continous convoy moving?
« on: 27 May 2003, 10:22:35 »
When I put down waypoints to a convoy escorting a bmp or any armored class, the vehicles's movement is not continous, they stop almost at every waypoint even if there is no change within the actual waypoint. How can I force them to move slightly strate ahead?

thanks in advance...

Put behaviour on safe and speed on full (so they don't travel too slowly)

Make sure you have only 1 WP placed where you want the convoy to stop. (End of travel)
Because the behavior is on safe they'll never leave the road.

AI units tend to pause at waypoints.   There's not much you can do about it.

If the convoy is moving along a road just put wayoints at the start and finish, they'll work out the rest for themselves.    If it's a long way put just one in the middle some so that they don't get lost, but basically you want as few waypoints as possible.

If the pausing thing is really driving you nuts you can forget waypoints and use markers and move commands instead.
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

Don't set speed to "Full" they will break formation if you do.
