[SOLVED]Help with "is driver"

[zagor64bz 1225]

Ok..I'm trying to make a little snippet to order the pilot to increase altitude while I'm in the gunner seat.

So far I have an add action tied to a trigger with the player in the gunner seat as the condition. 

Here is what I have so far (extracted from an old mission):

private ["_curAlt","_reqAlt"];
_curAlt = (Round(((getPosATL CoPilot01 select 2))/10)*10);
IF ((Gunner Viper01) == player) THEN {
	IF (isNil "VendAlt") THEN {VendAlt = _curAlt;};
	sleep 0.01;
	_reqAlt = VendAlt + 50;
	sleep 0.01;
	_endAlt = _reqAlt;
	[format["<t size='.6'>Make Alt %1</t>",(_endAlt)],-1.09,-.19,10,0] spawn BIS_fnc_dynamicText;

		if ((speed (vehicle player)) <= 25) then
		{
		(vehicle CoPilot01) flyInHeight _endAlt;;
		CoPilot01 doMove (position player);
		} else {
		(vehicle CoPilot01) flyInHeight _endAlt;;
		};

	sleep 0.01;
	VendAlt = _endAlt;
} ELSE {
[format["<t size='.6'>'Hold Position'<br />to break orbit first..</t>"],-1.01,-.19,10,0] spawn BIS_fnc_dynamicText;
};

As it is, it is working as intended. What I really want is to get rid of the "CoPilot01" variable name and get "Driver" instead. The reason is the co-pilot is spawned with a recruiting script. I tried with :

-(driver (vehicle player))

-(driver Viper01) 

but no luck...any suggestion?

First of all, you can easily replace getPosATL CoPilot01 select 2 by the altitude of the vehicle itself: getPosATL viper01 select 2

same for (vehicle CoPilot01) flyInHeight _endAlt,

 

Then, are you sure you are in the gunner seat as copilot? Depending on helo, the gunners are sometimes at doors, and the copilot is (always) at turret [0]

see Viper01 turretUnit [0] instead of gunner Viper01

For driver, less problem. Just in case the turret is [-1]

I was in the gunner seat of a AH64D.

I did replace the 

getPosATL CoPilot01 select 2 WITH getPosATL viper01 select 2

...and it worked....

...so if I understand it should do like this?

if ((speed (vehicle player)) <= 25) then
		{
		Viper01 flyInHeight _endAlt;;
		Viper01 doMove (position player);
		} else {
		Viper01 flyInHeight _endAlt;;
		};

Thank you mate!

yes. I guess viper01 is also the vehicle player. So no problem for writing what you want as far as you're in vehicle...

But I don't really understand the viper01 doMove position player in this case... Perhaps needed to fly at a new altitude. That doesn't hurt.

..again thank you, man.
