Squad Members Won't Enter Vehicles?

[Dallar_Mhendi 10]

So I'm not really sure if this is a bug, or maybe I'm just not doing something right or what, but I'm having issues.

I've started playing Harvest Red and I'm having trouble getting my squad to enter vehicles. So I'll go about it the normal way, SPACE, target the vehicle and click. Well, two of my members seem to have no problem getting in, but one (and it's always #2, the marksman) will NOT enter a vehicle. I can switch to him manually and try but still nothing. I've attempted this on Hum-Vs, cars, Sundat trucks, deuce-and-a-half style trucks, even a bus, but he won't get in even when the vehicles are empty.

I haven't had any trouble getting any of my team on motorbikes or the chopper though. So am I doing something wrong or is it just a bug?

Although I don't know for sure, it seems to be a bug. I experienced it quite often in Arma, and now am seeing it in Arma 2. For no reason at times, squad members refuse to enter vehicles. Something I have done is tell them all to move somewhere, or enter another vehicle, then stopped them, and then tried again to load them with some success.

Yeah, its a bug from ArmA days. Move the vehicle a few feet then order him to get in again. Should do the trick.

I have the exact same problem (along with the horrible mouse lag that people keep denying exists & my team members having completely white heads!).

I found that if I let the guys board BEFORE me it wouldn't be a problem. The only issue is that iif you want to man a gun on a Heli etc they usually fill that spot - then refuse to use the gun. I haven't worked out how to get them to swap seats in a Heli yet! :)

Same character has the issue - always the stupid marksman!

I've had problems with something like a UAZ-AGS on badlands. The AI will get in all seats except one, like the AI think it's already taken but it's not.

I just find it strange that even by switching to the marksman, I can't make him enter a vehicle. Also, I was wondering, do all vehicles have a limit on how many riders they can hold? Because when driving the bus or the deuce-and-a-half I can't seem to load more than three inside. If it's empty, I can climb in the bed of the truck but if there are people in the cab it's no dice. Likewise with the bus. I mean it's a bus! 'Common!

Thanks for the responses though everybody. Much appreciated.

Sometimes the roles the squad members play in the vehicle (driver, back seat left) are defined when you give the order, so you can steal their seats and get a "negative!"
