Animated Ikea truck? Moving marked patrols?

[DynaMike]

I would like a MOVING truck (maybe with a live updated marker) to move from 1 position to another on the map.  

The objective would be to intercept and shoot the driver (and co-driver) and then grabbing the vehicle with the loot INSIDE.

If vehicle gets destroyed then some loot will spawn around like a chopper crash.

 

I like the idea of a moving marker (saw it in Wasteland) but it could also just be start and end position shown.

 

Both start position and end position should be randomly set.  So players are able to chase the vehicle but as such not knowing where the mission starts.

 

 

I have tried editing the existing animated crash spawner but had no luck.  Anyone willing or wanting to take on this task?  Creating this would result in unlimited variations for server owners.  They will be able to create missions based on this and activating their players even more.  ATV/MC patrols getting chased.  Policecar on its way to apprehend criminals - intercept and protect your friends = loot

 

The possibilities are MANY.

 

Should be run as an Epoch event.

I'm just waiting for ryker till he wants to make further process.

 

I could try it on my own, but i'm to busy with other projects right now, so i only could help someone to script it, but not to test it.

I'm pretty excited to see the outcome of this, I had an idea once similar to this that involved a moving train, but that was too crazy and I wouldn't even know where to start to script that.

Sorry to interrupt, but try not thinking of an actual convoy with independent soldiers. Try thinking of a group moving together.

If you put each driver of those vehicles in a Group you can assign the driver of the first vehicle as leader, then simply set formation for other units and they will follow the leader even if they're in different vehicles.

FYI - the dev of "Schwede's Convoy Script" will continue and iam pretty sure everyone will just <3 it.

Please be patient and stay tuned.

all that magic stuff is above my level. i have to wait till schwede wakes up ;-)

till then, everyone whos intersted in convoys should take a look at donnovan's convoyscript:
