AI Unit join Player, within Distance

[Dyeg0 2]

cool little script to make ai units join you in-game:

 

1. Place your player on the map
2. Place as many AI units you desire
3. Name each the AI unit a specific Variable Name. Example: AIsoldier_1, AIsoldier_2, AIsoldier_3, etc. The Variable Name should be unique and placed in each ai attribute (under Variable Name)
4. Place a no space trigger 

under "Trigger: Expression"
        Condition: 

player distance AIsoldier_1 <2

        On Activation:

[AIsoldier_1] join player;

 

You will have to walk up to the ai unit (within 2 meters according to this script) to have it join your squad.

@Dyeg0,

Check this out,

Spoiler

player spawn { "auto recruit nearby units";
	waitUntil {sleep 1;
		if ( (_this nearEntities ["Man", 3]) - [_this] isEqualTo []) then {false} else {
			private _recruit= ((_this nearEntities ["Man", 3])- [_this]) select 0;
			if (	side _recruit == side _this && group _recruit !=group _this	) then {
				[_recruit] join _this;
				false
			}else{false}
		}
	}
}

Simple recruit addAction,

[player, "Recruit Unit",
    "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
    "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
    "side cursorTarget == side _this && cursorTarget distance _this < 3 && group cursorTarget != group _this", "alive cursorTarget",{},{},{

    params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"];
    [cursorTarget] join _target;

},{},[],2,0,false,true] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd;

 

Have fun!

Into init field of each AI which should join if player gets near:

this setVariable ["saro_joinable", true];

 

set the trigger to:  none, none, repeatable

 

Condition:

not ( (units side player) findIf { _x getVariable ["saro_joinable", false] and { _x distance player < 2 } } < 0 )

 

On Activation:

[] spawn
{
 private _near_men = player nearEntities ["Man", 2];
 private _marked_men = _near_men select { _x getVariable ["saro_joinable", false] };
 private _man = _marked_men select 0;
 _man setVariable ["saro_joinable", false];
 [_man] join player;
};

 

Now if you reach any of the AI which was marked with the init field enrtry it will join players group.

Why naming multiple units? Your code let AISoldier_1 join players group if player is near. nothing else. no reason to name the other AI.

I guess he means that you have to make a trigger for all Ai units (AIsoldier_1, AIsoldier_2, AIsoldier_3)

Hi Sarogahtyp

 

The Condition text give me a error : invalid number in expression.

 

I have take the text and copied it in to notepad ++ 

before taking it to the trigger.

 

can you guide me about what there could be wrong in what i do.

Check the copied condition text for invisible characters or rewrite it manually.
