Hello there:

What´s wrong with this script:
(an AI-unit called "pablo" (and his AI-bodyguard) should spawn as cargo in a flying plane, which should land at Bala-airstrip on Tanoa, where "pablo" should get out and walk to a Jeep (jeep1) and get in it.
I get the message "crew not defined"...script stops.)

Whats wrong here???

Thanks for your help!

if (isServer) then
{
// -------------- Spawn Helicopter and Crews ----------------------------------------------
 
_heli1crew = [[getMarkerPos "pablospawn" select 0, getMarkerPos "pablospawn" select 1], MarkerDir "pablospawn", "C_Heli_Light_01-civil_F", West] call Bis_fnc_spawnvehicle; // BIS_fnc_spawnCrew ???
_heli1 = _heli1crew select 0 ;
_heli1 setPos [getpos _heli1 select 0, getpos _heli1 select 1, 400];
_heli1 allowdamage false;
// (vehicle leader _heli1crew) flyInHeight 200;
//_heli1crew setbehavior "CARELESS";

sleep 2;
pablo assignAsCargo _heli1;
bodyguard assignAsCargo _heli1;
pablo MoveInCargo _heli1;

// -------------- Create waypoints for heli1crew ----------------------------------------------

Not 100% sure, but I believe you have the helicopter you're spawning as named _helicrew1. Try this: 

_helicrew1 = creategroup GUER; //Assuming they're IND faction
_heli1 = [[getMarkerPos "pablospawn", MarkerDir "pablospawn", "C_Heli_Light_01-civil_F", _helicrew1] call Bis_fnc_spawnvehicle;
_helicrew1 allowdamage false;
_heli1 allowdamage false; //Disallow damage to helicopter, not just crew

Also, delete the _wpa1 waypoint. They already spawned there, don't need a waypoint to move there. Then continue with your script. 

 

Fair warning: I'm pretty drunk, and haven't tested or double checked anything I've done or you have done.

while {pablo in _heli1} do {sleep 5};

pablo assignAsCargo jeep1;
bodyguard assignAsCargo jeep1;
[pablo] orderGetIn true;
[bodyguard] orderGetIn true;
};

Firstly, addWaypoint should be used with a group, not a vehicle (heli1). Try using the helicopter's group, third element in the returned array from bis_fnc_spawnVehicle:

 

_heli1crew select 2;

So... here we go:

I hope you can find the problem.
I´ve tried
_plane1 = _aircraftcrew select 1 (0 and 2 too!)  -> nothing works...

 

 

RPT-Error-message:
Error in expression <aircraftcrew select 1 ;_plane1 setPos [getpos _plane1 select 0, getpos _plane1 >

_plane1 = _aircraftcrew select 1 ;

This has to be select 0; because bis_fnc_spawnVehicle returns and array like this: [vehicle,crew,crew's group]

 

Additionally, the first line should be changed to

 

createGroup resistance;

 

don't declare variables when they are not used.

 

Last but not least, I am not sure if the following line will work that way

 

[[getMarkerPos "pablospawn" select 0, getMarkerPos "pablospawn" select 1]

 

BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle needs a position I believe in [X,Y,Z], not in [X,Y], though the wiki lacks the details on this one.

 

 

It's a good habit to write systemChat str _someVar; after every line where you define a new variable. That way you can immediately see what's wrong.
