how do I find nearest vehicle then assign as cargo for that vehicle

[felipechapmanfromm 6]

I have tried using GETIN NEAREST in a waypoint, but I had problems with it.

This is my code atm

nObj = nearestObject[casPos, ['sarheli0','sarheli1','sarheli2']];
casSpawn assignAsCargo nObj;
[casSpawn] orderGetIn true;

I know this code is wrong, also in the type for nearestobject can I put global variables into it

[Floof 57]

nObj = nearestObjects[casPos, ["sarheli0","sarheli1","sarheli"]];

casSpawn assignAsCargo nObj select 0;

[casSpawn] orderGetIn true;

In the future remember that nearestObject returns a single type, doesn't support arrays. nearestObjects returns an array so use that, should work. wiki.

Also for future reference its recommended to add a radius to nObj's nearestObjects, so that the engine doesn't have to scan a 15km and lag everyone for no reason if the vehicles are far away.

Thanks I will try that

So I have modified my code but now how have an undiffined variable in expression _veh, when it is defined

_nObj = nearestObjects[casPos, ["sarheli0","sarheli1","sarheli2"],100];
_veh = _nObj select 0;
casSpawn assignAsCargo _veh;
[casSpawn] orderGetIn true;
hint _veh;

heres my code.

 

Thanks

I guess sarheli0,sarheli1,sarheli2 and casSpawn are defined objects (and not classes of helos). You can't use them as is in nearestObjects.

So:

_nObj = [sarheli0,sarheli1,sarheli2] apply {[casSpawn distance2D _x,_x]};

_nObj sort true;

_veh = _nObj select 0 select 1;

casSpawn assignAsCargo _veh;

[casSpawn] orderGetIn true;

nearestObjects takes class names or config parents.

There are no vehicles with a  "sarheli0"/"sarheli1"/"sarheli2" classname, nearestObjects won't find anything.

_nObj will therefore be an empty array, and _veh will be undefined.

 

Use something like:

_nObj = nearestObjects [casPos,["Helicopter"],100];

 

If you want to find the nearest vehicle from sarheli0/sarheli1/sarheli2 do:

 

_helis = [sarheli0,sarheli1,sarheli2];
_helisSorted = [_helis,[],{casPos distance _x}] call BIS_fnc_sortBy;
_veh = _helisSorted select 0;

Thanks for the responses guys, I will test them now!

Hi there again,

Your code works but when I do

casSpawn assignAsCargo _veh;
[casSpawn] orderGetIn true;

The AI move in front of the Heli and does not get in,

so I used moveInCargo, That works but there is not animation, How do I use assignAsCargo properly / get it to work.

 

Cheers.

Not sure if you are trying to get passengers into a heli or a pilot/gunner. Use moveInDriver/moveInGunner/moveInCommander for pilot/gunner/command, seems like ur plane doesn't have passenger seats. (If it does, then post some more details like planes name etc)

[felipechapmanfromm 6]

Hi, the heli is a helenic eurocopter, it has passenger seats, I am trying to get the AI to get in passenger seat, as I said before it works with moveInCargo, but there is no animation.

 

Cheers!

Use assignAsCargoIndex instead.

You can check all places in your helo, filling it with named units, then, in console watch: yourHelo getCargoIndex unit1, ... If you want to see the place, preview and switch unit.

 

This works on Huron. For example:

{_x assignAsCargoIndex [myHelo, _forEachIndex *2]; [_x] orderGetIn true} forEach units myGrp

will assign even seats (_forEachIndex * 2) inside the huron. Make sure the index exists.

Thanks, I will try that when I get in.
