Alarm

[XaRn]

Hey....
i'm making a mission where i am to infiltrate an enemy base...
How do i make the enemy move to an waypoint when the alarm i sounded?

i understand you already have made your alarm system. in your init.sqs put alarming = false. in your alarm script(s) put a line something like "alarmed = true"
then have a waypoint for these enemies, condition alarming.
have a trigger, type switch, condition "alarmed", on activation "alarming = true"
hope that helps.

Why even bother with two different variables?

Just have your alarm script or trigger set alarmed = true, and then have the first waypoint of the enemy group have a condition of alarmed.

There's no need to use two variables for this task.

Thanks for the help guys.. I'll try it out!

Or..... you could just use a switch waypoint and skip the variables and init.sqs all together


then they could be on patrol...  and once the alarm went off they go off their current route and take up another
