refueling vehicles + questions

[gadolinite]

How do you get the AI to refuel a vehicle?  

How do you get a unit to pull into a gas station without crashing into it or anything else (works 100% of the time, or close)?

I am setting up a bus route.  

If the fuel level of a bus is low (around 20% full) then the bus will pull into a station and refuel itself, then resume its route.

Actually, you don't need to force the bus to refuel itself... Just lead it into the gas station and refuel it through the command "_Bus setFuel 1" (Notice that 0 is empty and 1 is full)

Now, about getting it into the gas station... Well, it seems you'll need a script.

In such script you could:

- Force the bus to move close to the gas station
- get its velocity (right before stopping) and set its velocity towards the gas station

Nothing very difficult, indeed.

I did not try to use the setvelocity command.  I have been just trying to just get it in with conventional commands such as domove getpos, and waypoints.  I also tried subtracting the gas station position array components by two, or so.  No luck.

How do you apply the velocity commands to this situation

setvelocity pushes a vehicle in a direction , it doesnt make it turn just pushes it sideways, i dont know if it can be used in this situation but here's something i wrote to help people with setvelocity:

basic velocity
[X,Z,Y] this is just how the numbers are arranged so facing north (default compass direction , 0 ,the command

this setvelocity [10,10,10]

would send the vehicle 10speed to the right, 10 speed forward and 10speed UP whereas

this setvelocity[-10,-10,10]

would send it 10speed to the left, 10 speed backwards and 10speed up
though take in mind using a - number for the verticle would send the vehicle crashing down (if its in the air, and sometimes when its not) to earth and a bug that if you set the verticle too HIGH it hits the ground and gets destroyed, i dunno why that happens though

Guide to the Directions Setvelocity send the vehicle , relative to vehicles Azimut Heading
FACING NORTH
Y=Verticle*  a normal # is UP a -# is DOWN
Z=Forward/backward, normal # is FORWARD, a -# is BACKWARD
X= -Left/+Right (-# is LEFT: normal # = RIGHT on vehicles facing north)

FACING EAST X with a normal # is forward X with -# is backward:  Z with normal # is LEFT, Z with - # is RIGHT

FACING WEST
X with a -# is FORWARD X with normal number is BACKWARDS:Z with normal # is RIGHT, Z with - # is LEFT

FACING SOUTH
Z with a -# is FORWARD, Z with normal # is BACKWARD: X with a -# is RIGHT and a normal # is LEFT.

hope that helps the people who wanna use setpos

N.B
* means that it is a constant, no matter which Compass direction the direction this sends the vehicle remains the same
-# = A MINUS NUMBER E.G. -100
normal # = a positive number e.g 100
[X,Y,Z] replace any letter with a number

i hope you guys understand this
if not ill try and re-write it so you do
