Thanks

You can move (setPos) a trigger like any object.

How does that work?  Also how will it show up on the map?  How do you join the trigger to a physical object like a flag so the player sees it?

Thanks

Place a small stone or small rock on the map.  Arrange it so that it always appears at a random place.

 

Trigger 1:  Walk through this trigger.  The trigger has two commands:

1 -  trigger2  setpos  getpos   rock1

2 - Coloured marker 1  setpos  getpos  rock1

 

In effect, trigger 2 will always start at a random place and a marker appears over trigger 2

How do you want it to move "randomly?" To one of a number of specified locations? To any location within a specified area? Anywhere on the map?

 

Regardless, you'll need three things placed in the editor 

1. A trigger - variable name "trigger_01" for this example
2. A flag - variable name "flag_01" for this example
3. A marker - variable name "marker_01" for this example

Place all three at your preferred starting position.

 

To move all three to a new position (however this is derived - see beginning of this reply), we do something like this:

//move trigger
trigger_01 setPos _pos;

//move flag and make upright
flag_01 setPos _pos;
flag_01 setVectorUp [0,0,1];

//move marker
"marker_01" setMarkerPos _pos;

How and where we run this code depends on how and why you want the objects to move. I assume you want this to happen at the beginning of the mission?

We are left with two questions:

1. How "random" do you want your position to be
2. When do you want the objects to move
