Trying to spawn a chopper and pilot. getInDriver not working?

[fleamo 1]

UPDATE: This works!

hint "Active";
pilotGroup = createGroup west;
helo1 = createVehicle ["O_Ka60_F",getMarkerPos "heloSpawn", [], 0, "FLY"];
helo1 engineOn true;
helo1 flyInHeight 20;
"B_Helipilot_F" createUnit [getMarkerPos "heloSpawn", pilotGroup,"pilot1 = this"];
pilot1 assignAsDriver helo1;
pilot1 moveInDriver helo1;

Original post below:

I've got two triggers set up.

One spawns a helo pilot (pilot1) and a chopper (helo1)

The second does this on activation:

hint "Move the pilot into the chopper";
pilot1 assignAsDriver helo1;
pilot1 moveInDriver helo1;

But it doesn't seem to work. I've tried a bunch of things, including using Action get in as driver. I can't even get him into the helo as cargo.

This should be simple. What am I doing wrong?

Just occurred to me that I could be spawning the pilot incorrectly. I mean, he spawns, but...

pilot1 = "B_Helipilot_F" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "pilotSpawn"); 
helo1 = "O_Ka60_F" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "heloSpawn"); 

Does it matter if I spawn him as a vehicle? I tried createUnit, but couldn't get it to work.

I'm doing the exact same thing, and I can't get it to work. I think you use createUnit.

Mine:

_heli = "O_Ka60_F" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "heli");
_heli engineOn true;
"B_Helipilot_F" createUnit [getMarkerPos "heli", _groupPilots,"pilot1 = this ;
pilot1 moveInDriver heli;

Yep.. Had that problem as well.. Quit ArmA3, restart and it all works.

But just thinking.. could it be related to running ArmA3 Betas?

nah this u need to assign the number which is the seat like this

this assignasturret [heli, [0]];

same for

this moveinturret [heli, [0]];

try that works i just tried it think i deleted it as im doing alot of scripting and such lo.

I've compiled everything into one trigger now. This works:

hint "Active";
pilotGroup = createGroup west;
helo1 = createVehicle ["O_Ka60_F",getMarkerPos "heloSpawn", [], 0, "FLY"];
helo1 engineOn true;
helo1 flyInHeight 20;
"B_Helipilot_F" createUnit [getMarkerPos "heloSpawn", pilotGroup,"pilot1 = this"];
pilot1 assignAsDriver helo1;
pilot1 moveInDriver helo1;

Units need to be added to an existing group, which is annoying. So, I also had to initialize a group.

It doesn't seem to work.

put those both into the int feild of the unit and the unit will get inside helicopter see where i put heli you need to change that to the name of what your vehicle is called.

Why not just try this?

_grp_heli = creategroup East;
_heliSpawn = [getMarkerPos "heloSpawn", 180, "O_Ka60_F", _grp_heli] call bis_fnc_spawnvehicle;
_heli = _heliSpawn select 0; //this is the vehicle itself
_heli flyinheight 20;
