Moving a group on a map

[The-Architect]

I want to have a group on a little island and then, when the player hits a trigger, have that group teleport to a position where the player cannot see and then move towards a position governed by a waypoint.

Any ideas how I do it?
I've looked at the setpos command but it desn't help.

setPos does help.

Place the waypoints where you want them and the group on teh little island.   They'll try to follow the waypoints but not to the point of drowning, so they should just stand around on the island.

Place a gamelogic where you want them to materialise.    

The trigger:-

Condition:  as you like
On activation:  "_x setPos getPos GL1" forEach units grp1

Not sure what happens if you teleport them all to the same spot, but you can experiment.

well you also need to get them into grp1
a trigger covering the whole tiny island
activated by the side that the units are on, and it think in activation you type:
grp1 = thislist

syntax and correctness not garunteed

if it causes a problem you can adjust their positions to not clash in a script by altering the numbers in the position array but it might be tiresome...

or just put a delay after you've setpossed each guy.

Thanks for he support guys it orked a treat. All of the units were setpos'd to the place at the same time and they kind of just appaeared as one unit and then popped out and turned into a group.

Not sure what would happen with different unit types like a tank and some guys or whatever.

Anyway. Thanks again.  ;D
