start in cargo?

[SnakeFart]

just as the question asks how do i get a group to start in an vehicle  cause i dont want them to run to it (its in the water)... answer only if there is an init field cause i dont have time to learn scripting with notepad

[Kaliyuga]

well.. you can use this :


unitname moveincargo vehiclename

in their init field and they will start in cargo automatically

*note the unitname and vehiclename are the ones you assign in the mission editor*

Or you could also group them all together (this includes the vehicle) and make the "special" field  read  'in cargo'   instead of 'in formation'
:toocool:

ok i get that and i have another question should i start to name every unit and vehicle when i place them?

Not every soldier nessisary. For intro and cutscenes and the sort its a good idea, but only do it in missions if you're going to use them as a part of a script. If you name everyone you'd have 5345454444546545353565558754563686543557893656536748534575435474536545675447545334535 names to memorize!  

Tanks!

what you can do to have a whole group start out in the vehicle, you can do.

(put in init field of group leader)

grp1 = group this; _x moveincargo veh foreach units grp1

well i think thats how you do it...

I only name units when i need to name them... such as if i was going to need that unit in a script, then I would need to name that unit.

2 days ago I told you how to script in notepad... just give it a try, you can put any command just in there. I was always afraid to use scripts, but on a time I wanted to make a cool cutscene and it had timed shooting and stuff, impossible to do without scripting... so I just put some commands in a notepad, and it worked!! :wow: it was just a wild shot. so, just try some time, fool around.

as for the names, just use names as a1 and a2 or j1 and stuff and for the more imporant guys comm and you or player. that's what I do.
