Allow fleeing and poplach

I have decrypted some Mission.pbo files and found two files that interest me and i was hoping if anyone could explain to me what they do.

This first one is a Script called "poplach" and i believe it is used to simulate soldiers coming out of barracks. I found it in the 08LoneWolf.cain.pbo file:

_sv = units group (_this select 0)

debugLog _sv

_n = count _sv

_marker = getMarkerPos (_this select 1)

_dir = _this select 2

_i = 0

#presunout

_sv select _i setPos _marker

_sv select _i setDir _dir

_i = _i + 1

? _i >= _n : goto "konec"

~ random 4 + 1

goto "presunout"

#konec

exit

Secondly i would like to know what the command "this allowfleeing 0" or "this allowfleeing false" does(I think thats how the command looked). I remember d/l a user made mission called "Camp Commanche 1" and an error message would come up during gameplay about the allowfleeing command having a glitch, although i could still play the game.

So can anyone enlighten me to what these two things do???

Allowfleeing set's the courage of the particular soldier. If allowfleeing is set one 1 (this allowfleeing 1), then the soldier will always flee in face of the enemy.

I can't help you with the other question though.

thanks for the help anyways Mr Duck

To get the script to work, you would execute it like this:

[unitname, markername, dir] exec "poplach.sqs"

unitname = name of one of the groupmembers

markername = marker where you want the troops to appear

dir = which direction the unit should face

I put in comments below, to explain what it does:

; Get list of units in the group

_sv = units group (_this select 0)

; Somekind of log I guess, gotta try this one day

debugLog _sv

; get total number of units in the group

_n = count _sv

; get position of the marker and direction

_marker = getMarkerPos (_this select 1)

_dir = _this select 2

;set initial count

_i = 0

#presunout

; teleport unit to marker location and set direction

_sv select _i setPos _marker

_sv select _i setDir _dir

; go to the next unit in the group

_i = _i + 1

; check if all units have been teleported

? _i >= _n : goto "konec"

; wait 2-5 seconds before going to next unit

~ random 4 + 1

goto "presunout"

#konec

exit

in Czech..

poplach = alarm

presunout = move over (teleport?)

konec = end

interesting, im guessing this is some kinda script that teleports units to a certain area. Its also used in Vulcan.abel.pbo to teleport 3 t72s, 3 bmps, and 3 infantry groups from the middle of the map to the beach to simulate and invasion.

Which is exactly the reason I always name my variables and scripts in English though I could name them in very cryptic Finnish
