Getting a unit to move to another unit

[gunterlund 0]

Working on code to get a carbomb to move to a unit. Im new at this so Im sure something simple is missing. I want the carbomb to move to the unit that triggered the trigger and explode. I can identify the carbomb and the unit but when I trigger the trigger the bomb explodes immediately before it moves. It should explode when the carbomb is within 10 meters of the target. I also get an error on the sleep 0.2 for some reason. Can anyone help

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

; get unit firing trigger and carbomb for trigger

_unitlist = _this select 0;

_unitgroup = _unitlist select 0;

_carbomb = _this select 1;

;set behaviour of bomber

_carbomb setbehaviour "COMBAT";

;set distance between carbomb and target

_meters = (_carbomb distance _unitgroup);

_meters2 = (_carbomb distance _unitgroup)+10;

;move carbomb to target

_carbomb domove (position _unitgroup);

;if carbomber is initially killed blow the car;

if (!alive _carbomb)then

[_carbomb, "Large"] exec "ied.sqs";

else

exitWith{};

;if car within 10 meters of target, blow it

while {alive _carbomb} do

{

if ((_carbomb distance _unitgroup)>10) then

{

sleep 0.2 + random 0.3;

else

[_carbomb, "Large"] exec "ied.sqs";

};

sleep 0.2;

};

ok well you made a big mistakes!

You have mixed .sqs and .sqf

In .sqs you have to add a ; in front of the commant

In .sqf you have to add a // in front of the commant

Take a look at this page .sqs to .sqf

Also compare your script with the one i corrected, you have had missed several braces too!

Okay try this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">// get unit firing trigger and carbomb for trigger

_unitlist = _this select 0;

_unitgroup = _unitlist select 0;

_carbomb = _this select 1;

// set behaviour of bomber

_carbomb setbehaviour "COMBAT";

// move carbomb to target

_carbomb move (getPos _unitgroup);

// if car within 10 meters of target or not alive, then blow it

// Explanation: Do this while loop, till condition match

while {True} do

{

       // Explanation: Exit the script, if car within 10 meters of target or if the car is destroyed/killed, then blow it

       if (((_carbomb distance _unitgroup) < 10) || !(alive _carbomb)) exitWith

       {

               [_carbomb, "Large"] exec "ied.sqs";

       };

       sleep 1;

};

NOTE: You now have to call the script with:

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

nul = [argument] execVM "myscript.sqf" (for SQF scripts)

Becouse it's .sqf

but my original file is an sqs file. do I need to make it an sqf?

[snkman 351]

Yes you have to.

while, exitWith and sleep are commands, which do work in .sqf only!

Simply create a script text file and call it .sqf insted of .sqs and you are ready to go.

Copy and past the code i corrected into the script and it should work.

how bout this in an sqs file?

_unitlist = _this select 0;

_unitgroup = _unitlist select 0;

_carbomb = _this select 1;

;set behaviour of bomber

_carbomb setbehaviour "COMBAT";

; move carbomb to target

#LOOP

_carbomb move (getPos _unitgroup);

_meters = (_carbomb distance _unitgroup);

player sideChat format["_meters = %1", _meters];

~ 2

?_meters < 10:goto "LOOP";

[_carbomb, "Large"] exec "ied.sqs";

[snkman 351]

Yes sure this would work too.

But you have to change the condition to:

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

?_meters > 10:goto "LOOP";

Becouse the script should loop till the bomb is within the 10 meters.
