Armed support

[tankieboy]

Hi gang,

I have a problem. I am into making my supports into packets i.e. repair truck would have a cargo hummer and a mg hummer for support of the trucks.

All are placed as empty with a squad as moveInDriver(s), moveInGunner and moveInCargo(s) for the vehicles with the leader as a driver of the command hummer and a support waypoint set.

The problem is when repair support is called they turn up and dismount as expected, however I want the mg hummer gunner to stay where he is (in the gunners position) on over watch for the support group.

I have tried putting this [gunnersname moveInGunner hummersname] in the init box of the support waypoint but it does not work.

Please help.

First do:
<unit> assignasgunner <vehicle>

Maybe you are also required to do:
[<unit>] ordergetin true

If you should have problems getting him out of the vehicle:
unassign <unit>
[<unit>] ordergetin false

Thanks. I will try tonight.

this assignAsGunner ammoe; [this] orderGetIn true

What am I doing wrong?

[WaCkO]

try using the units name instead of "this"

tankieboy, why don&#39;t you just seperate only the
hummer gunner from the group and put him into his
own 1man group?

By using this way, you wouldn&#39;t need to bother playing
around with assignaswoteva or orderGetin stuff.

I mean: it&#39;s also possible to do it with the gunner being
in the group, but is it worth all that if you can do it that easy too?

Thanks for your help guys, I will try both after work. I did&#39;nt think of the seperate group thing, duh. I will have to name the guy and guysname moveInGunner vechilename I assume.

[Chris Death]

Or you do not name him and use just: this moveingunner blabla
in his init field.

Up to you, wether you want to access him later during the mission or not.

I just un-grouped him and it worked (I am so thick). He needs a kick in the nuts to react to the enemy. I will raise his skill and see if that helps.

Thanks once again guys.

Also you could give him a waypoint exactly onto him.

Waypoint settings:

firemode: open fire
behaviour: combat
