Removing Driver (not G-cards)

[RazorHead1 10]

Tried searching, but all I ended up with were threads for 'graphics cards drivers'.

What is the script for removing a driver in a vehicle that normally has one? ie an ammo truck has a driver by default. How do I remove him so the vehicle is empty. Besides using the 'empty' type of vehicles.

Why wouldn't you use an empty vehicle? What are you trying to do exactly?

[RazorHead1 10]

The vehicle I want to use is not in the empty list. So I have to use a manned one then un-man it. Trying to make a check point scenario with parked vehicles.

on init

driver vehicle this action["GETOUT",vehicle this]

or in some script

What vehicle is it? nuxil's idea would work, but then you'd have some dude standing around, and if he's grouped would probably be told to get back in unless you unassign him, which just adds more complexity to what's a very simple thing if we only knew what vehicle you're talking about. :)

I swear someone posted a code that could delete a pilot from a Huey. May be it was the whole copter but I thought they said something about just deleting the pilot as well. It was a thread about "adding cool stuff to missions" or something like that but I can't seem to find it under search and unfortunately there's so many repetitive threads in this section that a manual search is not gonna happen.

RazorHead1,

Not in the empty list? Which vehicle is that? maybe you could just spawn an empty one somehow.

how about a getout waypoint placed on the vehicle and then another close by with this in the action box

men=thislist;{ deletevehicle _x } forEach men;

What vehicle are you trying to add?

I was trying to add an ammo truck of a certain type in the end I just put an empty URAL and added the Ammo using script. A little longer but it got me the same results. Thanks guys.:cool:

Either way I just thought it would be useful (to us all) to know the code for removing actors from the vehicles.

In the editor, don't you just edit the vehicle properties to "playable" or something like that? In script, you just createVehicle. How can this be a problem?

Excuse me for borrowing this thread too, but I found it while I was browsing for a solution to a problem I have. I am wondering exactly the same thing.

I am working on a mission where you are going to get a helicopter and fly it over enemy grounds guarded by IGLA launchers. The idea is that you should take out the launchers before flying off with the chopper.

Now, if I just place an empty huey from the empty list, jump in and fly over, the launchers won't even fire. They will just keep you in their sights. But if you place a huey from the blufor side, kill all the crew or order them to disembark, and then fly that chopper over the same area, you will be blown out of the sky very soon. The game doesn't seem to fully register empty vehicles as enemy in the same way. The odd thing is that enemy foot soldiers will fire at it, no matter what.

I am probably overlooking something obvious but I would really want this to work without having to execute the crew or have it exit the chopper everytime I need to borrow it.

Cheers!

Some of the ammo trucks are under "Support" list, not under "Car".
