Tanks Crew - 5 man on tank by default

[ciecato]

There is any way to set up a tank to have 5 members of crew?

I mean i know i can set it as "transportsoldier=2;" so i will have Commander, Gunner, Driver and two loaded people, but  i have to load the two trasported soldier during a mission, or when i create the mission...

I ask if i can force 2 "cargo" to be loaded on my tank by default.

How do you get two passengers onto a tank during a mission?  I didn't know you could do that.

I think he means that he wants guys to be in cargo from the start. Put this in yer units inits lines

this moveincargo VehicleName

IÂ'm not sure if he meant this though

There's no way to get 5 men fit in one tank (?) Unless it's a bmp or m2a2 'cause they hold cargo space.

it isn't a problem to have or not two soldier as cargo in a tank, it can be done by adding proxies in the 3d model and by ading "trasportSOldoer=2;" to the cpp...
my problem is there i a way to force those two soldiers to be into tank from start whithout doing it by a mission script...
i want my tank have this two soldiers as cargo or crew (as you prefer) always and in any situation....

You mean set the tank to have a default of 5 crew?

(ie add a West->M1A1 to the map and it already has 5 crew)

[macguba]

If the answer to teeBore's question is "Yes" then you'll have to create a specific addon.

Unless, of course, you put the relevant code in init.sqs .... that might ring your bell.

[ciecato]

Yes.. the answer is yes,
i'm just doing an addon a "Jagdpanther", it has 5 members of crew...
Gunner, Driver, Commander, Loader and Radio Operator.

I want that i add my jadg on the map and it already have 5 people on...

I know that i can't create two more "jobs" as Loader and  Radio Operator, this is the why i want to realize them by "2 cargo men" that have to be loaded by default..

there is a way? also a script but a script called in the "addon".cpp and not a mission script...

Can you undersatnd what i need?

thanks...

[macguba]

Yep, now I understand exactly what you need.   Unfortunately the only thing I know about addons is how to spell it ....

Edit:   thinks - this thread might be better off on one or the Addon boards

[ciecato]

I do it soon

thanks for suggestion
