Copilot Position in Little Bird MH-9

[neven 14]

This question was sort of asked in Arma 2 as it belonged to a different Helicopter. I have also checked the wiki and used each of the suggested syntax.

Pilot Success:

pilot moveInDriver LB2;

Squad Success:

this moveincargo LB2;

Copilot Fail for each of these:

 
this moveInCommander LB2;
this moveInGunner LB2;
this moveInTurret LB2;

None of the terms listed above puts me in the copilots seat. I have 4 other units in the cargo areas, and I have also assigned a pilot, but I can't put myself in the copilots seat.

Please can someone help me 'get to the choppa'! :bounce3: What is the syntax for the copilot seat?

Thanks for any help

I had to look around for this to, however

_unit moveinturret [heloname, [0]];

WOW! Crazy cool. Thanks Camaris!

I tried the code suggested by Camaris ( _unit moveinturret [heloname, [0]]; ) but I can't seem to get it to work.

I placed an empty MH-9 Hummingbird, named it BIRD then placed myself and another unit. I can set myself as the pilot with ( this moveInDriver BIRD; ) in the unit Initialization box. However, if I try ( this moveInTurrent [bIRD, [0]]; ) as suggested on the second unit's Initialization box, the command will not take. I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! :)

You have a spelling error there:

this moveInTurrent [bIRD, [0]];

remove the n

this moveInTurret [bIRD, [0]];

this moveInTurrent [bIRD, [0]];

this moveInTurret [bIRD, [0]];

Thanks! Dumb mistake. I appreciate the help.

	private _getEmptyPositions = {
		private _positions = 0;
		private _veh = _this select 0;
		
		// hack: other functions like emptyPosition doesnt work with all veh like Pawnee
		_positions = (count fullCrew [_veh, "", true]) - (count fullCrew [_veh, "", false]);
		_positions
	};

SHARE: This is best way to check if vehicle has ANY empty positions, other methods aren't reliable for some vehicles like Pawnee CoPilot seat.
