make cars appear

[marcus3]

ok now. i want it where when i radio alpha a car appears right beside me.
somebody know how to do this.

Make your Radio Alpha trigger......

In the Activation field put:

fred = "nameofmysupercar" createvehicle getpos player

fred can be any name of your choosing, but the name in quotes must be the correct object name.



Planck

[marcus3]

it says "createvehicle" is un knowen

[Planck]

What exactly are you typing in the On Activation field of your trigger?


Planck

[marcus3]

jason = "ferrari modena 360" createvehicle getpos player
and the same thing happens

[Planck]

You need to find out the cars proper object name.

Look in its config.cpp.

As a test try this:

fred = "skoda" createvehicle getpos player

ok i tried it and still says. un knowen opearator createvehicle. even with sportcar instead of skoda
i am playing opf ver 1.45 not res does that make a chang to things

[Planck]

But...............I have just tried the very same thing ingame........it works perfectly.

The default cars in OFP have the following class names:

Skoda
SkodaRed
SkodaGreen
SkodaBlue
Rapid
RapidY

The OFP sports car is in fact "Rapid" and the yellow one is "RapidY".

Note that the quotation marks need to be there when you write it in your trigger's on activation field.
fred = "skoda" createvehicle getpos player

Ah I see the version problem now. Try camcreate instead of createvehicle. camcreate should make the car totally useless though..

[Planck]

It won't make a difference for the default OFP cars.......not too sure about the "Rapid" and "RapidY" though.

Also if the car you are trying is made for Resistance it might not work in 1.46.

However you will need to get the cars class name from the readme or config.


EDIT:  createVehicle is ok for version 1.46

EDIT:  createVehicle is ok for version 1.46

not for my 1.46 it's not.  ;D

[Planck]

Hmmmmm.........According to my comref it was introduced in version 1.34.


Have you tried it again recently Artak?


Planck

[Planck]

Sorry Artak, but I just tried it in 1.46.......works ok here.

Try it again.


Planck

[Triggerhappy]

well, seeing as marcus isn't typing in the config name of the vehicle, I'd say that's what his problem is....
