Dynamic Civillian transportation scripting

[goose4291 11]

One of the missions I am currently making has an objective whereby 3x villages of Civilians need to be evacuated by BLUFOR.

As it stands I have triggers linked to a specific truck that once it gets into the village, the civilians mount the truck in empty cargo slots.

However I want to make it so that it doesn't have to be THAT specific truck that they will try to get in. (For example, if the player drives a Humvee into the town instead, I want the civvies to mount that instead.)

Any suggestions of a good scritping/trigger combination to allow that to happen?

Set up a trigger. Activated by BLUFOR. Once. Put all the civvies inside the trigger area and name the group civGroup1. Call the following script from the activation field.

_vehicle = nearestObject [player, "Landvehicle"]; //assign the vehicle to be the one nearest to the player
{_x moveInCargo _vehicle;} forEach units civGroup1; //moves all of the units of civGroup1 into the vehicle

In the above script the moveInCargo will teleport the civvies into the truck - which works but doesn't look awefully pretty. If you want it to look better check out other commands such as getInCargo, orderGetIn or assignAsCargo.
