Cliff assault

[GI-YO]

Hi just a quick question.

I want to simulate troops from a boat mounting a cliff assault, I dont want to show the troops moving up the cliff as this will probably look messy. If you could have a black out when the boat reaches the bottom of the cliff and then move the troops to the top of the cliff and then black in. How would this be done? Thanks for any help.

Use titlecut commands for the blackout and black in, and setPos commands to move the loons from where they are to you want them to be.

Thanks Mac, i'll have them up the cliff in no time  ;D

I got this so far and it works to a cetain extent. I get the black out, move to the marker but then the whole sqaud stays glued to the spot, instead of running to their next WP.

titlecut ["","BLACK IN",3]

a1 is the loon name, clifftop is the marker name.

can anyone see why this would happen (my script is bound to be wrong) or have experienced this before. thanks in advance.

They're all glued together.   Setpos them to offsets from the marker.  

a1 setPos [(getMarkerPos "clifftop" select 0) + 3, 1getMarkerPos "clifftop" select 1) + 4, 0]

etc.   syntax not guaranteed.
