HOW TO MAKE BUS ROUTE?

[OrnelP]

  Hey all, ive been away for a while and came back because i love the vehicles in OFP, Except that i trying to make a mission that you start as a civie and you need to get to another town on NOGOVA and you need to take the bus.  But the thing i dont know how to do is have the bus wait for a short amount of time then leave on a CYCLE waypoint then come back and pick up again or drop off, ANYONE KNOWS THIS TELL ME PLZ, OR I GO BACK TO PLAYING COUNTER-STRIKE  

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, ORNELP

hi!
you could do this way

you first give the bus a move WP to some bustop at nogova,
one for next stop and one for next.. all way to the final stop of the route.. then you do the same back again but the last wp will be a cycle wp so that it starts all over again when it comes back,
now you should have two wps at every busstop. now you make a trigger lets say 15 x 15 in size at every WP and group them with the bus to make em activate when the bus is in the area. Make it repeatable and give it a countdown of 15 secs. then you syncronize every trigger to its busstop WP's now the bus should stop at every WP, wait for 15 secs and drive to the next location.

this may sound like a complicated way but its the easier way if you dont want to use scripting.

i hope it works for you.

   I am not a good editor, but i think i understand this, I cant seem to get them to stop though, he goes to the way points but i dont know how to make them stop for a certain amount of time? do i  put it in the triggor or the waypoint, i grouped everything rite and i synced everything right but the timing i dont know how to do because its in minutes or secs and the damn vehicle wont stop, unless i shoot driver in the head  ;D, still looking for ur help guy  
THX IN ADVANCE, CONFUSED Gamer ORNELP

Ok this is how it works! (3th time i write this message) The bus travels to the move WP and stops there if he has no other WPs to travel too.. but if he got another WP he will continue driving to that location. but if you syncronize a trigger to the first WP it will make him stop there untill that trigger is activated. so if you put that trigger (size 10 x 10) at the busstop the bus will stop there and wait untill the countdown is 0. (that means if you have set the timer to something else then 0 like 15 for 15 seconds.

now the bus should wait for 15 seconds and then move further along the path..

I actually made a little test mission to show you and for you to use as help if needed but as i said this is the 3th time i write this.. cause i got errors when trying to post that mission zipfile here.
so if you could give me your mail address ill send it to ya.

  I am a simpleton editor and dont want all the complicated stuff, I understand the trigor and waypoints but i want the TIME INFO, where do i put in the time i want it to stay there and not go on and make the routes without stopping at all? HELP ME PLZ  

Thx in Advance  ;D

okay then, in the menu that appears when U double click or place a waypoint, there is a bit in about the middle that says countdown min, med, max. In each of them put in 1 time that is the same (like 6 in min, 6 in med and 6 in max for 6 seconds). But if U want the times to be a bit varied have a diff. number in min and max (so 5, 7, 10 if U want it to be between 5 and 10)

HuNtA is right, the best way is probably to use the countdown field in the waypoints.    Triggers will work too of course, but you don't really  need them.

Make sure the bus is unlocked.

I think somebody wrote a bus route script.    Try the Editors Depot and Searching the forum.

[HuNtA]

U dont even need scripts! All U need R waypoints!

I think that was pointed out already Hunta.
