Getting someone to sit in a different SEAT
« on: 17 Feb 2003, 08:59:10 »
Is there a way to get someone to sit in a certain spot in cargo?

Like in the Nam choppers, i want the player (me) to sit in a certain seat on the chopper..


any way to do this?

There may be an easier way, but in case there isn't ...

I think (though I haven't checked it) that the game fills up the seats in a particular order.    So, to ensure that your loon sits in the right one, you have to make sure that an appropriate number of other loons get in first.    If there aren't enough soldiers in the squad, use gamelogics to make up the numbers.

To get the player into a particular seat is more tricky, since the game can't control what he does.

Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

yes it does macguba.  :-\

If it's just you and a couple of other guys you can get the rest of the seats 'taken' by creating game logics and naming them. You order the invisible game logics to board the vehicle with
gamelogicname moveincargo vehiclename
Not all is lost.
