Raven's FormPatrol 1.0 Script

[Raphier 0]

So I wanted to have patrolling squads moving on my mission, and I decided yo use this script

from here:

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=3495

After pondering how to use this script,I think I solved where everything needs to be placed, but my problem is in the patrol itself, which just doesn't spawn. At all.

This here, is my INIT.sqf

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

handCreateAll = compile preprocessFile "CreateAll.sqf";

handFormPatrol = compile preprocessFile "FormPatrol.sqf";

_handler = [Uralcar1, West, East, [10, 30, 10], [2, 5], "Man", [3, 3],

0.5, ["ACE_OfficerE","ACE_SoldierEB","ACE_SoldierEB"], "aware", "normal", "C"]

spawn handFormPatrol;

Also in the map editor I have made an object named Uralcar1.

Am I missing something?  

Thanks in advance!

Hi.

Remember CreateAll.sqf need to define the relationship between the sides before the creation of groups or FormPatrol.sqf wait indefinitely.

Then should invoke CreateAll.sqf with the parameter SETSIDES previously.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">handCreateAll  = compile preprocessFile "CreateAll.sqf";

handFormPatrol = compile preprocessFile "FormPatrol.sqf";

_handler = ["setsides",[west],[east]] spawn handCreateAll;

waituntil {scriptdone _handler};

_handler = [Uralcar1, West, East, [10, 30, 10], [2, 5], "Man", [3, 3], 0.5, "ACE_OfficerE","ACE_SoldierEB","ACE_SoldierEB"], "aware", "normal", "C"] spawn handFormPatrol;

Oddly enought it works now, thank you, BUT the patrol seems to ignore their enemies, they just pass them, like the enemies aren't actually present.

Please ckeck relationship between the sides.

(Any problem send me your mission to canoalej@hotmail.com).
