How to make movement already happening upon mission load

[sproyd 2]

I'm not new to Arma but I'm new to editing so I'm sure there is a simple answer to this;

How do I make it so that units are not stationary upon mission load? Like, I want a rescue boat to be going at full speed (with the player as passenger) as soon as the mission starts - rather than having the AI driver start up the engine and go to a waypoint.

Also (another basic question I'm sure), how do I make the player a passenger in a vehicle upon load?

Thanks team

First question, try something like this in the init.sqf:

boat setVelocity [(sin (getDir boat)) * 5, (cos (getDir boat)) * 5, 0.1];
boat engineon true;

This gives it a little push which should be enough.

For the second question, just put this in the players init line:

player moveincargo boat;

Thanks for your no nonsense answer. I know some of this stuff is basic and we all appreciate the experienced guys helping the influx of editor noobs.
