Group Leader

[calvinjune]

here's a little tracking script i worked up; it's not really different from anything else like it out there.

;[tracker,tracked] exec "track.sqs"

_Tracker = _this select 0
_Tracked = _this select 1

#Loop

_Tracker move getpos _Tracked

~5

goto "Loop"

problem is, if the leader of the tracker group is killed, the entire group stops tracking. how can i make the script give the move command to the new group leader?

Code: [Select]

_trackers = _this select 0 (Group name)
_tracked = _this select 1

#Vars
_primary = leader _trackers

#Loop
?(not alive _primary): goto "Vars"
_primary domove getpos _tracked
~5
goto "loop"

#Exit
exit
Not guaranteed that this will work .

[General Barron]

[tracking group,tracked group ] exec "track.sqs"

_Tracker = _this select 0
_Tracked = _this select 1

#Loop

(leader _Tracker) move getpos (leader _Tracked)

~5

goto "Loop"


Guaranteed to work

My idea wasn't practical . Use General Barron's. Also remember to account for either the trackers or the tracked being wiped out:

Code: [Select]

...
#Loop
?(count (units group _tracker) == 0): goto "exit"
?(count (units group _tracked) == 0): goto "exit"
(leader _Tracker) move getpos (leader _Tracked)
...
#exit
exit

[calvinjune]

neither of those are working. the leader still dies and the group stops.

Please post the mission so I can see what's going on.

[calvinjune]
