Createunit problem

[timmylondon]

Hello,

I have problem creating unit using script.

I used the following script:
"SoldierECrew" createunit [getpos g1, east1, "s1a = this", 1, 'SERGEANT"]

But it didnt create the unit.

Please tell me if my script is wrong.

Thanks,
Timmy

"SoldierECrew" createunit [getpos g1, east1, "s1a = this", 1, 'SERGEANT"]

Does the group east1 actually exist?  If not, it won't work.

Also, you have a typo in the rank.  The first single quote should be a double quote.  E.g., "SERGEANT".

thanks for reply.

east1 is a group, right?

How can I make the east1 exist? I thought I can make a new group.

And for the single quote that was my own mistake.

Thanks,
Timmy

Just plop a east soldier in the editor, and in his ini put east1 = group this; deletevehicle this. Now you have a group with that name, and the soldier wont be in the map when it loads cause you deleted him. Give the soldier waypoints if you want, and the created units with that groupname will use them. Think of the soldier as a template you use to create units from.

Hello,

Thanks for reply, I fixed the createunit problem but I have some more problem needed to solve.

My problem is: the fourth Shilka won't move because there are no crews inside.

I created 5 Game logics, g2a to g2d are the four Shilka location and g2e is the place where the crews are created.

I created a Shilka called 'shilka' which removed using deletevehicle.

Please check the following script and please tell me if i made any mistakes.

Note: g4a is the waypoint of the four Shilkas.

I solved the problem even without knowing what had happened. I just replay the script and it works fine.

Thanks,
