Squad-Based Gameplay

[Dwood]

"await commands"

not "await for commands"

Yeah I know. :P Was too lazy to fix that.

What I mean is if you tell the AI to advance incrementally in front of the player then how do they know where that is?

edit:
I guess he has a bunch of squads set up sequentially and the script says for each one: "if you're told to move forward, advance to the next squad in the sequence."

Basically. I can set up a method to get the ai to move ahead of the player but currently the method I have for ai advancing is by telling where the ai are and moving them ahead. I guess they don't move ahead of the player per se but rather they themselves move ahead incrementally. Requires a fairly... linear gameplay at the moment as I don't know how much script space I can use up.

Most of the lines of script, are not even continuous, for efficiency. There's only 3 continuous scripts.
