How can you setup a trigger to switch particular infantry groups back into Safe and limited speed if that group is not moving for 60

Hello I am trying to get UPMONS and UPS working a little better with infantry groups.  I was just wondering if there is a code that I could but into a trigger that covers my AO that would switch particular units back into SAFE  behavior and LIMITED speed for groups of units for example patrol 1 patrol 2 and patrol 3 and patrol 4 if the group is not moving after 6O seconds.  

 

This has been an issue with these two scripts for a while once a group goes into combat once contact has been made or know information of enemy units the groups will never go back into safe or limited speed again.

I think I could use this as a first part. But now how can I see if a group has a waypoint still attached or how can I issues this command from a trigger setup ?

 

{ _x setCombatMode "COMBAT"; _x setSpeedMode "FULL"; } forEach [group1, group2, group3];

,{ _x setCombatMode "BLUE"; _x set behavior"SAFE"; setSpeedMode "LIMITED"; } forEach [group1, group2, group3];

 

 

Not working ?

{
	_x setCombatMode "BLUE";
	_x set behavior"SAFE";  //  should be setBehaviour, need space between setBehaviour and "SAFE"
	setSpeedMode "LIMITED";  // no magic variable _x
} forEach [group1, group2, group3];

So:

{
	_x setCombatMode "BLUE";
	_x setBehaviour "SAFE";
	_x setSpeedMode "LIMITED";
} forEach [group1, group2, group3];

//single line:

{_x setCombatMode "BLUE";_x setBehaviour "SAFE";_x setSpeedMode "LIMITED";} forEach [group1, group2, group3];

@Harzach thanks for the correct syn text for that part. How would I call this in if the group are not actively moving ie having a waypoint generated issued or attached to it. What would I ever look at to put into the trigger condition ?

You could check their current waypoint type against an array of unwanted types, something like:

_groups = [group1, group2, group3];			//  define arrays at top for easy editing
_typeArray = ["MOVE","CYCLE"];				//  add wp types that you want to check for

{
	_index = currentWaypoint _x;			//  get index of current waypoint
	_type = waypointType [_x, _index];		//  get type of current waypoint
	if !(_type in _typeArray) then			//  if type is not in _typeArray, then do the things
	{  
		_x setCombatMode "BLUE";
		_x setBehaviour "SAFE";
		_x setSpeedMode "LIMITED";
	};
} forEach _groups;

Sort of tested.

You could try something like that:

{
 _x addEventHandler ["KnowsAboutChanged", {
     params ["_group", "_targetUnit", "_newKnowsAbout", "_oldKnowsAbout"];
    if (_targetUnit inArea yourAO && _newKnowsAbout < 0.5) then {
       _group setBehaviourStrong "SAFE";
    };
   }];
} forEach [grp1,grp2,grp3];

 

or, probably more reliable

{
  _x addEventHandler ["CommandChanged", {
    params ["_group", "_newCommand"];
    if (_newCommand in ["NO CMD","MOVE","WAIT"]) then {
      _group setBehaviourStrong "SAFE";
    };
  }];
} forEach [grp1,grp2,grp3];

 

seems not too bad at test.
