createvehicle

[StonedSoldier]

please forgive the noobness,

im writing this script where a tank platoon are created, since i cant seem to createunit a crewed tank i thought id create the crew then the empty tank and move the crew in

Code: [Select]

_tank = "t55" createvehicle [(getpos _civvi select 0)+_ran1,(getpos _civvi select 1)+_ran2,0]
~1
_crew1 = (typeof _civvi) createunit [[(getpos _civvi select 0)+_ran1,(getpos _civvi select 1)+_ran2,0],(group _civvi),{this moveindriver _tank}]
_crew1 moveindriver _tank
~1
_crew2 = (typeof _civvi) createunit [[(getpos _civvi select 0)+_ran1,(getpos _civvi select 1)+_ran2,0],(group _civvi),{this moveingunner _tank}]
_crew2 moveingunner _tank
~1
_crew3 = (typeof _civvi) createunit [[(getpos _civvi select 0)+_ran1,(getpos _civvi select 1)+_ran2,0],(group _civvi),{this moveincommander _tank}]
_crew3 moveincommander _tank
~2

_civvi is the name the player,

unfortunatly when i run this script the crew is created and so is the tank but the crew just run towards the player and dont get in

You might need to assignasdriver ....etc, as well as moving them in.

Name each crew in their init section of the createunit command line. Local variable doesn't seem to work for naming them, so use global.
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

_position = [(getpos _civvi select 0)+_ran1,(getpos _civvi select 1)+_ran2,0]
_group = (group _civvi)
_type = "SoldierGcrew"
_skill = 0.8

_tank = "T55" createvehicle _position
~1
_type createunit  [_position, _group, "crew1 = this", _skill, "SERGEANT"]
_type createunit  [_position, _group, "crew2 = this", _skill, "CORPORAL"]
_type createunit  [_position, _group, "crew3 = this", _skill, "PRIVATE"]
~1
crew1 moveincommander _tank
crew2 moveingunner _tank
crew3 moveindriver _tank
~1
group commander _tank allowfleeing 0
exit

tried assigning them as driver etc,

will try the other suggestion later, cant understand why the local varibles should be any different, i use them all the time

eg

Code: [Select]

_man domove getpos _otherman

_man setdammage 1

Crashnburn's got it.

You can't assign a name to a created unit at the front of the statement...
You can with createvehicle, but not with createunit (don't ask me why )

cant understand why the local varibles should be any different

bug in OFP... again...
