    Thank you Demonized, will try both those today. Another observation I made is the VBIED seems to move to the starting location of the enarest BLUFOR and sit there, I don't think it's actually chasing it's targets?

    Need to test this more, but noticed last night. Origianaly I thought it was working fine, but that's because I was playing as the nearest BLUFOR but was just sitting still waiting for it to arrive.

    Demonized, I got it work but is there a way to either:

    a) make the VBIED unit stay in place untill triggered by BLUFOR present with a Hold Waypoint & Switch trigger or

    b) change the distance between the VBIED unit and the nearest BLUFOR unit to less than 99999 so that BLUFOR has to get close before the VBIED goes into action?

    Right now, no matter where my units are, as soon as the mission is previewed, the VBIED begins his hunt for a target.

    quick and dirty example, will drive towards any bluefor unit wich is nearest not caring if he drive on roads or offroading.

    1: place in init or run on the VBIED unit.

    _null = [this] execVM "[b]scriptName.sqf[/b]";

    2: save this as scriptName.sqf:

    _drv = driver (_this select 0);
_noBoom = true;
_dist = 999999;
_target = _drv;
_pos = [];

while {_noBoom} do {
{
	if (side _x == west AND (_x distance (vehicle _drv)) < _dist) then {
		_pos = getPos _x;
		_target = _x;
	};
} foreach allUnits;
_drv doMove _pos;
waitUntil {sleep 1; (_target distance _pos) > 10 OR (_drv distance _target) < 3 OR unitReady _drv};
if (alive _drv AND (_drv distance _target) < 3) then {_noBoom = false};
_dist = _drv distance _target;
};

_drv execVM "[b]yourKaboomScript[/b]";

    Thanks Demonized, I will try this. Just to clarify the only portion of that script I need to edit is the section I've bolded ("yourKaboomScript") correct?

    Optionally I could edit the other 2x sections bolded at the top "scriptName"

    Does that make sense?

    Thanks

    I would like to have a VBIED chase BLUFOR units once they have moved into a trigger area.

    So far I have found other peoples scripts to:

    -detonate VBIEDs inside a trigger area

    -detonate VBIEDS when they take fire / damage

    I see that you can give a JOIN waypoint to an OPFOR vehicle and make it follow a BLUFOR, but I'd like the VBIED to just drive towards all the BLUFOR in the trigger area, and try to get close before detonating.

    Something tells me I will be attaching a trigger to the VBIED to detonte on proximity (BLUFOR present) but it's the chasing part that has me stumped?

    I am using a Soundblaster Audigy sound card with latest driver, albeit a 2009 driver, but still the latest on the Creative Support site.

    When I am in game I am experiencing a loss of certain sound effects, most notably vehicles, when I turn away from them.

    Say I am standing just off to the side of a hovering chopper. Then sounds from the chopper are present when looking at the chopper or just to it's left right, but when I turn away from it, the chopper sounds drop out as though it's not even there.

    Thoughts?

    I realize I need to find a group of like minded players to enjoy this game to it's fullest.

    Have been playing BF2:PR for a few years and consider myself quite capable.

    Hoping some PR skills will transfer over to ARMA2, and I think they will.

    Looking forward to the scale of ARMA2, and I'd like to see what groups are out there for an old guy like me (33yrs old) who wants to commit to realism gaming but might not be able to make every practice / training sessions every week at the same time.

    I game every week at some point, but it's hard to predict when. Some weeks I might play 4 times, the next week 1 time.

    I have my copy of Combined Operations on it's way to me right now, and will start playing on my own right away, but ideally I'd find a group that could assist in training.

    Is there a group here looking for a player like me?

    Games:BF2:PR / ARMA2 very soon :)

    ACE: will install any mods, I prefer as much realism as possible.

    Roles preferred: any Infantry role, ground vehicles, no air.

    Arma2 experience:Zero, but I know tactics and comms. after 3 years of avid BF2:PR play.

    What kinda of squad I'm looking for: Preferably a group of old guys like me who understand how hectic RL can be post 20's! Of course, I will gladly play with any group of mature / friendly players.

    Additional Interests: VERY interested in using the editor, love creating scenarios & campaigns - Sony Vegas Pro video editing - photoshop -

    Thanks for reading. PM if you think you have a spot for me.
