EL Presidente 0 Posted August 8, 2007 your squad member you control by pushing F2,F3,F4,F5 and so on.. Is it possible to make them groupleaders so they can have a group on there own - so when you order you squad member F2 to move you actually move a whole group.. like you are an officer controlling 12 - 20 groups ? hope you know what I mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Captain 0 Posted August 8, 2007 It's possible by having "dummy" units under your command, and getting an actual group to follow them. When you order the dummy unit to move, you can get the "expected destination" using the arma scripting command, and order the real group to move there, while at the same time repositioning the dummy unit to always be at the location of the real group. It would proably be doable with some workaround scripting. I had a similar script set up for OFP, but since there was no way to get the expected destination of a unit, it was pretty buggy. In practice though, it was hard to play, because it was difficult to control so many units and have any control over the battle. Once a squad or two was engaged, it was hard to influence their fighting in any way.. basically once you moved your groups into combat, it was like "wind em up and let em go" when you had 6-8 groups. They would either win a firefight or die before you could get them to disengage and move elsewhere... and even if you did, they'd usually die in the process. Futility! Still fun though.

dr_eyeball 16 Posted August 9, 2007 There's no simple built-in feature like this, except to use the coloured groups, which is limited to 5 groups. A few people are working on commanding systems which might be related to what you're requesting: 1) I'm working on I.C.E. (integrated command environment (was LCS)). Screenshot - command module Screenshot - commanding via radio via menus 2) dznemesis was working on a particular system called Strategy Mode. 3) Apparently Command Engine 2 (CE2) is being worked on, but I've heard no official word or progress on it. 4) Some missions, like KPCTI, have limited AI group control to simply move them via map clicks. Not aware of any others. You'll probably have to wait until one of them is finished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
