Capturing an AI

[Lq.Snake 10]

Is there a way to set an AI to be capturable by simply using a command?

What I've done so far is create a .sqf file that looks like this:

capture.sqf

//Simple capture script

[officer1] join group1;

player1 removeAction 0;

f2 removeAction 0;

f3 removeAction 0;

f4 removeAction 0;

f5 removeAction 0;

Of course, there is a trigger in the mission with a blufor present condition where the ON ACT field reads: player1 addAction ["Capture officer", "capture.sqf"];

But what I want is, only trigger the addAction command when near the officer(AI). I've tried using the nearestobjects command in another .sqf file:

if (count (nearestObjects [officer1, ["USMC_Soldier"], 1]) > 0) then

{

capture = player1 addAction ["Capture officer","capture.sqf"];

};

But for some reasons, it does not work. I also tried changing "USMC_Soldier" to "man" and it triggered the addAction command but it did it wherever I was in the map not just when I'm near the officer. Can someone help me out?

Why not using:

//--- player1's near officer1 (10 meters radius).
(player1 distance officer1) < 10

that's a good question... why am I over complicating things? HAHA

Thanks, Benny. That's so much more simpler. I can put that command in just one trigger and it works perfectly. But now, I'm having trouble removing the action if the player1 is a distance greater than 2. This is what I've tried:

First, I set a trigger to add the action as stated above:

Condition: (player1 distance officer1) < 2;

On Act. : capture = player1 addAction ["Capture Officer","capture.sqf"];

Then, I set a trigger to remove the action if greater than 2 meters:

Condition: (player1 distance officer1) > 2;

On Act. : player1 removeAction capture;

Nothing happens... it adds the action but does not remove!

Edit: Nevermind... I set the activation to ONCE instead of REPEATEDLY. Now, works perfectly! Thanks, again for the quick response! I hope this thread will help someone in the future.
