Proceed and Hold for Ground Forces

[Eugene Tackleberry]

Hi guys. I've been messing around with the mission editor for some time and having a blast doing so.

 

One thing I'm a bit stuck on is being able to tell my blue convoy of tanks to proceed to a certain waypoint. I have been messing around with triggers and radio items but there isn't an option for ground forces to 'switch waypoint' like when assigned to an aircraft group.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated :joystick:

Unfortunately, you'll need to use a .lua script to dynamically assign waypoints to ground units.

 

You can use GROUP HOLD and GROUP RESUME to stop and start them with the native ME triggers, but you'll need to use MiST or a similar scripting framework to make them drive to a particular place on command.

 

The function you're looking for is called mist.groupToPoint if memory serves. There are some modifiers to add afterwards where you can tell them how fast to drive, what formation to drive in, and whether or not to use roads. The hoggit wiki should have everything you need. :)
