AI group getin Multiable un-named vehicles

[zonekiller 175]

i wrote this on the weekend and it works realy well

If you have empty vehicles in a town and when the AI move into town they will jump into whatever is there and if it fills up the rest of the group will find a new vehicle ect ;; IE 1 group of 20 will fill 2 tanks, 1 vulcan, 3 jeeps ect

 

THE TRIGGER

[thislist] exec "getin.sqs         trigger array --- set a delay so the group have time to get in the trigger

or

[alpha] exec "getin.sqs           group

or

[man1] exec "getin.sqs           leader unit

;makes an array of all empty vehicles on the island of these types , Add more types if needed

;check how many cargo positions are available

~0.1

;when vehicle is full it will look for next vehicle

?(alive (_aunits select _t)) && (_freecargo <= _cargo) : goto "loop"

_t = _t + 1

_cargo = _cargo + 1

;selects next unit to get in the vehicle

~0.1

?(_t < _s) : goto "getin"

_aunits orderGetIn true

exit

i have found no problems with it as long as there is some empty vehicles on the map and they are within 6000 mtrs of the unit

You got it!

Only one doubt as a way to test your script:

With:

_freegunner = _truck emptyPositions "gunner"

it will check for free 2nd gunner seats too?

And the last evil doubt...

If AI is inside a vehicle, and got killed... emptypositions will not remove that 'seat' in its counter till the 'corpse' is outside.

Test it. Maybe i'm wrong...

Simply, you got it.

how do i get this to work with respawning units?

[zonekiller 175]

With revive respawn i find if the vehicle is still alive the ai will remount

you could try setting a trigger with activation alive myman1

for each unit as if some of the units are in a vehicle the script will skip them and get units not in vehicles to get in one

[zonekiller 175]

the command _truck emptyPositions "gunner" only reports 1 gun position even in choppers so it appears

just dump some vehicles in front of a squad set a trigger to [alpha] exec "getin.sqs" and and on the leader put in alpha = group this

see what happens

When me at home, i will give you a simple lines to check if 2nd Gunner is present (if alive or dead) in a UH60MG.

I think that UH60MG has to be named. Not sure. Can't remember.

Reargunner in RHIB2Turret can be checked too in the same way but with a little difference.

Can't remember who wrote a piece of script in this forum to check 2nd turrets. Search tool.

If when you reading those solutions, still you want another way to check it... just say me it, and when me at home again (today) i will post it. Maybe a little long lines, but is 99% perfect. 1% is fault by Mikrosoft lol , just a joke.

Thanks

I would like to know how to check for the second gunner

Probably it exists more posts or even Wiki places to read about this turrets-questions.

Ah, if the way that i'm linking the posts is not a legal/good one, please, give me a little light to do it legal/better.
