Dowatch Object

[A320 0]

Hello everyone,

I have recently purchased Armed Assault and upon creating a mission I came across a small problem.

I have placed a few squads to defend a town with a few soldiers patrolling and the rest standing in position (untill they start moving around when an enemy comes a long). However before they get disrupted when the enemy attempts to take the town, I would like them to look/watch in a certain direction.

With Operation Flashpoint I could use the DoWatch (Object 5137) command in the Initialization field of the unit. This does not appear to work in Armed Assault.

I have tried many combinations based on threads in forums that I have read, such as using 'NearestObject' instead of just 'Object' or 'DoWatch (getpos (object 5137))' but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

I couldnt get doWatch to work with ArmA either. The only simliar comand that wroked was doFace.

unit(s) lookAt position

You can have a whole group looking at _whatever when u write in the groupleaders init:

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

this doWatch player

and

this doWatch ((getPos this) nearestObject 1057)

both work as expected when put in the init line of a soldier.
