LoL I can has script that works! :D

btw: Had it for a while, didnt realize anyone would still need it >_<

(script continuous omfghax
(object_create_anew elite)
(object_create_anew wraith)
(unit elite)
(unit wraith)
(unit_enter_vehicle elite wraith "wraith-driver")
(sleep_until (= (vehicle_test_seat_list wraith "wraith-driver" elite) true) 5)
(ai_attach elite wraith-driving/pwnage)
(ai_command_list wraith-driving/pwnage haxdriver)
(sleep_until (= (and (= (unit_get_health elite) 0) (= (unit_get_health wraith) 0)) true)))

This script means:

It makes a elite biped and a wraith. The script makes them both units, and the elite biped enters the wraith. This script waits untill that seat for the wraith is filled by the elite biped, then continues. From there, it attaches it to a encounter, and gives it a command list. Then it sleeps untill both of them die, which makes it start all over again. They perfectly drive the entire command list.

Why/How this happens:

When the biped goes into the vehicle, it doesn't have it's AI yet, so it thinks its still on the ground, not in a vehicle. When the script attaches the biped to the encounter and gives it the command list, the ai believes its on the ground still, not in the vehicle.

The result? A elite in a wraith that perfectly follows the command list and attacks people.

The command list is just a figure eight around the bloodgulch bases, lol.

So with that, I could make a biped go into a vehicle, and just attach an AI encounter, and that would make it behave like the AI?

Yeah. Through it has issues with Pelicans, warthogs, and tanks, but thats fixable within the vehicle tag itself.

I tried with a ghost, but it just stands still and shoots, which misses. I tried attaching elite and spartan AI to both the vehicle and biped. It just drives like a normal AI. I'm trying to make it behave like the campaign ghost.

Did you make a command list? >_<

Yes. The command was initiative enable, and I checked the box that said allow initiative.

That's most likely the problem there - don't ever check the initiative box unless you want them to take their time (in the case of entering a vehicle), or not do it at all (everything else).

Can't let them do it on their own, especially driving - you have to force them to do it.

Nothings working. They don't move at all in the ghost. Sometimes they shoot, but their aim sucks and they don't move around. I remember playing CMT AotCR, and there was a ghost that was driving in circles. Covenant's Canyon PB1 has a ghost that drives normally, I want to make my ghost like that, but he protected the vehicle and AI tags. Is it done with scripts, or is it the AI?

The command list has to have the allow targeting checkbox checked.

After that, It's all up to how you set up the script.
