Hi!

Currently I'm trying to create a vertibird encounter. The vertibird will land, 3 Enclave Soldiers will drop off and one of them will talk to the player. The problem is, the Enclave soldiers dont move to their designated markers. Here is the script, and click http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/8797/vertibirdproblem.jpg for a screenshot of the setup. On the screenshot, the 3 xMarkerheadings are the landingmarker and the A and B marker, and the 3 guys in the rocks to the right have to be moved. Any suggestions? And do I have all the needed refs?

Objects:
3 guys to the right are FEVTestBaseEnclaveOfficerVertibird, FEVTestBaseEnclaveSoldier1Vertibird and FEVTestBaseEnclaveSoldier2Vertibird, who use different actor bases. These are their refs.

The 3 markers are VertibirdLandingMarker (linked ref) and VertiBirdDropoffMarkerA and VertiBirdDropoffMarkerB.

I guess I am a little confused as to how this CAN work.

I don't see moves on the solders, I see a bunch of placeatme, which is different?

If you have 3 particular soldiers you want to move, you would be assigning them REF names (you double click the object in the world, and there is a text box at the top, that's where you put the REF name) and then you move that REF name to the marker.

It doesn't seem like the placeatme instances even belong, it seems like you wanted to use those particular 3 enclave and that's not what placeatme does. ???
