Stuck with script

[Ex-RoNiN 0]

I have the following script, which gets activated once a trigger gets activated. I have a gamelogic and an empty group that give the created unit/group its name and starting position.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_pos = _this select 0

_groupname = _this select 1

_tank = "AAV7" createvehicle (getpos _pos)

"SoldierWCrew" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "", 0.7, "CAPTAIN"]

"SoldierWCrew" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "", 0.7, "CAPTAIN"]

"SoldierWCrew" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "", 0.7, "CAPTAIN"]

~0.5

((units _groupname) select 0) moveindriver _tank

((units _groupname) select 1) moveincommander _tank

((units _groupname) select 2) moveingunner _tank

exit

I want to expand this now, so that the AAV also has 4 Marine soldiers in its cargo. I experimented with this and tried the following:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_pos = _this select 0

_groupname = _this select 1

_tank = "AAV7" createvehicle (getpos _pos)

"SoldierWCrew" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "", 0.7, "CAPTAIN"]

"SoldierWCrew" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "", 0.7, "CAPTAIN"]

"SoldierWCrew" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "", 0.7, "CAPTAIN"]

"SUCHusmcrifle" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "", 0.7, "LIEUTENANT"]

~0.5

((units _groupname) select 0) moveindriver _tank

((units _groupname) select 1) moveincommander _tank

((units _groupname) select 2) moveingunner _tank

((units _groupname) select 3) moveincargo _tank

exit

This, however, didn't work.

So my questions are this:

1) How do I add soldiers to the cargo of the AAV?

2) Where is the individual units' "init" field?

3) How do I set the entire group's behaviour to "aware"? Is it <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">g1 setbehaviour "aware" after I am finished with adding soldiers to the AAV (g1=groupname)?

4) How do I tell the group to go to the position of unitname and follow unitname wherever unitname goes?

Thanks a lot in advance

Have you tried an simple

me moveInCargo vehicle

e.g.

initline of your soldier

this moveInCargo vehicleAAV

?

If this doesn't work, look in the cfg for the vehicle if there are any cargo spots configured.

2:

"SoldierWCrew" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "This is the initline", 0.7, "CAPTAIN"]

You are correct!

You can also use:

"CARELESS", "SAFE","COMBAT", "STEALTH".

4:

Like this(I think):

(leader group) doFollow (getPos otherUnit)

Hello !

The problem comes from the unit you select when you type :

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">((units _groupname) select 0) moveindriver _tank

((units _groupname) select 1) moveincommander _tank

((units _groupname) select 2) moveingunner _tank

((units _groupname) select 3) moveincargo _tank

Actually, ((units _groupname) select 0) refers to... the gamelogic itself !

Therefore, your vehicle has no driver, and your marine no assignment (as he is in fact ((units _groupname) select 4)).

There are several solutions to fix this, depending on whether you want to call the script several times or not.

As far as I have noticed, the init line of spawned units (which comes right after _groupname and right before 0.7 in your sample) won't work with local variables : you then have to give your tank a global variable name.

Therefore, a simple fix goes as follows :

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_pos = _this select 0

_groupname = _this select 1

tank = "aav7 createvehicle (getpos _pos)

"SoldierWCrew" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "this moveingunner tank", 0.7, "CAPTAIN"]

"SoldierWCrew" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "this moveincommander tank", 0.7, "CAPTAIN"]

"SoldierWCrew" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "this moveindriver tank", 0.7, "CAPTAIN"]

"SUCHusmcrifle" createUnit [(getpos _pos), _groupname, "this moveincargo tank", 0.7, "LIEUTENANT"]

_groupname setbehaviour "aware"

exit

To make the team follow another unit ALL THE TIME, I'd say the best would be to use another script.
