create vehicle with name

[lockjaw-65- 0]

Thanks guys for the info, not sure what to do here. I really wanted to put some kind of static defences in my mission but if they are that dumb or I cant find a scritp to improve them, then I think I will have to remove them :-(

What I usually do is place an empty gun and then have a group of 2 or three units with a getin waypoint over the gun.

The two remaining act as spotter and if the MGunner gets killed one of the other units takes his place.

thanks, that will work for units placed on the map. The problem I have is that they are all spawned mid mission with the scripts that we have been talking about in this thread. The static guns are spawned then the crew. I suppose what im asking is wether the script that spawns the crew could be modified to make them more aware?

You could experiment with the setSkill array command and adjust aimingspeed or spot distance etc..

Maybe aceptable results can be obtained that way.

Thanks I will try with that today and post result.

Ok its official I dont know what im doing LOL. I cant work out how to include this into the script you provided without messing it up....

[f2k sel 164]

Post what you have.

ok Im trying to set skill level of spawned crew, this is what i think it should be:

_spawn_zone = _this select 0;
_veh_type = _this select 1;
_name = _this select 2;
_dir = _this select 3;// new

_group = createGroup east;
_veh = createVehicle [_veh_type, _spawn_zone, [], 0, "NONE"];
_driver = _veh emptyPositions "driver";
_gunner = _veh emptyPositions "gunner";
_commander = _veh emptyPositions "commander";
_cargo = (_veh emptyPositions "cargo") - 1;
if (_driver > 0) then {"MVD_Soldier" createUnit [_spawn_zone, _group, "this moveinDriver _veh;this assignAsDriver _veh;this setskill ["general",1]"];};
if (_gunner > 0) then {"MVD_Soldier" createUnit [_spawn_zone, _group, "this moveinGunner _veh;this assignAsGunner _veh;this setskill ["spotDistance",1]"];};
if (_commander > 0) then {"MVD_Soldier" createUnit [_spawn_zone, _group, "this moveinCommander _veh;this assignAsCommander _veh;"];};
for "_i" from 0 to _cargo do
{
"MVD_Soldier" createUnit [_spawn_zone, _group, "this moveinCargo _veh;this assignAsCargo _veh;this setskill ["spotDistance",1]"];
};
_veh setdir _dir;// new
_veh SetVehicleVarName _name;
call compile format["%1 = _veh", _name];

but no crew is spawned at all..

posted wrong code snippet

[giallustio 770]

Error in the code:

if (_driver > 0) then {"MVD_Soldier" createUnit [_spawn_zone, _group, "this moveinDriver _veh;this assignAsDriver _veh;this setskill [""general"",1];"];};

Modify all the same lines ;)

Just installed the new patch 1.60. Now all the Ai etc that are spawned do nothing again even the tungstas dont fire at aircraft? Also noticed that Ai driving on roads is really bad now and even the DACs seems dumb at spotting enemy and engageing...

Just reinstalled entire game and it seems ok now, will do a bit more testing tonight..
