Thank you very much Gabriel for doing this. I am really very busy lately, but I promise that I will answer all the questions presented here related to the tools guys. Because the idea is that they can have fun with them

How do i create a simple APC patrol route?

Advanced Path Tool... this tool allows create waypoints for large NPCs like Helicopters combine or APC for example.

Every time you right click you create a new waypoint for the npc you have chosen in the menu, in "Unit Type" select box.

if the option "visible waypoints" is checked, waypoints show in different color depending of unit class selected... for APCs, the color show is cian

just one waypoint alone is not enough, you must create several, one in each corner, where you want the NPC turn or change direction... the minimun value waypoint amount for route is 2 waypoints.

you can delete the last waypoint in the letter "R" if you got the wrong location..

Finally, press richt click for finish and close the path.

When the NPC reaches the end, it will execute the action that you had selected in the tool (on "end of route" select box) when closing the route with the right click

This is just the basics, but you can do a lot more, the tool gives almost total control over the NPC, each waypoint can make the NPC perform a specific action, like bombing (helicopters combine) or deploying a strider (Dropships).

If you want the route not to be deleted when the NPCs is removed, you must uncheck the option "Delete path by dissapering all units"

To create a route for APCs:
1) Choose the unit "Combine APC" in "Type of unit" select box

2) Choose the action that the APCs should take when reaching the end of route watpoint in the "end of route" select box

3) Choose a key to activate the route upon completion. This will start the generation of NPCs that will follow the route

4) Using the left click of the tool, create the waypoints one by one, through which the npc must pass. Remember that only one is needed each time the NPC needs to change direction, do not overdo placing waypoints, only use the necessary ones

5) Finish the route with right click. This closes the circuit joining the waypoints and creates a "director" entity, which will be in charge of managing the NPCs of the route. from this point it is ready to be used.

6) Press the activation key you set in the menu to activate or stop the route.

Enjoy!

Hi!
I don't know how to deploy some troops, striders, APC with the dropship.
Someone can help ?
Thanks.

"Could you explain, in a simple way, how to use the dropship? Specifically, how to use that method because I didn't see anything similar to it in the video, only that they are already functional."

I will upload a video tutorial shortly on how to create a dropship route by spawning an APC, which will also move on its own route.


please, be patient
