doWatch east?

Hey all!
I'm trying to get a unit in a Machine gun to watch the eastern direction for enemies. Does anyone know how I can have him do this? Thanks !

Click on the Show IDs button in the mission editor.  Find an object that is a long way from the unit in the directopn you want him to look.  Say the ID number of the object is 12345.  In the init field of the unit put:

this doWatch (object 12345)

alternatively, create four game logics called gl_north, gl_south, etc, place them at the edges of the map and use

Code: [Select]

loon_name dowatch getpos gl_north
that's if you can afford to have four spare game logics in the mission without worrying about lag THobson's is the 'cleaner' approach.
