How to set behaviour of whole groups using triggers?

[Kneehi]

Hi guys!
I've been trying to do this for a while now, with no succeed...
What I'm trying to do is:
I have a group that is moving between two waypoints. Between those waypoints i inserted a Trigger(in the place that i want the action to happen), with this written on the activation field:

{_x Setbehaviour "safe"} foreach units grp

Where Grp is the name of the group i've chosen...

In the leader's init field i've written: Grp=group this

Then i grouped the trigger with the group.
The problem is: When they enter the trigger area, only the group leader changes its behaviour, and the other group members also stop following the leader!
Please, any ideas? (I really need this to be done with a trigger/script.. Can't be done with a waypoint..)

BY THE WAY, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!  

Thanks...

Hmm have you tried changing the group name?

I tried the exact same thing as you did with 'wgrp1' as the group name and it worked; all of the units of that group switched their behaviour to 'safe'.

It's possible that the game may interpret 'grp' as part of a command, namely GrpNull. If this is the case, then it would explain why the party members stop following the leader.

Hope this helps

Double check your syntax, because I duplicated your scenario as you explained it and it worked fine for me. The spelling is not case sensitive either.

Gruntage, thanks bro, that worked.. Can't believe it was that obvious..   Hahaha

savedbygrace, that's wierd, i just Ctrl+C Ctrl+V from my editor... Can't be a syntax error... But nevermind, the problem is solved...

Cheers!

Damn, now i got another wierd issue...

First i'll have to give you guys a context of the mission...
It is basically this: At the start, I got loads of soldiers boarding two Chinooks, then they para-jump in a certain area, than proceed between cities to kill the enemy.
The point is: Before i added the triggers to change the groups behaviour, everything was ok, but after i inserted them, the problem showed up!
I tested the trigger system sepparatedly from my mission, and it worked ok... But when i do the same damn thing in my mission, i get this:

'wgrp1|#|=group this; ': Error Reserved variable in expression

And the mission starts with no one boarding the Chinooks...

Any clues?

Seems like your using wgrp1 as a variable twice. Once as a group name and again as a unit name. Check all of your unit and group names.

No, i'm sure i'm not.... I think it's something related with the moveincargo command I'm use in the init.sqs to start the mission with the soldiers already boarding the chinooks.. =/

You could just put this in the init line of the group leader:

Code: [Select]

"_x moveincargo chinook1" foreach units group this
So you don't have to use an init.sqs to move everyone inside vehicles.

I've had that error before now and it was because I had 'eg1' in the group leader's name box and:

Code: [Select]

eg1 = group this
...in his init box.
