Vehicle + Waypoint spawned via Trigger error

[Krieg949M40 0]

Hi there, beginner here

 

I'm trying to make a mission with a supply truck route that repeatedly spawns new trucks when one gets to the end. So it'll start the route, and when at a certain point, it'll spawn another one at the start via a trigger that then gets the same waypoints.

_grp1 = [getMarkerPos "truckSpawn", 0, "BNB_FA_NAF_Scania_Utility_Woodland", west] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
 

_wp1 = _grp1 addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "truckMove1", 1];  
_wp1 setWaypointType "MOVE";

 

 

This is the code I'm using. The vehicle spawns, with crew, as normal, but I get this error;

_wp1 = _grp1 |#|addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "truckMove1", 1];  
Error Generic error in expression

 

That means the syntax is wrong, right? But, according to wiki article about 'addWaypoint', it looks fine. Am I just blind?

Hi and welcome, Krieg,

 

Your addWaypoint syntax is correct but you need to review the BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle syntax:

Return Value:
Array format [createdVehicle, crew, group]:

createdVehicle: Object - the created vehicle
crew: Array of Objects - the vehicle's crew members
group: Group - created or passed group

So:

_result = [getMarkerPos "truckSpawn", 0, "BNB_FA_NAF_Scania_Utility_Woodland", west] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
 
_grp1 = _result select 2;

_wp1 = _grp1 addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "truckMove1", 1];  
_wp1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; 

Cheers.

Huh. It did spawn correctly, so I didn't think about the spawnVehicle code. Seems to work now. Thanks a lot!
