spawning fuel_dump_ru1 cannot error

[hogmason 2]

ok so im creating a arma composition "fuel_dump_ru1" found here

http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class151656165165341654165165165165f/A2/Objects/compositions/#document

this is my script

 fuel_active = 1; publicvariable "fuel_active";
   [color="#FF0000"]_fuelbunker = "fuel_dump_ru1" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "fuelbase")[/color];
   _fuelbunker setDir random 290;
		_fuelbunker addeventhandler ["killed", { fuel_active = 0;publicvariable "fuel_active"; [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,"Enemy fuel has been destroyed"] call RE;}];
           _fuelbunker setVehicleInit "_fuelbunker addEventHandler [""HandleDamage"",{(_this select 4) == ""PipeBomb""}]" ;format ["%1 = this; this setVehicleVarName ""%1""",_fuelbunker];
           processInitCommands;	

however i am getting this error in my rpt

Cannot create non-ai vehicle fuel_dump_ru1,

cheers mate ;)

Bit off-topic, but since I see that you write a lot of scripts and ask many questions I would recommend you to read this article: Code Optimisation, I'm sure you will find lots of interesting info there, especially since I see that you use old createVehicle command instead of createVehicle array. Quote from article:

It is highly recommended to use a standard of createVehicle array rather than the older (deprecated version) createVehicle. It is up to 500x faster than its older brother.

thanks Samatra ill read that one ;)

any way ive just spent the past 3 hours stuck on this issue.

My code just isnt working and i have no idea why

this is the piece of code im using to spawn the composition base

_fuelMARKERposition = ["E_Patrol", false, ["safezone"]] call SHK_pos;
_createfuelmarker = createmarker ["fuelbase", _fuelMARKERposition];
_createfuelmarker setMarkerType "Dot";
_createfuelmarker setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
_createfuelmarker setMarkerAlpha 0;
_createfuelmarker setMarkerDir 90;

_position = getmarkerpos "fuelbase";
_directionfuel = getDir _createfuelmarker;
//spawn bunker to spawn fuel guns around
   _fuelbunker = [_position, _directionfuel, "fuel_dump_ru1"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

now this is the full code

if (isServer) then {

if (isnil "fuel_active") then {fuel_active = 0;};

waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"};

_r = random 360;
_d = 30; //distance for defence line
_distance = 40; //distance for barb wire line

//create the east group	
_fuelmen = createGroup east;


_fuelMARKERposition = ["E_Patrol", false, ["safezone"]] call SHK_pos;
_createfuelmarker = createmarker ["fuelbase", _fuelMARKERposition];
_createfuelmarker setMarkerType "Dot";
_createfuelmarker setMarkerColor "ColorRed";
_createfuelmarker setMarkerAlpha 0;
_createfuelmarker setMarkerDir 90;

_position = getmarkerpos "fuelbase";
_directionfuel = getDir _createfuelmarker;
//spawn bunker to spawn fuel guns around
 fuel_active = 1; publicvariable "fuel_active";

this is the error

Error in expression <GUE_WarfareBMGNest_PK" createVehicle [((getpos _campbunker) select 0) + sin 300 >

File C:\Users\natho\Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\=Mason=\missions\Operation_HOG_V_3.Chernarus\missions\spawners\Targets\camp_base.sqf, line 35

now that piece of code its telling me has an error DOESNT it works fine if i am spawning anything but a composition base.

also if i un // the addeventhandler and vehicle init part i get this error

Error in expression <cripts\objectMapper.sqf"));
_campbunker addeventhandler ["killed", { camp_active>
 Error position: <addeventhandler ["killed", { camp_active>

File C:\Users\natho\Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\=Mason=\missions\Operation_HOG_V_3.Chernarus\missions\spawners\Targets\camp_base.sqf, line 25

p.s i know its a different variable name its from another script everything the same but different composition base.

Does any 1 know what is wrong

Have you tried to dump what your _fuelbunker contains? Try

diag_log _fuelbunker;

and look into your RPT. When you place composition, it returns array with all composition objects. You can't attach EHs to arrays just like error states.
