Sniper Vantage Points.

[fragsta]

Say I was making a mission where there was an AI sniper who was sniping people as they came by, like in a valley or something. If I put maybe about 6 game logics around the area at different points, how do i make him move to different ones every time he has shot a wave of people? I know I would need to name the game logics differently, and use "move" in a script and also "random" but how would it work? Thx in advance!

You could use a counter as a condition that counted the number of enemies there were. As he shoots them this would go down. You could specify it so that when the counter reaches certain numbers the sniper moves on.

But how do I use "random" for randomizing to which game logic he moves?

[Drozdov]

Hmm, you could try this. Make an array of all the game logic units. Maybe you could then do something like arrayname select random 5 where 5 (+1) is the number of Game Logics in the array. That probably won't work since I've never tried anything vaguely resembling it. Just thinking out loud. But give it a try, you never know...
