Recommended Posts

I have searched but cant find anything really useful, and i cant find anything like this! crazy.gif

can any1 help me with getting a squad to move and halt on radio commands? confused.gif

something like this;

Alpha squad - Move

Alpha squad - Halt

Bravo squad - Move

Bravo squad - Halt

Something similer to the convoy missions in the campaign & single player mission...

Also how do you change the routes just like in those missions?

For changing routes, I think you use the setWPPos command.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">wapoint setWPPos position

Operand types:

wapoint: Array

position: Array

Compatibility:

Version 1.21 required.

Type of returned value:

Nothing

Description:

Set waypoint position. Waypoint is in format Waypoint. Position is in format Position2D.

Example:

[groupOne, 1] setWPPos getMarkerPos "MarkerOne"<span id='postcolor'>

Place your unit on map and name it. I'll use name, unit1 for this.

Place MOVE waypoint(s).

Make a trigger ( a and b axis = 0).

For Activation: Radio Alpha

Condition: alive unit1

On Activation: unit1 stop true

Make another trigger ( a and b axis = 0).

For Activation: Radio Bravo

Condition alive unit1

On Activation: unit1 stop false

Ingame, hit 0-0-1 to stop the unit / 0-0-2 to move the unit

Hope this helps Bad Ass

Hi all

BAD ASS JACK Why not just use our command engine?

That is why we made it and BIS put the onMapSingleClick event in for us.

The Command Engine allows you to control up to a light Battalion.

There are several examples of a platoon level missions as you seem to be describing in your post. The site has several ready built example ORBATs (TOEs) for you to use so you can concentrate on mission design.

There is a full plyer manual in HTML and PDF formats and an editor manual in Word/RTF and PDF formats. So if you need to build from scratch you can.

There are several missions to play of platoon, company and even light battalion level. Most of the new version is point and click and dialogues.

Give it a try either click my sig to go straight to the CoC site or go to OFPEC in the Editing section look at http://www.ofpec.com/editors/CoC.php

Kind Regards walker

Hi

Are you talking about MP if so the short answere is no; radio and MP is a mess of trouble, it is why in the next version of the Command Engine (CE3) we will try to make a version with no radio commands.

If your talking about SP why?

There seems no logical reason for this as the AI does not access the radio commands AFAIK.

Kind Regards walker
