createvehicle "logic" doesn´t works?

[Chaos 0]

Hello, i found following problem:

_alg = "logic" createvehicle [0,0,0];
~1
hint format ["%1",_alg]; 

The hint answer is "<OBJ-NULL>".

Probably it is a bug. Can anyone confirm it as bug?

This was changed in ArmA 2.

Logics only can be created by the command "createVehicleLocal"

_alg = "logic" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];
~1
hint format ["%1",_alg];

WTF? Thanks for the info.

Thats not 100% correct,

you can also create a logic via createunit !

In this case you are also able to interact with them from other machines like before ArmA2 ;)

Actualy, you should. Using createVehicleLocal for spawning logic units is not 'legal' way how to do it and could cause some unexpected errors.

that's fine and good, but createUnit forces me to MUST USE an already existing group which also causes 'unexpected' results, such as suddenly appearing as a 'vehicle' in the players icon tray.

"logic" createUnit [[0,0,0], group player] // eg

there's an unhelpful note in the comref:

" If you do not wish it to be in a group, you can create a gamelogic and group it to that. Note: The unit will deny to move away from the gamelogic."

umm errr, 'creating a gamelogic' is exactly what i want to do, a catch 22

if the author meant an already existing gamelogic on the map, then not being able to move it is also unhelpfull.

This is what I use:

if ((isNil ("SPY_GAMELOGIC"))) then {

_center = createCenter sideLogic;
_group = createGroup _center;
SPY_GAMELOGIC = _group createUnit ["LOGIC", [0, 0, 0], [], 0, "NONE"];
publicVariable "SPY_GAMELOGIC";

};
