"Switch waypoint" for ground vehicles

[Megagoth1702]

Hey folks.

 

I know there is currently no way to do this in the mission editor. Is there any kind of work around? Scripts maybe?

 

I dont really think setting 150 waypoints (or even more) for a group to just circle around in a specific area is a good solution.

 

Thanks in advance.

Not yet. It is something we direly need.

 

There is one workaround available. Its sorta a strange little idea that I worked on. Basically you use "switch formation" triggers and formation templates to create a patrol.

 

All formations are relative to the first unit in a group. So if you make 4 formations where the 2nd unit is NE, NW, SW, and SE and then trigger each formation at a set interval, you can create the appearance of movement even without defined waypoints for the group.
