Unable to revert infantry back to other waypoints

[Kreye]

Hi guys

 

I can't get my infantry to e.g. go back from waypoint 8 to 2 and have them run the pattern again. It works fine with tankers and awacs.

 

Any ideas?

Under triggered actions -> commands you can find "go to waypoint"

 

Create a series of trigger zones at the group's different waypoints, then create a series of triggers:

 

SWITCHED CONDITION (Group at WP1, NO EVENT)

 

PART OF GROUP IN ZONE (Group 1, WP 2)

 

AI TASK PUSH (Group 1, 1. Go to waypoint 2...)

 

etc. etc.

 

Alternately you can use MiST or MOOSE to create patrols if you aren't opposed to writing .lua

 

If you want an example of how to do this with built in Mission Editor stuff, check out my training range HERE which has a couple of convoys set up this way.

I don't think Go to waypoint works for ground units.

Suuure does. See the attached .miz in the post I linked for examples.

It's not something you can do without triggers like you can with aircraft, but it is very much possible via AI TASK PUSH.

Good to know it works with triggers, thanks!

I don't seem to be able to select an AI TASK from the drop down list:

I have the waypoint tasks set up:

Fixed, I was not adding the actions in the 'triggered actions'!

Another possibility is to set a flag and set this flag as a condition in the Task.
