Problems with CamCreated units

[Ace Productions]

Hi everybody,

How can u name a unit that was CamCreated? I used Thomas = "SoldierEB" CamCreate (GetPos GL1) where GL1 is a gamelogic unit.

The unit appers where his expected but doesn't execute any other commands in the script. When I tried something like Thomas DoMove GetPos John Thomas doesn't want to cooperate! Is there any other way to name the unit?

why do you use camcreate? use createunit instead and then he should follow your orders without any problems.

i think, camcreated units are just "objects, that look like a soldier" but is not equipped with AI...lol...sometimes i love my descriptions ;D

I second that what myke said above - use createunit
instead of camcreate.

To name units with createunit, it would look summit like that:

crew1 = "bassoarpilot" createUnit [_pos, wpilgrp, "w1pil = this", 1, "CORPORAL"]

:note - _pos is a positional array (like you get by getpos object),
wpilgrp is an already existing group.
"w1pil = this" is the part where you would name the unit,
1 = unit's skill (value from 0 to 1)
"CORPORAL" = guess what - is the unit's rank

or u can use createvehicle to create empty vehicles...
