Becoming a leader

[Skul 0]

I'm creating a mission where I want the player to become the leader of the squad in a vehicle. Like when he enters a 5t Truck, he becomes that squad's leader, or when he enters an M113 he becomes THAT squad's leader. The mission is for variety. You can go in a 5t Truck, an M113 or an M1A1 tank. But I want to know how to make all the mukkas in the vehicle follow me. I forgot the command for this.

TIA

Name the truck, then type this in your player's INIT line:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this moveincommander "mytank"<span id='postcolor'>

You can use this same code for making you or any other unit a gunner or driver

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this moveingunner "myplane"<span id='postcolor'>

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this moveindriver "myhelo"<span id='postcolor'>

I know the movein command. Read the quote.

You can try it with the join commnad

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[mukka1] join player<span id='postcolor'>

I know doing that for every soldier on the group its a pain in the ass; I mean, you should type that command using groups instead of units joining the player, but don't know the propper syntax. Sorry

If you want to detach a group from you, there's no detach command, so you must make them join another unit or group. To prevent useless AI population you can have empty groups. Try this example:

Create a unit somewhere on the map, name it ("empty1" eg) and type on the init field:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Egrp1 = Group This; DeleteVehicle empty1 <span id='postcolor'>

The unit will be removed but the group will remain, so you can use it to attach units.

Hope that helps,
