doFollow...

[Meatball0311]

I looked through the forum and did not see any topics on doFollow.

I would like for a pair of AH-1Z's to escort transport helo's.  The transport helo's group leader is named helo1.  I thought a doFollow script would be the easiest way to do this.

This is my script:

_unit = _this select 0

_unit setCombatMode "YELLOW"
_unit setFormation "LINE" 
_unit setSpeedMode "NORMAL"
_unit setBehaviour "COMBAT"
_unit doFollow helo1

exit
------

I put this into the AH-1Z group leaders Init Field:
[this] exec "doFollow.sqs"


The transport helo group moves to its waypoint, but the escorts just hover. 

Is this the best and easiest method or would there be a better way to make helo escorts.

I think doFollow can only be used on units that are in the same group (which is a bit funny ..)

You could try the doFollowUnit script (written by hoz) and see if it could be edited to do what you want, if doesn't work out of the box..

doFollow is just a fancy way of saying "return to formation" in fact. commandFollow will actually say the command out loud.

Wolfrug out.
