AI surrender when down to last few units

[Medicare 0]

I'm always reluctant to start new threads, but I have searched hard and not found anything similar to this. So I seek wisdom from the Guru's

I hate co-ops where the humans playing spend the last 15 minutes of a given mission running around trying to find that last pesky opfor who is lying halfway in a staircase somewhere obscure, so they can finish the mission.

I am looking for a script that makes it so when the enemy is down to their last say.. 3 guys, those ones will surrender and walk out with their hands on their heads to a central location. And when they all get there, the mission is succesfully completed.

I have managed to sort a script that counts the enemy units in play, and I have sorted the surrrender script, I just need to sus the code that will execute that script when there is only 3 enemy left.  Furthermore, I would like it to create the final meeting waypoint when the script is triggered, and send them there.   From my reading, I see that "captured" units don't set off triggers anymore, so I assume this script will also need to know that they have reached their surrender waypoint, so it can trigger the mission end.

Its important to note, that the last 3 units may not all be from the same original group, so I can't limit the script to one group or another.  Not sure if that matters..

All assistance appreciated.

Edit, I just realised it will be hard for the script to know where best to place the surrender RV waypoint, so perhaps it should simply point to a predefined marker instead.

Medi, I've posted in your thread on the ArmA Australia forum. We should be able to sort something out fairly easily.

If you want to check out how others have set it up SNKMAN's Group Link 2+ scripts (see here )have a surrendering script built in but its probably over kill for your needs.

How about a trigger that covers the area of interest that is able to count all the East in thisList and initiate the surrender when the count < 4?

*edit*

For the where-to-surrender issue, either use the location of the trigger or arrange a message to be broadcast that tells everyone where the center of surrender will be (and where the prisoners will head for). You could make this dynamic by choosing the location of a random East AI so that the other 2 are the only ones moving. Pop up the info as co-ords.

Man, this would be handy..... all those 3AM mission where entire squad is looking for an enemy that has wandered into a rock formation with noclipping

Hi

It isn´t especially for your request but a possibility of surrender. It´s only a beta but works great.

Mr-Murray´s capitulation example

I've found a way to create a trigger every X amount of time (in my mission like every 5 minutes) that checks how many bad guys out there and then acts accordingly. This is a demo:

Thanks for all the replies, you guys have given me plenty to go on. I will spend some time reading and testing. I will post back with the solution I end up using.

Cheers,
