MOM IAM SORRY.
I see you already have flying sky bonbons now?

At the top you can define many different sets of waypoints:

Code: Select all

local tn = "track1" --L hochstrasse
waypoints[tn] = {}
waypoints[tn][1] = {x=2880 , z=1091}  --1
waypoints[tn][2] = {x=2920 , z=879}  --
...

Not sure why the table is bit silly with the [tn][1] like that, maybe I did not know better at the time?
Make sure each sets of waypoints forms a closed loop.
Units spawn at a random waypoint of the loop and continue from there.

Put your unit names here:

Code: Select all

trafficUnitNames[1] = "redvan"
trafficUnitNames[2] = "whitevan"
trafficUnitNames[3] = "yellowvan"

The strange part with the for-loop is explained by comment and you can just remove it.

wtfisthisshit:

Code: Select all

function gadget:UnitDestroyed(unitID, unitDefID, teamID, attackerID, attackerDefID, attackerTeamID)
	local un = unitname (unitID)
	--if (un == "whitevan" or un == "redvan" or un == "yellowvan" or un == "yellowbus") then
	if (string.find(un, "tpcar_")) then
		units[unitID] = nil
		nUnits=nUnits-1

A counter how many units are alive or something. Do not know why so strange? But should not be too hard to make it less silly.
/edit:
Ah, I remember. The traffic cars unitdefs were "generated" and all named tpcar_number
