I am trying to make my own convoys and was curious whether if it was possible to copy and paste (from within the properties file) the waypoints from the first vehicle in the convoy into the other 'Chiefs' traveling behind. I would like for them all follow the same route (to a point) as the first without placing each waypoint for each vehicle individually. I've tried it and for some reason it doesn't work, though it does for aircraft.
If I'm not completely mistaken it can't work for the simple reason that you would put them on top of each others when just copying the exact position of the first vehicle.
You can use the second thru the next to last way points of lead vehicle. But the first and last way points of all the other vehicles must be different to avoid collision.(Rough description but you get the meaning.)
Ahhhhhhhhhh...Methinks now I know what I was doing wrong. My copying included all of the first vehicle's WP's including the first and tentative last as I intended to set one more FINAL-final waypoint for it later (so it didn't end up looking like the Washington Beltway) and then other parking spots individually. That was probably what was throwing off the process. Thanks a million!
actually you only need to alter the first WP by a few numbers...just to seperate the vehicles ...but even if the final WP is the same they wont have any problem ...just as when they meet an obstacle they cannot get around...they will just shuffle and back about until they give up...they will not merge and stay that way .... just for your info.....on that other site (sssshhhh).. there is a fix/mod which allows you to make up your own convoys with whichever vehicle you like and how many you want too..
and they also discovered the US tractor...whci had been in the vehicle list all this time...but not implemented..... I like to have it ploughing fields...going back and forth...or towing bombers etc
