Vehicle position VarName

[LoOni3r 6]

hi,

 

Is there a way to determine the position of a vehicle by vehiclevarname?

 

I work on a survival server and want to save the positions even if the vehicle is moved without a driver.

 

Many Thanks.

you can use getpos on empty vehicles 

myVehicle = vehicle player;

hint (str (getpos myVehicle));

You need to cycle through all vehicles and compare your varname to each vehicle varname and get vehicle reference when they match

Sure:

_position = getPos myvehiclevarname;

or

_position = getPos (missionNamespace getVariable "myvehiclevarname");

vehicles command returns all vehicles.

I solved it this way:

{
	if (vehicleVarName _x != "") then {
		str typeOf _X remoteExec ["systemChat"];
		str vehicleVarName _x remoteExec ["systemChat"];
		str getPosATL _x remoteExec ["systemChat"];
		str getDir _x remoteExec ["systemChat"];
		str getAllHitPointsDamage _x remoteExec ["systemChat"];
	};

}
forEach vehicles; 

 

had hoped you can directly address the vehicle by vehiclevarname without scanning for all vehicle.

Many Thanks for your answers.

If a vehicle is assigned to global variable with the same name as vehicleVarName, you can try get the reference with _veh = missionNamespace getVariable ["myvehvarname", objNull];
