waypoint with a sqs script?

[cirkut5732]

Hey guys im back again!!

Just a quick question this time.

I have a loon about 15 feet from a jeep. I need him to walk to the jeep and mount in the jeep, but with a sqs script ONLY, I cannot use a waypoint with the mission editor, Now Ive tried just "loon moveindriver jeep" but he disappears and immediatley reappears in the jeep, looks very unrealistic. So what is the script command to make someone walk to a object, all ive tried is "loon goto jeep" but that didnt work obviously!
thanks guys

Code: [Select]

loon_name domove getpos jeep_name

#loop
~1
?not (loon_name distance jeep_name)<=2:goto "loop"

loon_name switchmove "StandGetInCar"
~1.5
loon_name moveindriver jeep_name
try that...

ha ha thats quite funney Loon goto jeep  
i remember trying that too,
why cant you use a waypoint?

[alimag]

the easiest way:

loon_name assignAsDriver jeep_name
[loon_name] orderGetin true

and if you want to wait until he is in the jeep to order him whatever you want:

@ vehicle loon_name == jeep_name
... put your orders here

well i could use a waypoinr but its about 5 minutes into my cutscene and its all timed perfectly, I would need to set a trigger up in just the right spot, its time consuming so i figured id script it right when I want him to move, I will try these answers and get back to you all
thanks much!!!

Well i tried both those i can't get them to work so im gonna paste exactly how i wrote the script with your help, maybe you can see where i went wrong

first my loon is named terror1 and the jeep is named terrorcar

k bedges i typed yours like this
terror1 switchmove "effectstandsalute"
~1
terror1 domove getpos terrorcar

#loop
~1
?not (terror1 distance terrorcar)<=2:goto "loop"

terror1 switchmove "StandGetInCar"
~1.5
terror1 moveindriver terrorcar

and i got this error
'not (terror1 distance terrorcar)<=|#|2': Error not: Type Number, expected Bool

and alimag i did yours like this

terror1 assignasdriver terrorcar
terror1 ordergetin true
@ vehicle terror1 == terrorcar

and nothing happened.

Thanks again guys Ill be waiting LOL!

[cirkut5732]

oh sorry, the salute thing is cause he salutes a loon then walks to jeep and gets in

[Triggerhappy]

try this:

? not(terror1 distance terrorcar <= 2):goto "loop"

[cirkut5732]

well triggerhappy I dont get a error anymore, The loon doesnt do anything still but now it wont cut to the next scene now either? Ill check back in the morning. Thanks again for helping!!

[bedges]

it could be that the initial switchmove animation is interfering with the loon. try taking the salute out, or alternatively adding a

Code: [Select]

loon_name switchmove ""
after the pause. either way, i've tried it and it works. see attached missionette.  

[alimag]

and alimag i did yours like this

terror1 assignasdriver terrorcar
terror1 ordergetin true
@ vehicle terror1 == terrorcar

and nothing happened.

Of course nothing will happend. The orderGetin command expect an array as parameter:

[terror1] orderGetin true
