Switching Vehicles Mid Air

[modderman]

In a mission Im making, I am trying to move the pilot into a missile so he can guide it, and move the gunner into the pilots seat to control the Helicopter while the pilot is busy.

The problem is, I eject them from the aircraft and they go into a parachute, and can't be moved out...

_heli = _this select 0
_missile = _this select 1

_unit = driver _heli
_gunner = gunner _heli

 _unit Action ["Eject",_heli]
 _unit moveindriver _missile

_gunner Action ["Eject",_heli]
 _gunner moveindriver _heli

exit

Also is there a command to make the players input be inacted on another unit, so that the player is techinically controlling another unit?
there is the switchcamera command, but it dosn't switch over the players control to control a missile

setPos them out instead of ejecting them.. you might not even have to do that, just moveinDriver MIGHT work.

Code: [Select]

unitname action ["movetodriver",vehiclename]

That might work.

I would try:

unassignVehicle Pilotname
Pilotname assignAsDriver missilename
Pilotname moveindriver missilename
unassignVehicle Gunnername
Gunnername assignAsDriver choppername
Gunnername moveinDriver choppername

Then when you want to put the pilot back

unassignVehicle Gunnername
Gunnername assignAsGunner choppername
Gunnername moveinGunner choppername
Pilotname assignAsDriver choppername
Pilotname moveinDriver choppername


Not tested, and there may be some un-necessary stuff there.

Bear in mind that the pilot and the gunner will remain in the same group troughout and I presume there for that the chopper will follow the missile.
