road checkpoints (guarding soldiers)

[vectordude]

how do i get a car to stop at a checkpoint on the road where soldiers check the car and then let them through?

i tried doin something like dostop.........but they sit there forever

then put this domove[1,1,1] after that and they go on after sitting for a few minutes.

maybe a radio of some sort?

Create a waypoint at the checkpoint with a condition that will be 'activated' (condition=true) when you want the car to continue.

Besides you can try to put unit stop true and unt stop false

One way to get the car to stop would be to lock the waypoint after the roadblock, i am assuming that there would be a waypoint at the roadblock.

You could then lock the waypoint after the one at the roadblock.  Then have it time out so after a few seconds or however long the waypoint would unlock.

I'm not sure how to exactly do that but that is what i would try and do.

 Yeah make them have a waypoint that is right where you want them to stop for the checkpoint.. then in the min/mid/max  fields for the countdown/timeout function add a few seconds.. this will make them hold there for the given amount of time before moving on to the next waypoint

I forgot you could do the min/max/mid thing.  Makes things even more simple.
