PLz help with moving empty vehicles!

[CptBravo]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get a squad to get into an empty truck and drive it from point A to point B then dismount and move to point C on foot.

Now I get them in truck by setting them inside with move in cargo command. The problem is how to move them from there? I have tried different WP such as get out, move, transport unload with no luck. I did set up one of the squad members as a driver with no luck! What am I doing wrong???

Thanks

simply putting 'this moveindriver truck' in one of the men's init fields and 'this moveincargo truck' in the other init fields and giving the squad a move waypoint to point b, then a get out waypoint, then another move to point c should work. if it doesnt, try getting them to get into the truck first. put them just outside on the ground with no text in the inits and give them a waypoint 'get in' on the truck, then your moves and get outs. if this doesnt work then i dont know what will.

It works fine if I put them outside I was just wondering if there is a way to make them get out if you start with them in cargo?

Thanks

well just a get out waypoint should be plenty.

[LimeCordial]

or, if that doesnt work, try making a trigger to activate when you want them to get out. name each guy, man, mana, manb etc. and put in on activation field of trigger:

unassignVehicle man; unassignVehicle mana; unassignVehicle manb; etc.

if THAT dont work, try naming the truck and putting the name in place of 'Vehicle'.

there is porbably a way of doing doing it without having to type it all out, as in "_x moveincargo foreach units GROUPNAME" but i dont know what that is.

unless it is simply "_x unassignVehicle foreach units "GROUPNAME", but i dont know.

[LimeCordial]

or is it

"unassignvehicle _x" foreach [man, mana, manb etc]

Hi,

It did work like you said when I did indivdually one by one! A pain if you have 8 squads!! but it did work!! I wish there was an easier way to do it for groups.

But Thank you very much for your help

[LimeCordial]

sure. no problem.

Hi there! i know a easier way to solve your problem. just put an ai driver in the truck (he should not be in the same group as the rest of the guys.) then put the rest in as cargo. then give the driver a waypoint to WP "A" (Transport unload)  then you give the cargo group a waypoint "Get out" and place it next to the Transport unload WP. then you syncronize the two and move them real close to eachother. that should work just fine.
