Need some help

[Aculaud 0]

How do i get a squad of soldiers to attack on my command only? Iv tried using a radio alpha trigger and synching it to their wp, but they still go before i say so.

Use a bool variable

On ur alpha trigger ON ACTIVATION: LaunchAttack = TRUE;

And on your waypoint CONDITION: LaunchAttack = TRUE;

when i try to put LaunchAttack = TRUE; in the condition of my waypoint, it gives me an Unknown operater error message.

UnitName SetCombatMode "Mode"

UnitName is the name of the unit to modify

Mode is the combat mode :

"BLUE"=Never Fire

"GREEN"=Hold Fire

"WHITE"=Hold Fire, Engage At Will

"YELLOW"=Open Fire (stay where you are at)

"RED"=Open Fire, Engage At Will (seek targets but stay near leader)

In a triggers' On Activation field.

yeah, but that doesnt keep them from following their wp, does it? they're still gonna go before i say so, i would think that just a combat mode change would only effect the speed that they get there.

If you want them to stop at a WP, simply sync that WP to a trigger, and when that trigger is activated they will move to their next WP.

= is an assignment operator. Use it when you need to set a variable.

== is a comparison operator. Use it when you need to compare to values.
