Scripted waypoints?

[Lumax]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to script waypoints for ground units.

I want a few units going from Wp1 to Wp2 then back to Wp1 so on in a enless loop.

 

Im not sure how to go about doing this with Lua.

The ingame editor does not seem to have a loop/cycle for waypoints

Having tried to do it myself I agree that 'looping' for ground units is impossible using the standard editor tools, however I would imagine that this would be possible using a Lua script. Unfortunately I'm useless with Lua scripting so can't help there :(

I have seen a script that does this. But atm I have no link at hand - probably somewhere in the Mission Builders subforum?

 

When I find it, I will post it here.

It is possible with MiST:

 

place a unit, plot a path. At last WP go to 'Advance WP Action': Run Script

 

mist.ground.patrol('PatrolSector-II', nil, 20)

 

PatrolSector-II is the unit name

What would this code look like to get a Group patrol instead of a Unit? Different?

 

Thanks, WC

Its supposed to be the groupName or a grouptable, not a unit name.
