How Do You Change What Leader A Group Has?

[Alex]

Hi All,
        I Wan't Some Men To Get Into A Chopper With An Officer As Leader Then Fly Somewhere, Get Out And Then Have Another Different Officer As Their Leader. How Would I Do This?
Thanks,
Alex.

Use this code when you want it to happen.   Syntax not guaranteed and I haven't tested it, but it should work.    Make sure leader2 is the second highest ranking loon in the group, so that he takes over when leader1 leaves.

[leader1] join grpNull
[leader1] join leader2

[Alex]

sorry mate where do i put that?

[BibiPhoque]

Wherever you want it to happen ^_^

Like this in an OnActivation field of a waypoint for example :

[leader1] join grpNull ; [leader1] join leader2

[Alex]

Right Cool Thanks Mate.

Only The Officer Joins My Team I Wan't The Officer And His Group To Join My Team.

Then you juste have to remove the [] :

leader1 join grpNull ; leader1 join leader2

But I'm not 100% sure about that =)

[Alex]

Cool I'll Try It Thanks

[BibiPhoque]

If that doesn't work, try that :


"_x join grpNull" forEach units leader1 ; "_x join leader2" forEach units leader1

[Alex]

Ok Thanks.

That Doesn't Work...

The join command takes an array as it's first argument:  therefore you must use square brackets [ ] or an array.   Try

"[_x] join ......

The lesson is, always[/i] check the syntax in the command ref.     The vast majority of answers in the forum are fundamentally correct (like BibiPhoque's here):  however, many (especially mine) contain minor errors of syntax.     It is not the duty of the answerer to check these details:  it is the duty of the questioner.

In any case you shouldn't use a command unless you understand it.   If you have read the command ref (both online version and unofficial version) and don't understand a command, by all means ask here.
