Having patrols and convoys moving without stop..

[Abdul-Fattah Abu Mahir 10]

Good evening everyone,

I've got a small question, probably quite easy to do, but I just don't know how (yet):

let's say I have a platoon and I want them to patrol a certain area. How do I do this? I can give them a lot of "Move" waypoints of course, but that's no solution: it doesn't look nice in the editor and sometime they'll stop patrolling.

So how exactly do I get a platoon to patrol a certain area again and again and again?

Then, there's another thing. I don't like to do one single mission and then quit, I rather have a lot of things to do, like free the whole island, so that it is a real challenge. Now, I really like to ambush convoys. So let's say I want to do this:

I want to conquer, let's say, 4 cities, and I want to attack 3 convoys.

Then I have the chance that the convoy has stopped by the time I get there =p So isn't there a way I can just have a convoy moving from A to B and then back from B to A and ...... go on that way? =)

Thanks already!

This is where the "Cycle" waypoints are useful. Sanctuary has explained how to use them here. That post also explains how to break that cycle looping, if you for some reason would like them to go somewhere else at some point. If that post isn't clear enough, try searching the forums for "cycle waypoint". I believe the usage of it has been explained a plenty of times already.
