[SOLVED] Get all seats and their type from a vehicle

[sarogahtyp 1108]

Hey guys,

i hope for ur help. I wanna spawn AI gunners for a vehicle the player has chosen to drive.

createVehicleCrew is no option cause i wont spawn inside of the vec. I wanna spawn outside and let em get in.

 

For that I wanna know if the vehicle chosen by player has a gunner and/or a commander seat and how much turrets it has.
Also I need to get the correct turretPath to that turrets.

 

Additional it would be nice to spawn some AI which should take their seat at these cargo seats from where they are able to shoot with their own guns.

So I need the cargo index of that seats

Any help is apreciated. Thanks a lot.

You may take a look into the config. They will surely give you the seats.

How can I do that by scipt?

okay for commander and gunner i think this this could be a solution:

 

if (isNil {commander _vec}) then{hint "no commander 
seat";}else{hint "commander seat available";};

Edit: I found allTurrets now but I dont know what FFV-turrets are. Could someone explain it?

 

Edit: FFV means Fire From Vehicle

Check fullCrew function. Looks like exactly what you need.

That looks excellent. Thank u very much. I will try it.

[sarogahtyp 1108]

With ur help I got some working peace of code now. Thank u for that.
But there r some problems with it.

First, would someone tell me how I can do a spoiler in this forum, please?

The main problem is that it works perfect in 2D editors preview but if i test it at my dedicated server then the spawned A.I. is directly moved into the vehicle via moveIn command but then it gets out instantly.
After that it tries to get in again and again but it will get out instantly every time.

Only for copilots of huron and ghosthawk it is working. They dont leave the vehicle.

1. assignAsCargo does not take array as right argument.

2. moveInCargo's right argument's second element in array must be Number, i.e. cargoIndex, not Array (in your case turretPath)

3. Even if you use _c_t3 instead of _c_t4 you might not sit all soldiers from squad on the same place (using same cargo index for all). Collect all free cargo indexes and move one soldier per one cargo index.

Thank u.  U found the mistakes in the  uncommented code but i think i dont need the cargo seats cause they r also turrets and r coverd by the "handle turrets" part of the script.

 

_temp_squad consist of 1 unit only so point 3. isnt a mistake.

 

but my main problem is that the AI gets out of the vecs instantly after embarking it.

Consider using AddVehicle to prevent them from leaving it, maybe?

It usually works for me.

thank u. sounds good. i will give it a try.

[sarogahtyp 1108]

Okay guys, with ur hints it is now a good working script and it works with a dedicated server too.

If anyone wish to use it just do it.

 

The only thing what I dont like with it is that the driver the spawned AI and the vehicle must be in the same group.

I created a new group and moved all into that.

I wish I could let the driver/player in his own group. but i think there is no solution for that problem.

 

But as I said, script is working now and I m happy with it.

 

Thanks a lot.
