Get player to join and lead AI group (Dependant on position, and their status)

[Ace]

OK, I have only just started scripting again after several years out of the game... So rusty as hell, and I probaly need you to hold my hand through some of the explanations.  

Basically a quick synopsis of what I want to happen:
West side, Resistance, and East are all fighting each other (You are lone east soldier) at the end of a battle between the 3 sides if West and Resistance are all dead, and you are close to any surviving East soldiers - you join and lead them.

So far I have developed the following script, which isn't quite working:

Code: [Select]

   #start

;check to see if there's any east guys left alive, otherwise exit the script
? (alive eastgr1 or alive E1_2 or alive E1_3 or alive E1_4 or alive E1_5 or alive E1_6 or alive E1_7 or alive E1_8 or alive E1_9) : goto "Check"
exit


   #check   

;check the area triggers to see whether any west or res soldiers still alive in area
? (westdead == 1) and (resistancedead == 1) : hint "All enemies here are dead", goto "alldead"
? (westdead == 0) and (resistancedead == 1) or (westdead == 1) and (resistancedead == 0) : goto "Start"

   
   #alldead

;find the position of the player, and his comrades, and if he is close enough he will join them
getpos player = PlayerPos
"getpos" ForEach (units group eastgr1) = EastGr1Pos
? (player distance "EastGr1Pos" < 30) : Player join eastgr1

exit
Much obliged to anyone who could help me out, If I wasn't so in love with myself I'd start tearing my beutiful sexy hair out.

Create three triggers that cover the map
1. East Present call it trig_AllEast
2. West Present call it trig_AllWest
3. Resistance present call it trig_AllRes

A few seconds after the start of the mission run a script that does the following:

Code: [Select]

East_loons = []
{{if (alive _x) then {East_loons = East_loons + [_x]}} forEach crew _x} forEach (list trig_AllEast) - [player]

West_loons = []
{{if (alive _x) then {West_loons = West_loons + [_x]}} forEach crew _x} forEach list trig_AllWest

Res_loons = []
{{if (alive _x) then {Res_loons = Res_loons + [_x]}} forEach crew _x} forEach list trig_AllRes
I presume the player is East as he is going to lead them.

The arrays
XXX_loons contain a list of all the two legged units (not vehicles) on side XXX that start the mission (except the player)

The condition for all west and all resistance dead is:

{alive _x} count (West_loons + Res_loons) < 1

The condition for the player being near (< 50) at least one living east units is:

{(alive _x) and (player distance _x < 50)} count East_loons > 0

To get these loons to join the player:

{if ((alive _x) and (player distance _x < 50)) then {[_x] join player}} forEach East_loons


So you could have a trigger that has the following condition field:
{alive _x} count (West_loons + Res_loons) < 1

and has the following activation field:
{if ((alive _x) and (player distance _x < 50)) then {[_x] join player}} forEach East_loons

Or you could do it with a script that loops getting east units to join the player as he moves close to them and stops when he has a group of 12.

ah OK I see how you did it. Thank you very much.

I'm at work right now so I can't test and see, but I'll try it tonight, cheers.
