Multiplayer Script to force player into a vehicle

[blanic 0]

Really tired right now and taking the easy way out, can someone at least get me started on a script that would force a player (in multiplayer) into a vehicle using an addaction command.

Thanks

What do you mean by 'forcing' them into it? You mean, the player approaches a vehicle, selects your custom action, and is then in the vehicle? How does that differ from 'get in'? :p

I thought he was referring to making a recalcitrant teammate get into a vehicle so the mission could proceed. Either way I'm not sure how you'd script it.

Lets say youre Player1 (Name: P1) and you want Player2 (Name: P2) to be in cargo, as you enter the vehicle (Name: Car1).

You could setup a trigger like:

Condition: P1 in Car1

On Activation: P2 moveincargo Car1

As soon as you enter the vehicle, P2 will be teleported into the vehicle..

You could even lock the vehicle afterwards...so he doesnt get out again.

What kind of people do you play with if they need to be scripted in place?

My guess would be cops and robbers mission. If not I wonder same question... :)

yes its a cops and robbers one, wanting to move a restrained player into a car is exactly what i am asking.

You could try

disableuserinput command - player cant controll his avatar then, pretty restraining but I guess it would fit.

then try to playmove or switchmove to animate him to approach the vehicle and then see if moveincargo will work. Id be interested to know if it does....

You could also just send a message to the player to instruct him in the car within a certain time frame. If he fails to enter the car you could setdammage him to simulate beating him untill he gets in the car of his own will.

Gosh that sounds mean....just....mean.

this is what im working on

_target = _this select 0; // action associated with player

_vehicle = _this select 3; // vehicle passed as parameter to the script

_target moveincargo _vcl;

player addaction ["Put into Car","noscript.sqf",'(nearestobjects [getpos player, ["Air", "Ship", "LandVehicle"], 3] select 0) execVM "arrest.sqf";',1,true,true,"",'_vcl = (nearestobjects [getpos player, ["Air", "Ship", "LandVehicle"], 3] select 0);player distance _vcl < 5'];

arrest.sqf

_target = _this select 0; // action associated with player

_vehicle = _this select 3; // vehicle passed as parameter to the script

_target moveincargo _vcl;

you may be able to attach them to you with the attachto command then detach and moveincargo when your close to the car for a good effect

that way they can struggle but not get away

but do you think it is close to what i posted? its not working to get them into the vehicle.

[Gekkibi 11]

Is it working in the editor? If I recall correctly the target of moveInCargo has to be local to the one who executes the command.

Nevermind I thought your variable was undefined but I might have mispoke.

Make sure -showscripterrors is on in case there is....

well what i put doesnt work so, im still at square 1.

[zonekiller 175]

_target = _this select 0; // action associated with player

_vehicle = _this select 3; // vehicle passed as parameter to the script

_target moveincargo _vcl;

you have _vehicle and _vcl

should it not read

_target moveincargo _vehicle;
