BRAVE Troop Deploy Code and Modelling

I have finally debugged the code to tell troops to mount vehicles and deploy on command from the player. The most significant thing about this is that is happens out of sync with the mission progression. It's important in my mission structure as the first part of the mission is to tell the base of an approaching saucer. Comms are down so the only way to tell them is actually fly to the base. The saucer attacks based on the mission progression, so if you don't get there in time, the troops are dumb-founded and stand there helplessly getting blown away. Get there in time and they are given the order to move out. Troops find Humvees, mount up and escape to a new area, where they are deployed to perform further duties.

Here's a vid... note: the men should disappear but don't because startFade(0,0,true) is broken in TGEA 1.0.3 :( If anyone knows how to make entities disappear in TGEA1.0.3 I'd like know.

Now I'm modelling a truck to pull the rocket over to the new base as well. Here's a screenie...


Next I'm going to work on code to make humans build things like tents, and ferry parts to establish a new base. This is an important part of my game to make an arcade shooter with RTS elements which you have to preserve to have a chance of winning.

Oh yeah I bought the Vegetation Pack from Dex-Soft (thanks again!) - I think I have bought almost all their packs :) ... and the Rock Pack from Eivaa Games.
