Getting a General to disembark from special cars in a convoy

[sharkyjoe]

Sit Rep: East General is in a convoy, reaches house, gets out for certain time, gets back into vehicle and the convoy takes off.
Problem: I can not get the E. General to get out of car.
Have Done:  For the convoy; I have use men grouped together form Major to private as drivers because I have used this moveindriver or moveincargo and many different empty vehicles (convertible cadillac, motorcycles, jeepmachgn) for desired affect of convoy.  E. Gen. is not assigned to group but is in a jeep as moveincargo.
Waypoints do not work for getting him to disembark the vehicle once at the house. However they do work for moving the convoy along the path.
Any Ideas???
Thanks

Maybe you can use action, like

<object name of the general> action ["get out", vehicle <object name of the general>]

and

unassignVehicle <object name of the general>

It worked with "eject" action, if you want someone to jump out of a chopper.

Example here:

Give the jeep driver group a transport unload waypoint at the house.    The general has a getout waypoint there.     Synchronise the two.    If it still doesn't work put an unAssignVehicle command for the general in the waypoint, that should help.

while on this subject, does anyone know of a way to force a person to ride in the back seat with only one person up front (driver)?

just curious....

With a car?

Well this is what I would do....

Car = car1

Driver = man1
Passenger = man 2
Passenger = man 3
Passenger = man 4

Name the guys after you create them so you remember their correct order… I believe the game remembers who sits where on the order they were created.

man1 moveindriver car1

man2 moveincargo car1; deleteVehicle man2

With using deleteVehicle man2 your guy should vanish (front seat) in the start of the game allowing the others to be sitting in the back… Try it out and let us know

man3 moveincargo car1

man4 moveincargo car1

I hope this helps you out Keou,

The unassignvechicle worked like a charm.   Waypoints did not work for me. Matter of fact I could load the Gen. back up if I needed to.
Thanks guys problem solved, sorry I didn't Hit solve button earlier but its summer here in the north hemi. of USA
