Defending a line

[Odenathus]

Hi again

I want side 1,Team 5 to defend a line of wagons, so initially set them to 64. The line runs from 39,47 to 39,26.

After (if) the line is breached by any of Side 0 except light troops, Team 5 needs to be released to attack them wherever they are on general attack 16, + ignoring light troops 128: is this...

{
if(side==0)
{IfPlayerUnitIn(39,47,39,26,1)==1)
{MoveTeamCoord(1,5,-1-1,144);
}
}
}

Cheers

Looks about right to me. Try it and let me know if it doesn't work as you wish.

No joy unfortunately, the BSF accepted the script after some wrestling with the right number of {, but it didn't affect Team 5's actions in the battle, they weren't triggered by Side 0's units entering that area..

Do I dimly remember from our P&S days that these areas can't be single lines, but have to be a box, i.e. at least one square wide/deep? I may be making that up.

Best email me the scenario and let me try it. Or at least the scripts.

I think "if(side==0)" should actually read "if(side==1)". That might be the problem?

That was it Paul, Richard solved via a direct e-mail. Ta.
