Dotarget Group

[Killzone]

Hello,


Is it possible to have one group target another group?

I tried

Grp1 do move getpos Grp2

Grp 1 dotarget grp2

Grp1 dofire grp2

But it wont work.

I am just trying to an enemy group from across the island to hunt my group.

Thanks in advance for the help  ;D

Try "grp1 move getpos leader grp2"
You may want to run a loop that does this every so often to keep the AI's info about you fresh(otherwise, they'll just go to the position you were at before). You may also want to use the "reveal" command so they'll be able to target you when they get closer.

Most commands in OFP take specific arguments.  Some work on groups, some on loons and so on.   Some can take either.  In addition there are other commands which take a loon as argument but affect the whole group.  

There's no point in attempting to use a command unless you fully understand what arguments it requires.    The comref is very helpful on this point.    Simply substituting a group for a loon and hoping for the best does not work often enough for it to be a worthwhile technique.

how about
{_x dofire grp2} foreach units grp2
you may also need a do trget command on the group just change the the dofir to dotarget

*sigh* Sometimes I wonder why I bother.

I write

Simply substituting a group for a loon and hoping for the best does not work

Yet still 456820 posts

{_x dofire grp2}

In spite of

doFire target

Operand types:
target: Object

I know it's no crime to post an answer with a mistake but this is more than laziness and thoughtlessness:  it is negligance.   It makes no more sense than

"marker1" setmarkercolor grp2

Although I always appreciate the help,  Pravit's suggestion was exactly what I was looking for.
One group now hunts another
