tank and aircraft problems

[Shinkansen 0]

Hi, a lot of questions:

Tank:

- my tank doesn't show tracks on the ground when driving over the landscape, what have i forgotten?

- the tank (ww1 Mark I) has one pair of wheels seperated behind the main tank as a following limber. the wheels are rotating very fast.

- the tank has no hatches on the roof where a man could get out, how to disable that command from the action menu?

Scripting problem:

- I want to fire of a "scan horizont" command via script, how to do?

Scripting problem in mission

- Airplanes: I want to let one airplane hunt another, I used a trigger with condition plane01 in this list, activation exec script;

script;

#start

plane01 domove getpos plane02

goto start

this doesn't work for planes, why?

youve forgotten the memory points

how do you mean? thye rotate faster than the actual tank tracks themselves or?

i think this must be done using a script, im not entirely sure, ill have a look if it can be done config wise

Believe the command cant be issued to AI, so the below script is the next best thing.

Quote[/b] ]; AI Scan Horizon by Gnat

; USE, eg in INIT

; [this, 12] exec "scan.sqs"

; >12< is number of secs between a facing change

; uses toadlife's WatchDirection function: See OFPEC.com

?!(local server) : exit

_unit = _this select 0

_wmax = _this select 1

; set the behaviour (your choice, manual)

_unit SetCombatMode "RED"

_unit SetBehaviour "COMBAT"

_unitX = _unit

; is there a gunner in the object ... then select just him.

?alive(gunner _unit) : _unitX = (gunner _unit)

; if this is not a "man" and there is no gunner ..... exit

?("Man" counttype [_unit] != 1) AND (!alive(gunner _unit)) : exit

; main loop ... exit when the man/gunner dies

#A

?!alive _unitX : goto "UDead"

_ww = random _wmax

; wait a random time

~ _ww

; Select a random direction

_wd = random 360

[units _unitX, _wd] call WatchDirection

goto "A"

#UDead

;hint "Scan Dead"

exit

Hi, thank you very much for advice and script, I will try this. The first "bug" with the tracks was a very easy one, I have disabled it via the option menue.
