In my mod i have an actor (actor_abc)who is being driven by another actor (actor_xyz) in a jungle jeep. I want if the jungle jeep is destoryed or the driver is dead that actor_abc will run away to a hiding spot. How do i know where to start the path because the jeep will be moving across 3/4 the map.

You could make zones where the jeep moves through.

If the jeep is in the first zone, set counter to 1, if it is in the 2nd zone, set counter to 2, etc.

Then when vehicle/actor is killed :

ContinueIf counter=1
ExecutePlanTeam 'hide in zone 1'

ContinueIf counter=2
ExecutePlanTeam 'hide in zone 2'

They need to be in seperate blocks.


There are probably other (better) ways.



San's Place l SANSITE

San's Missions v1.1
San's Face Viewer v1.1
San's Vehicle Viewer v1.0

that makes sense. That will take alot of time since i have random triggers with 3 diffrent paths for the actor if he goes in the jeep.

Rather than give him a path to follow, you could just set his movement ROE to "Hold", which will make him take cover somewhere... That way you don't to worry about where he might be on the map when the trigger fires...

You could also make him more aggresive by telling him to suppress, set his alertness to "combat" etc...

The other thing to do would be to use the zones as San suggested, but rather than set a path to get him to a hiding place - he'll run to the start of the path first, which may not be quite what you want - set a location for each zone. Then, in the scripting, tell him to go to the location. That way he'll take the most direct route to cover, instead of run along the road in open ground to get to the start of the path, if you see what I mean. The easiest way to set a location is to place an effect, by the way, and then you can use the name you set to the effect as a location for all aspects of the scripting.
