Crew move to vehicle when attacked

[renegade798]

How do you make it so that say a tank crew is sitting by a fire, then they're attacked, and they run to their tank automatically.

The tank crew will have lets say three waypoints

HOLD   <--------------- synchro a switch trigger with this one
GETIN  
SEEK AND DESTROY

There tutorials and hundreds of forum posts to help you learn about switch triggers.

Another question, I want this single unit to walk up to and get in a car, so I select him choose the waypoint GET IN put it over the car and then when I preview it her just walks up to the car and stands next to it. And also he didnt even start to walk to the car until I added another man to his squad. Can you tell me why these 2 things happen.

Also how do you start a mission with a person sitting.

        -Thanx

thats weird...
for me that happens when i do it on Intro, the unit just stands in front of the car.

To start someone sitting down, put in their init field
unitname switchmove "effectstandsitdown"

Check to make sure the car is unlocked.

Okay i'll try that

[myke13021]

did you tried to create the GETIN waypoint directly onto the car? this way it should be attached to the car.....not creatin besides the car and then movin it onto

:edit:

ok tried it now for being sure...
created unit and car, put a getin waypoint near car and dragged it onto the car = unit is not boerding car

created unit and car, selected unit and created getin waypoint directly ontop of car = unit gets in car

[renegade798]

I set the car to unlocked and still the guy walked up to it and just stood next it, so I dunno wat the problem is, so anyone has any idea please help!!!

I suspect that the problem is that you haven't read myke13021's last post properly.

@macguba

i wrote my last post at the same time as renegade...lol

[renegade798]

I'll try that thanks


Also how do you light a fire before the mission starts, and how do you tell a guy to light a fire.

         -thanx

[myke13021]

light a fire before mission starts (means the fire is burning when start)

in it's init field: this inflame true

how to tell a unit to light a fire.....hmmm...check the group commands...should be in there

[renegade798]

thanx again myke, for the fire and the waypoint thing, but do you know how to make the guy get in as the driver, he keeps getting in as the passenger.

Also how do you make it so that a guy will walk to the same waypoints over and over, like he walks to the first waypoint, then the second, then the third, then back to the first, second, third, and do that over.
