Vehicle respawn script on OFPEC

Here's the same mission again with the vehicle respawn script. Note that this only respawns empty vehicles for players to use (or command their AI to use). AI will not automatically board available empty vehicles, that would all have to be scripted. For this vehicle respawn script the first vehicle placed down in the editor must have "vehicles = [this]" in its init line, all vehicles placed after that need to have "vehicles = vehicles + [this]" in their init lines.

It really depends on what kind of mission you are making if you want AI to use vehicles. You can either use them in a "single player" style of spawning an entire crew, telling them to get in a vehicle (using script) then moving their waypoints around to control them, they then fight together as a team in the same way as they do in single player. The other style is if you want "bots" which act like spawned humans to occupy playable slots in a multiplayer mission, these are much harder to script, since generally they need to locate a vehicle (having decided they need one), decide which position they need to occupy then control the vehicle in a human like way. The last part is very challenging since a human player can control a tank by themselves, changing between the driver and gunner positions when necessary, an AI needs to be told via script when to change to gunner and when to drive.

Either way it is quite a bit more complicated than the respawning empty vehicles or units with weapons. If you want examples of how to do it, you'll have to tell me which style of AI you want.
