Ping nearest bases

[Asdfblah1]

[RESOLVED] Apparently, if you set a temp_point based off a point that already exists, and then remove it, BOTH points are removed! In this trigger, notice that I never set the Base_Locations. When I set the temp_point to equal one of them and remove the temp_point, both points are gone. I fixed it by changing the cinematic to:

• Cinematic - Ping minimap for (Player group((Triggering player))) at Base_Locations[(Integer B)] for 5.00 seconds

and removing the temp_point setting entirely in the last for loop.

If someone needs a 'get nearest point' in GUI, here ya go.

This trigger supposedly pings the nearest 4 bases (listed in base_locations[]) relative to the player's footman.
It's suppose to set all of the base distances in base_unsorted, find the smallest number (nearest), stick it in base_pinger[], set the chosen base_unsorted to some ridiculous value so it won't be picked again, and do it again 3 more times. Base_unsorted values are reset so the original base_location can be found and pinged.

Currently, the command pings the 4 nearest bases flawlessly but after consecutive uses of the command, all unpinged bases are pinged eventually. When there are no bases left, it just pings the center of the map. What am I doing wrong?
