Dynamic trigger/waypoints?

[ckclaw]

Hi guys,
Hope this gonna make sense,did search but dont think id know the answer if i spotted it?

Basically it's a BHD style mission,the bh starts over Parasio on a placement radius of 200(smoking and tail rotor gone)!
How can i link enemy waypoints etc to the crash site,as obviously it will be different everytime due to the placement radius?

Many Thanks

For each enemy group:
setWaypointPosition

First waypoint is 1.

Thanks Mandoble,but could you elaborate a bit more?
Did check the comref but a bit confusing to me

You want to move the waypoints of your units to a new location, use that command to do it. I assume you gave waypoints to the enemies from the editor, right?

As of yet i have not setup the enemies/waypoints,its just the way i do my missions.
Make sure everything else works first etc.
Sorry im not explaining myself very well-lack of cider!

Edit:-

the waypoints are not set yet cause where i would place them would not nessecarly be the place the chopper crashes!

Place the waypoints for the enemy groups. Give groupnames by adding the following code in the leader's init:

Code: [Select]

groupAlpha = group this;
Name the heli "blackhawk".
Next, have a script or trigger activate a few seconds after the mission starts (trigger: timeout 5-5-5, condition: true)

On activation:

Code: [Select]

[groupAlpha, 1] setWaypointPosition [getPos blackhawk, 0]

Gez sorry guys cant get that to work either!

Going on the cider now,must be missing something simple?



EDIT:-

YAY damn cider kicking in now! 

Got it,had typo in timeout! lol

Thanks All!
