Wich units are in vehicle

[SaintPier 10]

Hi,

I have a plane that starts flying.

How can i get the array of units inside the plane?

Thanks,

SaintPier

crew name_of_vehicle

you have also commands like driver name_of_vehicle, gunner, commander which maybe helpful when trying to get array of units who are just sitting in the back of plane.

for planes it should be enough

_cargo = (crew name_of_vehicle) - [driver name_of_vehicle,gunner name_of_vehicle]

Thanks again Reyhard.

Things can be sooooo easy right ?

Can you tell me also how to fill a flying plane with units?

I have found this c-130 and want to stuff as many units in as possible.

At a waypoint i want them to jump out. For that i have a script, but how to get the unit in a vehicle wich starts flying?

THX ;-)

{_x moveincargo name_of_plane}foreach units group this - write this in init of group leader. This will put all units into plane. Be careful with that - if you will write this in any non-local space units will not get in (this is local command).

With non-local space you mean network game?

If i write the script in the Init.sqs, will it work on all computers?

[reyhard 2082]

yes - non-local space maybe script, that runs on client machines that are not servers.

But, I forget to mention about another thing, if leader of certain group is player (non-server client), then, if you would wrote that script in his init line, all AI units, that he has under his command, would not get in plane. So units that are local to player can be but to vehicles that are also local to him, but if vehicle is not local, then nothing will happen (you read about on biwiki, I'm bit tired right, so if it's not clear enough, I would reply tomorrow).

here's a recent scriupt I wrote for making a team of spetsnaz and putting them in 2 APC's and 2 trucks - some of the syntax might be informative - it took me DAYS to get the cargo function to work and it came down to locations of spawn of unit and time delay between commands so far as i could see:

Thanks Eggbeast.

The 'sleep' command is new for me. Is that a newer version of OFP maybe?

The command i use is ~

Anyway...I have the creation of units working. The problem is tp get it working in MP. Halfway the mission, there is a timed event, wich works fine when i test the mission alone. But yesterday we tried the mission with 3 MP's and the timed trigger didn't work. The trigger sets a boolean on activation to TRUE. In the init.sqs i Publish that variable with 'PublicVariable "SecondAttack" '. This is what i think is happaning :

On the server the trigger activates. SecondAttack becomes true.

PublicVariable "SecondAttack" sends the variable over the network.

But Init.sqs is also running on the clients, so the clients also do a 'PublicVariable "SecondAttack" '. The the boolean is FALSE again, while it should be set to TRUE. And stay TRUE.

In other words : I have to check where the script is running before publishing the variable. I have read something about IsServer, but can't find it in the editor i am using. Probably my OFP 1.96 version is to old.
