How do you make one group follow another??

[Wobble]

I cant figure it out..

Scenario:


Group 1: 4 T80s

Group 2" BMP with troops


I group of 4 tanks going from 1 village to the next.. halfway I want them to meet a BMP with troops in it (mech infin) and I want the BMP to follow the tanks.. what do I do?? I noticed the "Join" and "Join and lead" but I cannot seem to get it to.. the tanks just drive right past the the BMP doesent follow.

Ive seen it done over and over.. but HOW does it work? can someone tell me.. OR BETTER yet e-mail me an example mission so I can learn by example.

thanks in advance.

Reduce the the No. of t80's to 3, You can only have 12 soldiers in a group, 4 t80's will already have 12 crew members, and bmp will have 3 crew, unless you have grouped a squad to the bmp.

3 t80's
1 bmp (3 crew only, the squad dosen't have to be grouped with the bmp to board it)

Easiest way

Another way is script method. Make a notepad file in your user/missions/missionname directory, name it convoy.sqs and add this:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">; Script Call&#58;
;
; 1&#58; &#91;15, 25, 2, _car1, _car2 &#93; exec &#34;convoy.sqs&#34;
; 2&#58; &#91;15, 25, N, _car1, ......, _carN &#93; exec &#34;convoy.sqs&#34;
;
; _stdis = minimum distance between cars
; _limdis = maximum distance between cars
; _nrCars = Number Of Cars in the convoy

_stdis = _this select 0
_limdis = _this select 1
_nrCars = _this select 2

#Start

_vStart = 3
_vEnd = 3 + _nrCars

#Check

_car1 = _this _select _vStart
_car2 = _this _select &#40;_vStart+1&#41;

_distance = _car1 distance _car2
?&#40; _distance &#60; _stdis &#41;&#58; _car2 Stop true;
_car2 Stop false
?&#40; _distance &#60; _limdis &#41;&#58; _car2 SetSpeedMode &#34;LIMITED&#34;
_car2 SetSpeedMode &#34;NORMAL&#34;

_vStart = _vStart + 1;
?&#40; _vStart &#60; &#40;_vEnd - 1&#41; &#41;&#58; Goto &#34;Check&#34;

~5
Goto &#34;Start&#34;

Call the script up in an activation field by tying this:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">&#91;_stdis, _limdis ,carname1,carname2, etc... &#93; exec &#34;convoy.sqs&#34;[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>
