How to execute a script for a group of soldiers?

[kevind2003]

Hi,

I'm using a script which let the soliders rope down from a chopper, using like this:

[Unit,Rope] exec "ropedown.sqs"

But I want a group of soliders to execute this script. How to do that?   Thanks


The sqs file content:

_man = _this select 0

#loop

_height = (getpos _man Select 2)

_man setvelocity [0,0,0]
_man setpos [ getpos _man select 0 , getpos _man select 1 , _height - 0.2]

~0.01

? not alive _man : _man switchmove ""
? not alive _man : goto exit
? _height < 2 : goto "loop2"
? _height > 2 : goto "loop"


#loop2

_height = (getpos _man Select 2)

_man setvelocity [0,0,0]
_man setpos [getpos _man select 0 , getpos _man select 1 , _height - 0.08]

~0.01


? _height > 0.5 : goto "loop2"


? not alive _man : _man switchmove ""
? not alive _man : goto exit
? _height < 0.5 : _man switchmove ""
? _height < 0.5 : goto exit

"[_x,rope] exec {myscript.sqs}" foreach units mygroup

[kevind2003]

"[_x,rope] exec {myscript.sqs}" foreach units mygroup

Thanks toadlife!  

But is this possible to execute the script every 1 second foreach units? (I don't want all the soliders rope down at same time  :-\)

Yeah but not with that example I gave you. PERHAPS you could modify the script just a bit like so:


[Unit,timetowait] exec "ropedown.sqs"

Code: [Select]

_man = _this select 0
_wait = _this select 1
~_wait

#loop

_height = (getpos _man Select 2)

_man setvelocity [0,0,0]
_man setpos [ getpos _man select 0 , getpos _man select 1 , _height - 0.2]

~0.01

? not alive _man : _man switchmove ""
? not alive _man : goto exit
? _height < 2 : goto "loop2"
? _height > 2 : goto "loop"


#loop2

_height = (getpos _man Select 2)

_man setvelocity [0,0,0]
_man setpos [getpos _man select 0 , getpos _man select 1 , _height - 0.08]

~0.01


? _height > 0.5 : goto "loop2"


? not alive _man : _man switchmove ""
? not alive _man : goto exit
? _height < 0.5 : _man switchmove ""
? _height < 0.5 : goto exit

Then to execute it you would do these two lines....

_wait = 0
"[_x,_wait] exec {script.sqs};_wait = _wait + 1" foreach units mygroup

In theory, it would make each soldier it executes the script for wait 1 more second than the last to start rapelling down. Give it a shot.
