probs getting truck to take team to destination
« on: 30 Jun 2003, 15:12:29 »
Hi,
Basicly I'm trying to get a team to board a truck and have it take them to a destination.  If AI is the captian it gets there however you hear him say "all to destination bla bla bla" (which I believe should happen anyway).  However if a human controls the captian, once the team boards the truck, it seems that the truck is trying to follow the captian (who is in the truck) because it just spins around etc, absolutly disgarding the waypoints!  What have I done wrong???

I apologize if there is already a tutorial that clearly explains how to do this correctly, I have not come across one yet.  If you know of one, please point me to it.  Otherwise any help would be greatly appreciated ;)

if the truck is nothing but a temp. transport
then why not just let him be in a group of his own?! :D

Put a "LOAD" waypoint for the truck and synchronize it (F5, drag a line) with your own "GET IN" wp.
Then a "Trans. unload" and a "get out".

This way, all ya gotta do is to tel yer men 2 get in when the truck arrives,
then get in yerself (player commander has to be last man in), and the truck will move.

Same thing when ya get out; if you're not automatically KICKED out, just tell all yer men to get out & then get out afterwards.

Legend!
That did the trick ;)

Additionly,
Should this same procedure work with hellicopters?  the dam thing starts on the ground but takes off before the team can get to it?

I'm not too worried about it as the truck was what I wanted - however the chopper would be great also ;D

Thanks heaps for your input ;)
