you can put this in every1s init field

this moveincargo vehicle

there is one command that you can just put in the squad leaders init field and it will do it for everyone, but I cant remember what command it is :(

its like "groupthis" or something like that :-\

Yep, that works fine... thanks ;D... Now to another problem, how do you make'em disembark again, I tried puting a unload waypoint for the wehicle and a disembark waypoint for the units that are in the cargo of the vehicle, but it doesn't seem to work... :-\ Any suggestions...
Thanks in advance :)

an the one to put in leaders init would be:"_x moveInCargo vehiclename" foreach units groupname
...I think!?! ::)

an easy solution without init field stuff is to make a transport unload wp for the vehicle and a get out wp for the d00ds in it (if it's leaded by an AI you should give the wp to him) and synchronize them (f5)

now, since we're on this topic, how can you remove ie. a gunner from the start. so, if you got a blackhawk with mg, I want to remove the gunner. until now, I always just made an empty vehicle but I have the feeling this is more work than it should be  :-\

thnx in advance and hope this helps you bizon

EDIT: dunno if this is what you tried already, but make sure it isn't an unload wp but a transport unload wp

Bizon: k, to put it in leaders init, use this:

group1 = group this; "_x moveincargo vehicle" Foreach units group1
