Get in tank

How can I make it so when 3 soldiers see a enemy they get in a T80?

What you need is switch trigger.   I guess your dudes are east so your trigger should be west detected by east.  

Give the dudes a hold waypoint near the tank.   Then put a get in waypoint on top of the tank.    Synchro the hold WP with the trigger.   Make sure the trigger is type switch.

Your dudes will hang out at the hold WP till the trigger is fired, then they will get into the tank.     Voila!

Edit:  doesn't have to be a hold WP, you could use cycle ... actually its just occurred to me you could use a sentry WP:  the dudes would hang out there till they themselves spotted west, at which point they would get into the tank.  If you use sentry you don't need a trigger at all.     Jelly for brains, that's my problem.

in addition to Macguba's post:

you could put in the activation field of the trigger the command:

"guy1" moveingunner "tank";"guy2" moveindriver "tank";"guy3" moveincommander "tank"

I use "guy1" etc and "tank" as examples, but this just makes things a bit easier.

Macguba, if you've got jelly for brains does that mean thought's were "deserting" you......... ;D


ok I'll go now...... :-[

Iscreamed with delight when I noticed the difference between all these solutions is only a trifle ....

For Hostile's solution, wouldn't you have to use the assignAsCommander, assignAsGunner, etc., commands as well?  I figured the soldiers would just disembark after being "forced" into the tank with the move- command, since they weren't assigned to it.  Just a thought.  I could be wrong.
