Select just the passengers in a vehicle excluding Crew

[Beerkan 71]

Hey guys, hope you can help.

 

I'm trying to select just the passengers in a vehicle.

_passengers = assignedcargo _heli;

Unfortunately for some vehicles, this is not picking up all units assignedcargo. V44X I'm looking at you!!

Therefore to get round this I've tried this.

_crew = crew _heli;
_passengers = [];

{If (_x in _heli && alive _x) then {_passengers pushback _x};} foreach allunits;// This gets everyone incuding pilot/copilot gunner etc.

_passengers = _passengers - _crew;//Now remove just the crew.

Unfortunately however, in the above example the _passengers array ends up empty. It's the same if I were to use _crew = fullcrew _heli.
It seems both crew and fullcrew select all occupants ie. crew passengers.

Anyway, I'm sure there is a better way. For example I'm sure I can change the IF condition to select passengers but de-select the crew without trying to remove them from afterwards _passengers.

 

Has anyone got any ideas for a better solution to get just the _passengers of a _heli?

fullCrew with cargo filter perhaps?

you mean fullCrew? cant find allCrew from the wiki

Already corrected, yes.

See my original post. I have tried fullcrew, it selects the same units as crew, just with more info. In my testing I had use hints to show the content of  _passengers _crew etc.

 

I can't use cargo because this leaves some units behind. For example try assigning an infantry group as cargo to a VX44 and then eject them  3 units get left behind. i.e.

_passengers = assignedcargo _heli;

{    unassignvehicle _x;
    moveout _x;
} forEach _passengers;

 

If _heli is a V44X units get left behind.

 

In order for my script to be generic, I need to be able to select a random i.e. unknown number of units/groups within ANY vehicle but not also include the crew in the array.

 

Any help appreciated.

how did you place the units in cargo? with moveInCargo & assignAsCargo commands?

This should work:

_crew = crew vx;
{
_role = assignedVehicleRole _x;
if(count _role > 0) then
{
 if((_role select 0) == "Cargo") then
 {
  player sidechat format["Ejecting: %1", _x]; // debug...
  unassignvehicle _x;
  moveout _x;
 };
};
} foreach _crew;

have you tried to use filter? It is not clear from your answer

 

_passengers = fullCrew [_veh, "cargo"];

Yes, I used assignAsCargo then moveInCargo.

Will give it a shot.

Didn't try just "cargo", however I actually tried

_passengers = fullCrew [_veh, ""] - fullCrew [_veh, "driver"] - fullCrew [_veh, "turret"] blah blah gunner, commander, etc  etc ;

Which didn't work.

I'll give both your suggestions a shot.

Did some testing and found at that the fullCrew with cargo filter doesnt work for the V44-X because the passenger seats are considered "turrets" (atleast some of them, my guess is the ones near the ramp).

 

this is how I tested:

 

_clist = fullCrew _helo;

diag_log format["%1",_clist];

V44-X:

 

prints:

[[vxD,""driver"",-1,[],false],
[testguy3,""cargo"",2,[],false],
[B Alpha 1-2:2,""Turret"",-1,[0],false],
[B Alpha 1-2:3,""Turret"",-1,[1],false],
[B Alpha 1-2:4,""Turret"",-1,[2],false],
[testguy1,""Turret"",0,[3],true],
[testguy2,""Turret"",1,[4],true]]"

 

CH67 (huron):

 

prints:

[hrD,""driver"",-1,[],false],
[testguy1,""cargo"",0,[],false],
[testguy2,""cargo"",1,[],false],
[testguy3,""cargo"",2,[],false],
[B Alpha 1-3:2,""Turret"",-1,[0],false]]"

 

 

(testguys are all supposed to be in cargo)

 

 

Edit: However the boolean value tells if the turret is a "personTurret"
