High Command Module

[Raptor]

Hi,
how do I get it work?
I tried the structure/discription on the bikpage several times but it didn't work.
Maybe I forgot something, so what modules and objects must I place on the map to get it work?

Thanks.

This one's relatively simple


Make your groups of men, say, one command group (you as the leader/player), two patrols, and a support/weapons group


Then create Higher Command Commander Game Logic, and sync it to your player character

Make two (or as many as you want) Higher Command Subordinate GL's, and sync this to the leaders of your groups (in this example, sync the patrols to one, and the support team to the other)

Sync the subordinate GL's to the commander GL

Start the game, and then press ctrl+space to switch to the higher command interface.

It's a bloody great system, I only wish the artillery module was integrated in to it as well so you could command artillery under your control on the fly

ok thanks, I don't know that I must press ctrl+space.
Yes its really nice and fun.

Ahhh. That's why I never could figure out how to control the other groups in the Campaign.... ctrl+space, I never saw that in the Biki. After reading it over and over I'm shocked I never saw this.

Thanks for the info.

EDIT:
Wow! What a great feature. It's good to see something like this.

Say, can you have 2 High Command - Commander GL link together?

eg.
Commander0

Commander1----------Commander2
subordinate ---------- subordinate
subordinate ---------- subordinate
subordinate ---------- subordinate

so that you could have a company, but as company commander, you only give orders to your platoon leaders. if it works, we can have real chain of command

To do that you'd set it up like this:

Company Commander
Synced to: GL Higher Command Commander 1


Platoon Leader 1
Synced to:
GL Higher Command Sub 1
GL Higher Command Commander 2

GL Higher Command Sub 1
Synced to: GL Higher Command Commander 1


Fire Team 1
Synced to:
GL Higher Command Sub 2

GL Higher Command Sub 2
Synced to: GL Higher Command Commander 2


Fire Team 2
Synced to:
GL Higher Command Sub 3

GL Higher Command Sub 3
Synced to: GL Higher Command Commander 2


Fire Team 3
Synced to:
GL Higher Command Sub 4

GL Higher Command Sub 4
Synced to: GL Higher Command Commander 2




That way the Company Commander commands the platoon leader, who in turn controls three fire teams.

I don't see why not

Yep, that works fine for me. Great! Had tried it before in this way, but I think I had some group links slip in when they should all be syncs.

A reasonably complex HC example (demo and screenshots).
