macnova1 0 Posted October 20, 2017 Hi Guys I have a random Tank mission on my new server, and i am sorry for asking this but i have read alllllll the things about BIS_fnc_taskpatrrol and Defend but im just not getting it could some one please tell me where i am suppose to but it exactly in my script I have tried waypoints and everything to no success , the mission spawns however tank just sits there _missionVehicles = [ ["O_MBT_02_cannon_F"] ]; _group1 = createGroup EAST; _group1 setCombatMode "RED"; { _posVehicle = [_pos,3,20,1,0,5,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; _vehicle = createVehicle [(_x select 0),_posVehicle,[],50,"NONE"]; _vehicle setPos [(_posVehicle select 0),(_posVehicle select 1), (_posVehicle select 2)]; [_vehicle, _posVehicle,100] call bis_fnc_taskPatrol; _vehicle setVectorUp surfaceNormal position _vehicle; createVehicleCrew _vehicle; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kauppapekka 27 Posted October 20, 2017 The group manning the vehicle does the driving, not the vehicle itself. _posVehicle = [_pos,3,20,1,0,5,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; _vehicle = createVehicle [(_x select 0),_posVehicle,[],50,"NONE"]; _vehicle setPos [(_posVehicle select 0),(_posVehicle select 1), (_posVehicle select 2)]; _vehicle setVectorUp surfaceNormal position _vehicle; createVehicleCrew _vehicle; [group driver _vehicle, _posVehicle,100] call bis_fnc_taskPatrol; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R3vo 2652 Posted October 20, 2017 _vehicle = createVehicle [(_x select 0),_posVehicle,[],50,"NONE"]; You should post the whole code. Because from what you've posted (_x select 0) makes zero sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[_group1,_posVehicle,100] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol; It might also work where the current taskPatrol line is as I haven't looked into empty groups and creating waypoints to them.

kauppapekka 27 Posted October 22, 2017 Because you have script error(s) like: crew _vehicle addMPEventHandler when it should be _x addMPEventHandler There might be more, not starting to go through the whole code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debugging#Debugging_process "- - The programmer will try to remove some parts of original test case and check if the problem still exists. - -" So comment /* line line line */ or //line all the stuff that is not used in spawning the tank and making it move, and work from there.
