orderGetIn question

[smacker909]

I'm trying to get a captive to get in a chopper..

_unit doMove (position _chopper); // he doesn't move
_unit assignAsCargo _chopper); [_unit] orderGetIn true; // he doesn't move

if he was EAST and then setCaptive, should I be able to get him to move into the WEST chopper?

It ought to be possible, have you tried to make the prisoner part of a group of captors? That ought to overcome his aversion of the other side's transport.

Thanks for the reply sander. I haven't tried that but will and report back.

Okay, it was the disableAI "MOVE" causing the trouble.. I thought having _unit switchMove "" after would allow him to move, but no such luck. Now using doStop _unit ... now follows the getin order.

Maybe it will help you to use the addwaypoint command.

Here's a way how I made a AI unit (a pilot in my case) board a heli:

group = group nameofdude;

wp0 = group AddWaypoint [Position nameofchopper, 0];
[group , 0] SetWaypointType "GetIn";

Damn! I should form the habit to read threads until the end before posting something. Good that you could get it to work already!
