Description

Description:

Spawns an agent that will execute an AI path calculation and fire the "PathCalculated" event handler. The vehicle type to simulate could be one of the following presets:

• "man" (will use "C_man_1")
• "car" (will use "C_Offroad_01_F")
• "tank" (will use "B_MBT_01_cannon_F")
• "wheeled_APC" (will use "B_APC_Tracked_01_rcws_F")
• "boat" (will use "C_Rubberboat")
• "plane" (will use "B_Plane_CAS_01_dynamicLoadout_F")
• "helicopter" (will use "B_Heli_Light_01_F")

If the given vehicle type is not one of the above presets, the exact given type is used.

⚠

In order to guarantee that the event handler is added to the result of this command before the path is calculated, use isNil workaround: isNil { calculatePath ["man","safe",[2832.9,5927.79,0],[3107.46,6036.61,0]] addEventHandler ["PathCalculated", { hint str _this }] };

When using this command to get the predicted path of vehicles driving and having them stay on roads (not go cross country) is important, the best vehicle to use is "wheeled_APC" and behaviour careless
