Default Re: Scripting problem - 10-01-2006

I've always had my Alt Roam and Aim actions "active forever." I had all my objective actions at Group 0 until I "thought" your tip indicated that I might have to make the steal action active forever (actually, I tried it both ways).

I have left the "Allied Escape / Axis Attack" actions at "-1" because they seem to work perfectly well that way. No problems with the script turning them on and off.

The "Close-in Axis Defense" actions are the trouble-makers. I have set them to "active forever," two in Group 0 and three in Group 1. They turn on initially via the Goal Tracker. The script turns them off when the docs are taken. BUT THE SCRIPT WON'T TURN THEM BACK ON AGAIN when the docs are recovered. Active forever or not, they just do not re-activate.

My original configuration used the Goal Tracker to control both the Forward Axis Defense (Group 0) and the Close-in Axis Defense (Group 1) actions. The script controlled the Allied Escape actions. The problem with this simpler approach is that if the docs are taken before the door is dynamited, the Forward Defense actions get turned on the same time as the Escape actions, leading to a fragmented Axis effort in recovering the documents.

That's why I'm endeavoring to use the script for the Close-in actions -- so they can be turned off when the Escape is in progress. Trouble is, they won't turn back on when required! Method looks good on paper, though. . .

Denny, I'll send you my stuff if I can figure out how to get the forum e-mail to accept atachments.


A few minutes later:

Ah -- you've got your email set up to "no emails" so I'll just post the waypoint files here. Anyone's welcome to solve my problem!
