You need to use the getMarkerPos command to get the position of a marker, and the createVehicle command to create a vehicle.

Thus, your code would look like the following:

Code: [Select]

"skidoo" createVehicle getMarkerPos "rent1"

[CrashnBurn]

If you want the vehicle to be pointed a certain direction, give it a name when creating it like this -

car1 = "skidoo" createvehicle getmarkerpos "rent1"; car1 setdir 90

You can do this with a trigger if you want...no script necessary.

Not having all the details of your problem, I'll take a guess at the issue.

Probably what's going on is that you have not defined one of the playable units to be the player.  That is, you have selected either "playable" or "not playable" for each unit, while not making one of them "player".

If you do not have a unit marked as "player", then the editor does not allow you to place empty objects (which includes vehicles).  Thus, change any one of the playable units to "player", then your problem will be solved.

Player simply denotes which unit the player will be in a single player game, but it does not restrict your unit choice in multiplayer.  In multiplayer, the player unit acts just like any other playable unit in that you have the option of choosing it, but are not forced to choose it.
