How to make the PLAYER move without control?

[Stord]

Hi everyone, I have a question for you guys that I couldn't get an answer to:

How can I make the player move without my control? For example, a group of 5 guys, including the player, land on a beach. At this moment, I want a cutscene to be executed and I want the player walking by himself to a precise waypoint. So let's say, going from point A to B without any of my interactions.

Thanks a lot,

This might do it, if I correctly understood your wishes:

1. Add this to your init.sqf:

onTeamSwitch "selectPlayer (leader _from); {_x doFollow leader _from} foreach units _from; selectPlayer _to;";

(see this thread for explanation)

2. Add a playable unit well away from any action - say a civilian medic, with this allowdamage false; in the unit's init field (just in case )

3. Give your player group appropriate waypoints

Start the mission & at the relevant time, team switch to the civ. The player group should continue along the waypoints. You can switch back when ready.

Oh well, it worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot m8, you also answered another question I had!

Hace a nice day,

..but what was "the other question"? (nice to know I killed 2 birds with 1 stone even if I only saw one!)
