Lock an AI squad to an object's position

[AnimalMother92 10]

Hi all,

I'm making a combat search and rescue mission where a downed helo (the UH1 wreck model) is spawned randomly within a 200m radius. I want to have a squad (the pilots and marines aboard) to spawn next to the location of the chopper and hold there wherever they start. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I have a mission template on compa where a heli is spwaned with a group of soliders attached to it. I will post when I get a chance.

Perhaps something like this in the init of each soldier?

this setpos [(getpos myCrashedHelo select 0) + (random 20) - 10, (getpos myCrashedHelo select 1) + (random 20) - 10, 0]

This should teleport each soldier to a random position near the chopper. (And maybe sometimes inside the chopper? You'd have to test to see whether this was a big problem or not.)

You got me thinking about this, so I started working on a similar mission. But I'm stuck on how to spawn the wreck. Can anyone suggest a better way to do this than what I have below?

; Generate random positions in 500m diameter from marker1

x = round(random 1000) -500;

y = round(random 1000) -500;

SpawnPos = setPos [ (getPos Marker1 select 0) + x, (getPos Marker1 select 1) +y, (getPos Marker1 select 2) +0.2];

; Create Vehicle at the randomly generated position

wreck = "UH1Wreck" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "Spawnpos");
