Hi guys this is my first post as all my other editing projects have stayed very basic. The project im on at the moment needs a n ai civvy to follw a set group of way points then eventually place and detonate a satchel. ( suicide bomber in essence). Now everything is in place apart from the actual setting and detonating, he has the satchel in his inventory but need some help putting the commands into the trigger to make him do as i wish... Can you help?

hi Crowey
I found this a bit helpful on one of the furms cant remeber which one:


Make a unit with enough satchels to blow that building.

Place a waypoint near building, that you wanna blow up. In "On activation" field type:
Code Sample 

UnitName fire "PipeBombMuzzle"

then make another waypoint, where you want soldier to put another satchel with same text inside "On activation" field.
You can make as many those waypoints, as many satchels soldier has.

After you're done with placing bomb waypoints put a new waypoint with this in "On activation" field:
Code Sample 
UnitName action ["TOUCHOFF", UnitName]

this will blow the bombs up, so put it far enough, so the soldier won't be killed by explosion.

Indeed, but please Crowey do not post consecutively.
If you have something to add to your post after a short period of time (less than 2-3 days) modify your post instead of 'replying to yourself'.

Is there anyway in which to get the AI to place a timed satchel charge?

[Planck]

After setting the satchel in place, try playing with this line:

unit1 action ["SETTIMER", unit2, <bombName>]

Taken from the Biki, you mean need to play about with it to get it to work the way you want.
