convoy

[erore 0]

I am trying to make a convoy, three UAZs. I want to have them independent, as I do not want anyone to be in charge and give orders to the other two UAZs.

But one UAZ keeps behaving as if the driver was drunk. One the middle car always turns left and instead of following the road, it goes offroad and goes to the waypoint. All of them are the same UAZs (the same rank, skill, no formation...

So how do I make a convoy where the cars are independent of each other, i.e. no one is giving orders?

You need bigger distances so they won't interfere with each other.

But if you want them to drive as real convoy, someone has to be in command so you're able to set column formation.

In the moment you need it, you are still able to delete the grouping:

"_x join grpNull" foreach in jeep1

"_x join grpNull" foreach in jeep2

"_x join grpNull" foreach in jeep3

OK, I grouped them. Now the vehicle that should be in the middle keeps changing position with the last one (have 3 UAZs). I thought the problem might be as there is a soldier with the highest rank. But if I lower it (to the same level as the others or even lower), it is all the same. What could cause that problem?

Thank you very much.

Start with empty vehicles and the group disembarked. Then place them in the "right" order with a script.

In this example the group is named convoy (in the leaders init: convoy = group this)

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">(convoy select 0) moveindriver UAZ1

(convoy select 1) moveindriver UAZ2

(convoy select 2) moveindriver UAZ3

(convoy select 3) moveincargo UAZ1

(convoy select 4) moveincargo UAZ1

(convoy select 5) moveincargo UAZ1

(convoy select 6) moveincargo UAZ2

(convoy select 7) moveincargo UAZ2

(convoy select 8) moveincargo UAZ2

(convoy select 9) moveincargo UAZ3

(convoy select 10) moveincargo UAZ3

(convoy select 11) moveincargo UAZ3

This way they are always placed in the chain of command of the moment (0=highest rank/in command). Setting up the cargo like above makes the convoy more stable, too.

Also set their formation to "column" and have their speed set to normal.

Oh, and set behaviour to safe or careless.
