Controlling multiple objects

[TACRfan]

Is there a way I can command multiple objects to redirect via one command on another object?

 

so I have two signs which are technically vehicles that I want at either end of the road and then I want an object next to the fire station with the redirect command which will make these signs start redirecting vehicles.

 

i could do it so the signs redirect individually and then link it as a group but I would much rather if it's possible linking them to one object and one command.

 

thanks

I'm not sure what you mean but if you click on units while holding ctrl you can select multiple at once.

What I mean is you have an object (let's say the warning lights for a railway crossing, but it is actually classed as a vehicle) that object has a redirect command, there is also one of these at each end of a road, if you activate that command it redirects all vehicles in front of it, you have to press it individually or as you say hold CTRL and press both of them and activate it so both start re directing.

 

what I want to know is if there is a way to have both of the objects at the end of the road as before but then have a control panel outside the station with the redirect command which activates both signs instead of them individually.

 

3 objects

2 to redirect vehicles at either end of the road

1 to control both of the objects that redirect

Hm Dyson made Brooklyn or manhattan fire fighters go out and stop traffic maybe somewhere along those lines? It's definitely possible tho biebersfield had a traffic light next to station to stop traffic which you could press using the engine

Short answer, yes it is possible. 

I dont have my computer on me, but what you basicly want is to name the two vehicle the same thing and then use a for loop to call both of them at the same time. 

The only major problem I can see with your idea is that it isn't possible for vehicles to redirect, it is only possible for persons. So it would be much easier if you changed your signs to be persons instead

I mean using the VCmddirectional lights command

Seems like a little weired workaround if you ask me. But sure it is possible. You just need to call it with a for loop

GameObjectList gol = Game::GetGameObjects("NameOfTheVehicle");
    GameObject *go;
    for (int i = 0; i < gol.GetNumObjects(); i++)
    {
        go = *gol.GetObject(i);
        go->PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, "VcmdDirectionalLightsOn", go, 0, false);
    }

Something like that

Ok thanks
