super annoying...

How the heck can you create a unit in a script and move it into a vehicle that is defined by a local variable?

this doesn't work:

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

_chopper = chopper

_pos = getpos _chopper

_gear = "sakumh60laddon" createunit [_pos, group player, "this moveincargo [_chopper, 12]"]

createvehicle only works if the object being created is a game logic. Any thing else I've tried has failed. If I try this:

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

_chopper = chopper

_pos = getpos _chopper

_gear = "sakumh60laddon" createunit [_pos, group player, "this moveincargo [chopper, 12]"]

it works, but I need to be able to have each chopper execute the script, I can't have each unit using a specific name. This seems like a huge bug to me. Any help? This is the last hurdle I need to overcome before my MH-60L is done.

I think that the init field of a unit is global space and does not take local variable (_chopper).

It should work with this (untested) :

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

_pos = getpos _chopper

_gear = "sakumh60laddon" createunit [_pos, group player, ""]

_gear moveincargo [_chopper, 12]

Tell me ! Hope this helps.

a) Why not pass the vehicle as an arg to the script?

b) Did you declare chopper, i.e. in the init.sqf|-s if you're within a mission-context?

Edit: Meant declared, not initialized.

Thanks guys, I got something to work.The problem seems to be that when you createunit a unit:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_gear = "sakumh60laddon" createunit [_pos, group player, ""];

when you call _gear again later on, it doesn't really call the unit, its some wierd shit where you can only do certain things with it. I don't know. This is what I had to do to get it to work:

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

_pos = getpos _chopper;

_mh60group = createGroup west;

_gear = "sakumh60laddon" createunit [_pos, _mh60group, ""];

((units _mh60group) select 0) moveincargo [_chopper, 12];

exit;
