CreateVehicle - Can't get in.

[53rd_Stevie 0]

Hi Guys, i'm using the following to create a vehicle thru scripting. However i can't get in (no actions for it). Can somebody explain what i'm missing?

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_Loc = markerPos "hmmv";

_HMMWV1 = "HMMWV" createVehicle(_loc)

; Below doesn't seem to do anything at all..

_HMMWV1 setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED";

Tnx,

Stevie

Just use this, its simpler.

VehicleName = "HMMWV" createVehicle getmarkerpos "hmmv"

make sure you are leader of the group.

hey guys,

thanks for the replies, however it still doesn't solve my problem.

If i use

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">VehicleName = "HMMWV" createVehicle getmarkerpos "hmmv"

it still won't allow the player to hop in.

It's for a multiplayer map which doesn't involve leaders.

Anymore ideas? Placing an empty vehicle using the editor works, but i want them to spawn after a certain trigger criteria has been met.

regards,

stevie

You have some other issue going on. I use

VehicleName = "HMMWV" createVehicle getmarkerpos "hmmv"

this string all the time and I have had no issues at all. I get in anything I have created.

53rd_Stevie, you wouldn't by any chance happen to be using setFriend on the civilian side in your mission would you? Or, maybe you made the players renegade with a negative rating (actually that shouldn't have any effect on the way the players percieve sides)? That could possibly make the vehicle an enemy to the player thus not allowing them to enter it.

Well, i am really

I have this for my enemy NPC spawning:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

...

_Center = createCenter east;

_Center setFriend[west,0];

...

_Group = createGroup _Center;

_Loc = markerPos _sSpawnMarkerName;

_Unit = _Group createUnit [_sNPCName, _Loc, [], -1, "NONE"];

...

i'm new to scripting for ARMA so i could be using the wrong methods.

I use it because if i don't use the setFriend EAST won't attack me. Or is this wrong.. seemed to work !

Well what you have to realize is that (any) empty vehicles belong to the civilian side, and since the game won't let you enter vehicles that are percieved as enemy, if the civilian side is an enemy to your player then they won't be able to enter any empty vehicles. Is that what you're doing, making civilians enemies to your player's side?

Can you get in after a while?

The "AI in your head" does not realise the vehicle is there instantaneously, and you can't board a vehicle you don't know about. You may need to reveal it.

I have done nothing with civilians. Removing the setFriend doesn't seem to fix it.

I'm not putting any units on the map editor besides friendlies. Maybe this is the issue?

Any empty vehicle placed in the editor allows my player to hop in.

strange..

Try using this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_Loc = markerPos "hmmv";

_HMMWV1 = "HMMWV" createVehicle(_loc)

; Below doesn't seem to do anything at all..

_HMMWV1 setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED";

Player Reveal _HMMWV1;

As fasad said. A newly built vehicle takes time to register as firendly. The reveal command speeds up the process

try

_vehicle lock false;

[Mr-Murray 0]

You have to unlock it!!!

_HMMWV1 lock false

is the right way!!!

Vehicles created with script commands are not locked. Empty vehicles created in the editor are not locked. shouting won't make it true.

It's always wise to test these things yourself, before posting.

Thats not exacly right. I createt a vehicle and it was closed.

After I ulocked it, it was useable

Eventually it has been fixed in the current versions after 1.0.
