get vehicle Positions

[bangabob 41]

I am writing a script which will spawn a vehicle and automatically spawn the driver,gunner and commander.

However if the vehicle has no gunner position or commander position the unit will be spawned outside the vehicle.

	_unitType=_pool select (floor(random(count _pool)));
	_s1 = _grp createUnit [_unitType, _pos, [], 0, "FORM"];   	
	_s1 moveindriver _veh; 

	_s2 = _grp createUnit [_unitType, _pos, [], 0, "FORM"]; 
	_unitType=_pool select (floor(random(count _pool)));
	_s2 moveingunner _veh;

	_unitType=_pool select (floor(random(count _pool)));
	_s3 = _grp createUnit [_unitType, _pos, [], 0, "FORM"];  
	_s3 moveincommander _veh; 

So what i need is a condition which will detect whether the commander position/gunner position exists.

Thanks for reading

Cant you just use createVehicleCrew ?

createVehicleCrew will spawn gunners in turret positions as well. (Really complex to work out turret positions by hand).

Nice one 5133p39. Not seen that command before. Certainly seems to do the job and is much simpler than counting the available positions. :)

Yes i didnt know that command. It may well be useful for another script

BIS_fnc_vehicleRoles returns array of roles & indexes, like: [["Driver",[]],["Turret",[0,1]],["Cargo",[0]]]

Just use BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle
