Get in Waypoint AI Platoon -> HMMWVs

[Hank Rearden 10]

So I'm working on a mission where a stranded platoon of marines in HMMWV's (AI) is reinforced by a player platoon. The system I'm working with now relies on the players to arrive (starting a timer) which counts down for the length of time necessary to provide security. The AI platoon is in 4 HMMWV's (their fifth is destroyed) which are empty vehicles. I've already split the platoon into groups for each HMMWV as opposed to their real squad structure and each 'squad' has a designated gunner and driver.

I'm trying to use sentry Mode: Combat, Formation: Line, Fire at will for the platoon squads while dismounted. Then once they are ready to mount up (players have provided security and got them through the ambush) they are supposed to follow a GET IN waypoint synchronized to a trigger and get in to their remaining HMMWV's.

The HMMWV convoy moves out and is subsequently deleted once safely gone and the players head off to their second objective.

ISSUE: AIs will not, no matter how hard I try, mount up in the HMMWV's. The HMMWV's are a mix of marine, US Army, GMV and Special-Operations vehicles.

Is my problem that the AI don't recognize the seats in some of the vehicles or is there another way to handle mounting units in vehicles with a script?

Or, does the 'GET IN' waypoint rarely work even if there are enough seats? If this is the case, can anyone suggest another method of accomplishing this?

Hank,

small tip: try mode Aware rather than Combat to get them board the vehicle.

more complicated suggestion: I think I've figured out most of what's needed to make a squad:

- board across multiple vehicles,

- man empty vehicles (and move into secondary turrets).

I deploy this as part of missions automatically generated at www.plannedassault.com. See this video as an example:

Generated mission typically contain scripts to mount a squad in multiple (empty) vehicles.

Just sign up, generate a mission with units using civilian vehicles (for example, Tier One operators using pickups) and download the result. The downloaded mission contains the scripts discussed and examples of waypoints to drive these scripts.

Use this thread for questions that are beyond the question you raise here.

Good luck.
