Creating a new vehicle

[TheDarkFox 0]

I'm working on a beach assault mission where once you kill off the assaulting infantry, boats start showing up.

I've used createVehicle to make the new boats, but they're toally unoccupied (no commander, driver or gunner). So despite setting some waypoints, they just sit there!

Any hints? Thanks!

Just assigning the crew won't do, you'll have to use the moveInX command, for example "player moveInGunner boat1". It instantly "teleports" men to position, so you don't have to mess with their positions at all.
