get in jeep script

[Dominaatori]

yeah I was wondering why this script doesn't work there are probably a million reasons. Im a total noobie to scripting for ofp. I don't know what scripting language its based on, im familiar to c++ so... well here it is

; Conversation one between self and officer

_Officer = _this select 0
_Self = _this select 1
_Car = _this select 2

[_Officer] AssignAsDriver _Car
[_Self] AssignAsCargo _Car

TitleText["Get in the car, we are going to drive to an airport nearby", "plain down"]

~3

[_Officer] OrderGetIn true
[_Self] OrderGetIn true
exit

 You should give us the error message exactly as it appears......if there is one.

Any way try this:

_officer = _this select 0
_self = _this select 1
_car = _this select 2

_officer assignAsDriver _car
_self assignAsCargo _car

TitleText["Get in the car, we are going to drive to an airport nearby", "plain down"]

~3

[_officer, _self] orderGetIn true
exit

Although.if _self is the player, I doubt you can force the player to get in a vehicle.

This may also help:

_officer = _this select 0
_self = _this select 1
_car = _this select 2

disableuserinput true

_officer assignAsDriver _car
_self assignAsCargo _car

TitleText["Get in the car, we are going to drive to an airport nearby", "plain down"]

~3

[_officer, _self] orderGetIn true
disableuserinput false
exit

Planck is correct, the assignAs commands take an object, not an array.  It is the square brackets [ ] that are messing things up.

[Dominaatori]

well ok but I have tried without the [] brackets on the assignas command but still didn't work ? ? ? I have tried almost every way. Still doesn't work? ??
But u mean it should be _Officer AssignAsDriver _Car ? not [_Officer] assignasdriver _Car ?

And yeah I didn't want the player to be forced in the car, I just wanted the yellow arrow to pop up. How do you do that ?

Ok when I get home I will check the error message out, im writing this from work.

[Dominaatori]

Yeah the error messages were:
on the assignas this error came: Error type string, expected object
and on the ordergetin this error came: Error type string, expected array

[Dominaatori]

Ok I fixed it, no errors come but the officer still doesnt get in the car !?
here is the script

; Conversation one between self and officer

_officer = _this select 0
_self = _this select 1
_car = _this select 2


"_officer assignAsDriver _car"
"_self assignAsCargo _car"

TitleText["Get in the car, we are going to drive to an airport nearby", "plain down"]

~3

[_officer] orderGetIn true
exit

Now that's all wrong.. using the "" on the assignAs part...
Weird that it does not give you an error message...

How do you call the script??
Judging from the error messages you call like ["officername","playername","carname"]
should be called
[officername,playername,carname]...

The unit names (the names you have given them) are global variables, not strings..


I may be totally 'off the charts' though ...

[Dominaatori]

Your right... im so embaressed  , I didn't notice it. Of course you cannot use "" signs when objects are the case.
