?can a unit detects an enemy with out a trigger ?

[redfox]

Hello,

Is there a way to make a unit detect a enemy with a script without using a trigger and assign it to a value. The sqs is run from the unit.

Here is what I thought would work.

...................................................
_unit = _this
_enemy = enemy
_unit domove (getpos _enemy)
...................................................

Can someone shed some light. I've looked around at other codes and can find anything

Heres a script from the BAS team used in their demo missions -

; SentryAI.sqs
; by Nagual

_AI = _this select 0

#knows
; hint format ["AI Knows : %1", _AI knowsAbout player]
?!alive _AI : exit
? _AI knowsAbout player < .5                               : goto "knows0"
? _AI knowsAbout player > .5 && _AI knowsAbout player < .9 : goto "knows1"
? _AI knowsAbout player > .5 && _AI knowsAbout player < .9 : goto "knows1"
? _AI knowsAbout player > .9 && _AI knowsAbout player < 2  : goto "knows2"
? _AI knowsAbout player > 2 && _AI knowsAbout player < 2.9 : goto "knows3"
? _AI knowsAbout player > 3 && _AI knowsAbout player <= 4  : goto "knows4"
