Is there a way

[Stag]

To check the cargo status of a vehicle; eg; if it's still got passengers?

Thanks in advance.

sure. the men in cargo can be put in an array like this:
menInCargo = crew Transport - [driver Transport, gunner Transport, commander Transport];
or something like that. Bascially you just take an array of the crew of the vehicle, and remove the driver, gunner, and commander, if there are any.

Thanks mate, but I'm looking for something broader.

The final mission may have a cast of thousands (ok, dozens).

Stage 1 would be is the vehicle empty?

Stage 2 would be: Can I make a second and subsequent group jump through hoops before boarding the transport?

Well "count crew Transport == 0" would tell you if it is entirely empty, and you could probably write a function to tell you only about cargo.

I'm not sure what you mean by "jump through the hoops before boarding the transport" though. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif

Stage 1,
count (crew vehicle) > 0

will be true if full, false if empty.

Stage 2, well, I don't know.

(took to long to write... again)

I think that's one that I can get to work.

"jump through hoops": Perform "certain actions"
