Plzzz help with getting AI groups into Vehicle via Radio!!

[CptBravo]

Hi,

I know how to use the getin getout commands through WPs.

The question  is, how to use it via Triggor Radio command?

Example, I have 3 teams  (2 AI and mine) assulting a town. Say  things go bad so I want the AI teams to pull back and get into Heli or Boat or Truck through a Radio command. Question is how? Only way I know is through WPs and that does no allow any flexibilty!

All help is grrrrreatly apprecated! :)

Hey LCD,

Thanks for your help. It works!! Thanks!!

Just a quick question .. is there a way to do the same with groups vs units. As in make the whole group get into a vehcle. So I won't have to put every single unit in acrtivation trig field.

Thanks for your help again!

[LCD]

yep deres a way but  u need 2 name da group ;D - put in da init of ny1 from dagroup da next line

groupname = group this

groupname can b nything

den put

"_X assignascargo heliname" foreach groupname
"[_X] ordergetin true" foreach groupname

1ce 4 each group ;D

just name each group difrently

Hi LCD, thanks for your quick replies!

OK the individual units works out like a charm. Its when I try to do get the squad to get in as a group that I have problems.

Before this is what I had in my Radio Trig command:
a1 assignascargo heli; [a1] ordergetin true; a2 assignascargo heli; [a2] ordergetin true; a3 assignascargo heli; [a3] ordergetin true;  

Above is what I use for inividual units.

Now I replaced that command with the group command you mentioned:

"_X assignascargo heli" foreach Alpha; "[_X] ordergetin true" foreach Alpha

with the above command nothing happens?! DO I also put it in the Triggor? Any help is grrreatly appreciated

[LCD]

did u put in da init of da leader

alpha = group this ?

Hi,

I must be doing something stupid I am sure! It won't work as a group and I have no clue why.

I am attaching a test missionthat you can look at whenever you have time.

I am very appreciative thanks

[peter]

works fine ...  

... only a small mistake in the leaders init-filed (Aplha = groupthis), should be:
Alpha = group this

[CptBravo]

Hi,

I have tried with and without spacee in the init field with no luck. I noticed with that command the space make no difference.

Help is greatly appreciated

You spelled Alpha wrong in the sqm and leave a space between the words group && this. Fix that and it should work.

[CptBravo]

Thx CrashnBurn !! You were right ..a slight spelling!! thx

Only other question I have which is sorta related .. is now that I have them in .. how do I get them out? I used the eject one but they all get out at the same time from a truck or helo which looks unrealstic. Anyway to make them disembark one by one?

Thanks.

Captain Bravo, are you sure about that?

May i invite you to read my (almost) tutorial, about
waypoint type: scripted.

Since i figured out, how it works i'm playing around with
that a lot.

Upon your questions, i think this is the right waypoint for
you  

OK, after reading my tutorial the first time you may think
this sounds a lil bit complicated, but once you're playing
around with it, you'll see it's not that hard to use.

Just for info, you even do not need to name your group
inside an init field when using waypoint type scripted.

But at best see for yourself:
