Author Topic: Not be "1" (Read 819 times)

Hello... 6 men start off groupless... they all join an officer (part of the 6) after a certain trigger is activated. but the person I play as always ends up as 1 and the officer 6... meaning the formation is poo especially for Coulmns. How can I make it so I join as a lower number? and the officer is 1st?

in a trigger field:

Code: [Select]

loon1,loon2,loon3,loon4,player] join officer_1

do you mean "officer_1" as being the units name right? If you have it like an array thats exactly how ive got the trigger set.

Code: [Select]

wesgrp=group s0

//s0 being the officer (Lietunant) in his init field

wesmen=[s1, s2, s3, aP, aF]

//s1 etc. Being other soilders in the group, aP being me. This is in a (Initilization) trigger's activation field...

//Triggers Activation

wesmen join wesgrp

this should still work right?

yes, it should.

If not, then you will probably have to do the list in full, but it is not that hard.

Maybe you could try making the player join last.

[loon1,loon2,loon3,loon4] join wesgrp
~2
player join wesgrp

Maybe that would work.

yeah done that aswell... not the same way though... I did it so when the truck arrives at the base the team join the leader excluding me and then on the leaders first waypoint (MOVE) I join aP to s0

I experimented a bit with this. I thought it would be simple - in fact I thought Planck had the answer (give or take the odd square brackets

). I now don't see how it can be done - but I am not sure I see the need. The officer will still be the leader so formations should line up on him

If you want to change the leader try this:

I will keep trying

Tyger - what on earth does you sig mean. I don't like the idea of being killed once let alone several times

EDIT:

Okay I have found a way, but you might not like it.

Start with the player with a low rank in a group. He will be assigned a number which will not be one.

then:

[player] join grpNull

[loon1,loon2,loon3,player] join officer

The player then seems to keep his original number

Hmm......well, my square bracket key ran out of ink.

Lol - I have the same problem. Sometimes.

Ah nice one I'll give it a try... Im so tired and lazy... and if you saw my mission you would see changing the smallest thing might cause it to fall apart Its a mess... s'all good though. Be right back.

EDIT:

Yep, I grouped ap with s3 (Prvate with Corporal) and then in ap's init field putted...

Code: [Select]

ap join grpnull
