2 semi stupid question

[streetrat]

Hey ya'll. I have 2 questions for you mappers out there. Just to let ya know, I've been playin deltaforce since BHD and makin maps almost as long, but there are 2 things I can not figure out. 1: How do I make the waypoints show in my minimap and make them advance. I know I have to use events and I've done that but it still won't work. 2: How do I get my AI team mates to follow me? Example, we arrive at a destination and need to go into a tent for a briefing, I want my team to go along but they just stay in the vehicle. If someone would be kind enough to give me step by step examples I would be most appreciative. I know that's askin a lot but this is drivin me nuts. I'm buildin in DFX2. Thank you so much for any help provided.

Which delta force is this? those two questions are very well game specific.

The waypoints you want to follow should be checked as "BLUE TEAM" waypoints. And to advance the waypoints you'll need to make events and use those events to trigger the advance.

I've made a example waypoint map for DFX2 and it's availiable for download on my website.

You can download it here , or check out my websites' MED HELP Page.

Delta Force Xtreme2. I also have the BO Mod for it and I figure the procedure is the same for both versions.

Dave, when I click on your links it doesn't go anywhere, just sits and says waiting on home.comcast.net. I also tried copying and pasting the address directly, same thing.

The link works for me, but goto my website and download it directly. The link for the waypoint example map is on my Med Help page.

It was my stupid internet acting up as usual. The links work fine and your site is awesome. Thanks for the help there. Now, any ideas about my other question on how to make team members follow you around? I've tried everything I know, events, triggers, etc.. and nothing I do works.

[dave61]

Try this, redirect the group to waypoint 127 (goto player).

[streetrat]

That didn't work either lol. I tried it with the team mates as a group, individually, tried me as player and by SSN. I can get em to go to a waypoint once the blackhawk lands but thats about it. If I set the group to follow a way point they ain't really following me. Gawd this is aggravating lol.

[dave61]

Huh, that should have worked.

Just to make sure that it does work for you make a test map and try the redirect to 127 again in the test map. If it does work in your test map, then recheck your events to make sure there are not any conflicting events.

[streetrat]

Ok, that worked. I was using start, player. It has to be Player. Thank's for the help!!

[dave61]

Glad that worked for you.

There are so many things that work against you when bugs are present ... you wouldn't believe, lol.

It always helps to recheck events and everything ... if you need help error checking your map just ask ... I'll be glad to help !

tip
team maps like teamdeath match (TDM) or Team King of the hill (TKOH) use team color to set players to spawn to loaction's.

like as red team spawn (for sample) each game maybe set to team color red, yellow, purple, blue.

*very to the game DF2 has them all them team color's! but later on nova left out purple and yellow team color's on new version games.

Generally Red team is AI, so need to reset their team color like you like them tobe on Blue team AIs as to watch over blue team base or air field.

Also tested ok for me...from AU servers
comcast on US servers, could be your network settings.
