Gunner and commander cannot enter vehicle without driver script?

[Diabolical1001 10]

as the title has stated

is there a way ( in a multiplayer setting) to restrict the gunner/commander seats in vehicles unless there is a driver present?

been looking around and cant seem to find anything on it

thanks

It seems like a great idea at first. I was thinking of writing a script to do this. However, it could go wrong. What happens if the vehicle is out in the field and something happens to the driver? A disconnect, or a death (somehow). That would automatically render the vehicle useless. Anyhow... here's one way, though it only checks initially when the crew would get in.

Something like this maybe (untested):

this addEventHandler ["GetIn", {call TAG_fnc_crewCheck}];

init.sqf

TAG_fnc_crewCheck = {
   _veh = _this select 0;
   _unit = _this select 2;
  if (count driver _veh > 0) then {
      hint "ready to roll";
  } else {
     _unit action ["Eject", _veh];
    hint "there's no driver";
  };
};

Error in expression <s select 0;
_unit = _this select 2;

cheers

working good besides the fact that if your in the the drivers seat and scroll to the gunners seat it doesn't kick you out, not sure on a fix for that

[iceman77 18]

You'd have to monitor the seats in a loop and kick any occupants out if a driver isn't present. Unless someone knows a better way.

this has got me stuck, if i could fin a way in were if your in the drivers seat it would disable the option to move to commander and gunner it would be fine

Use assignAsDriver, then use lock on the vehicle with parameter as 3. That'll prevent the player from entering anything but the driver seat.
