Spawn an empty vehicle with engine on.

I want to spawn an already empty vehicle with the engine running so it is targetable with a javilin or Air to Ground, what do I need to put in the init for this to happen? thanks in advanced!

engineOn will turn on the engine, but I am not sure if this works if it is empty. Worth a try though.

target = "MTVR" createVehicle getMarkerPos "targetSpawn";
player action["EngineOn", target];

Now kylania, will that mean I have to turn it on manually from the outside?

No, that will turn on the engine of target instantly from anywhere. Basically "spawns with engine on" :)

Alright, so what do I need to do for multiple vehicles with engines off, do I add a 1 or 2 somewhere in the code?

Easiest is to just use the Armored Target (lockable) object. Then use a respawn script or just set it's damage to 0 via a trigger or something.

Put down a bunch of the Armored Target (lockables). Put a GameLogic near the middle with this as it's init field:

armorTargets = nearestObjects [this, ["TargetFakeTank_Lockable_EP1"], 900];

Adjust 900 so it covers the full range of targets. Then a Radio Alpha trigger with this as it's onAct to reset the range:

{_x setDamage 0} forEach armorTargets
