Why do some units disembark a vehicle at startup?

[petek 62]

Hi - I've tried searching and the wiki and can't see what I'm doing wrong. Using the eden editor I am placing a mechanized anti-armor squad and dragging each of the individaul units into it's vehicle (so Kymash for CSAT or Panther for NATO) When I start the mission one or 2 units will immediately dismount (even though there are 8 cargo seats and 8 units) I've tried changing ranks etc... Has anyone else encountered this and any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I'm also interested in a solution

Try to give the vehicle a name and in the init field of the unit use:

this assignAsCargo <vehicleName>

Thanks ! Just after posting I was looking at all these assign-like command.

I'm going to try them today, it looks like it is what I was looking for ;)

Hi the assignascargo works. But from Eden instructions we should be able to just drag the unit into the vehicle. It works but a few of the units disembark straight away. Thanks

I've found that this happens sometimes when the AI are not all grouped to the leader.   So they will jump out and then immediately jump back in.  Meaning that the driver is Alpha 1-1 and the passengers are Alpha 1-2.

 

Hope this helps!
