Get moving, you bastard :)

[SimonRussi]

I need to create units in a place and then make them moving to a position. I wrote this:

_soldier = "Soldier" createvehicle [x,z]
_soldier move [x1,z1]

guess what? He shows up and goes nowhere.
I tried this:

"Soldier" createunit [xz, group, "this domove [x1,z1]"]

guess what? fucking the same.

Now, can somebody teach me how to kick this lazy bastard and make him moving?

Thanks,
Simon

ok LCD, we are almost done .

It works now, the unit start running toward the destination. But, what if I want him to be a group itself. I mean, i used this

"Soldier" createunit [[x,z,y], group unitxx, "_soldier = this"]

what if unitxx dies? And, since I use this to generate units randomly, what happens when the group grows over 12 elements?

[LCD]

it suposed 2 work if he is grouped also ;D

but i didnt know u can do it w/o sayin wich group u r groupin da unit to

if da unit dies da group is likly 2 stil b da same group ;D

nd wen da group have 12 units it stops creatin units ;D

do you know if i can group the created units with a gamelogic or something so that the group leader will never die?

about the 12 elements trick: will the creation start again when the group units number is below 12 elements again?

I guess you could create a simple script that will always keep the leader nice and healthy.

Code: [Select]

;[unitname] exec "alive.sqs"

_loon1 = _this select 0

#start
?!(alive _loon1): exit
_loon1 setdamage 0
~1
goto "start"

I think you can make the group leader a gamelogic.     Or you could put him on an outlying island where he can't come to any harm.

about the 12 elements trick: will the creation start again when the group units number is below 12 elements again?

yes it wil continue ;D

do you know if i can group the created units with a gamelogic or something so that the group leader will never die?

u can put da group leader far away ;D

but if u put him GL i think da side of da units created wil b GLs nd dats  meens dey wont kill oders  :-X

You could also do this:

place a unit in the editor
type in the init field:  mygroup=group this;deletevehicle this

The groupname is created and is still there after the unit is deleted.  The groupname can be used in the createunit command and you don't have to have a unit off in the bushes somewhere day dreaming.

Ok guys, tried the put-the-leader-away trick and it works.
It doesn't work with a gamelogic, the created units don't move.

About the Deaddog trick I will give it a try.

Anyway, thanks you all and topic solved.
