Disable UAV Driver control

[tryteyker 28]

Hi,

just a quick question that I can't find the answer to; is it possible to disable the driver control of a UAV specifically? I've got a static UAV up in the air and don't want players to take control of the driver (because it's useless, the UAV is locked in place), but rather only the gunner.

Look up the lockDriver command, it may be of use.

Unfortunately it doesn't prevent players from accessing the driver slot via the Terminal.

Maybe use cutText to terminate the display after you've checked which type of UAV it is ( or isn't ). Assuming players go into some sort of "uav mode" screen, display etc.

Don't really know the display numbers for the GUI though, but I'm sure something can be done along those lines.

You could loop this:

to check if someone is connected as Driver.

Then disconnect him with this:

player connectTerminalToUAV objNull;

Yeah, that worked out. Thanks!

End Result:

           [_afrwedd] spawn {
           // == Looping UAV Control, to prevent player getting into driver seat.
           while {alive player && taskState (_this select 0) == "Assigned"} do {
               _drone = ciadrone;
               _ctrl = UAVControl _drone;
               _seat = _ctrl select 1;
                   if (_seat == "driver") then {
                       player connectTerminalToUAV objNull;
                       titleText ["ACCESS DENIED TO DRIVER SEAT - GUNNER ONLY","PLAIN"];
                   };
           };
           };

Bonus shitty formatting because forum doesn't like backspace.
