How to get AI unit to approach a vehicle's driver door?

[Luft08 27]

I am writing a scenario where if the players leave their vehicle named hunter_1 unattended I want an AI unit to walk up to the driver door, get in and drive off. The script I wrote seems to only work sometimes. It is hit or miss.

Any suggestions? I was thinking that maybe the waypoint is being blocked by the vehicle so the "setWaypointStatements" never gets executed... Can I set an exact waypoint just outside of the driver door of the vehicle?

 

My code:

In stealHunter.sqf:

if (isServer) then {
	_wp = group autoThief_1 addWaypoint [position hunter_1, 3];
	_wp setWaypointStatements["true", "[] execVM 'getInHunter.sqf';"];
};

Then in getInHunter.sqf:

if (isServer) then {
	autoThief_1 assignasdriver hunter_1;
// I have tried the two lines below
//	[autoThief_1] orderGetIn true;
//	[autoThief_1] allowGetIn true;

// I have also tried the line below
//	autoThief_1 action ["getInDriver", hunter_1];

	sleep 3;
	if (vehicle autoThief_1 != autoThief_1) then {
		_wpPos = getMarkerPos "wp_stealHunter_1";
		_wp = group autoThief_1 addWaypoint [_wpPos, 0];
		_wp setWaypointStatements["true", "[] execVM 'goToChopShop.sqf';"];
		sleep 20;
		_handle = execVM "allowHelp_1.sqf";
	};
	
};

A quick solution could be to attach an invisible helipad to the vehicle and set the waypoint on it

Here is a script I wrote for another topic that does this exact thing:

Just adjust the variables and you should be good to go.

Thanks 7erra!

I'll need to do further testing but with a little modification your script seems to be working. Of course mine did too until it failed but you have given me hope! 

if(isServer) then {
	_unit = _this select 0;
	_car = _this select 1;

	_unit assignAsDriver _car;
	[_unit] orderGetIn true;
	_inAnim = toLower getText(configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _car >> "getInAction");
	waitUntil {
  		_inAnim in toLower animationState _unit
	};
	_car lockDriver false;
	[_unit] orderGetIn true;
	_unit switchMove "";
};
