How do I man Vehicles?

Vehicles have up to 3 "active" positions in them:

  • Commander
  • Driver
  • Gunner

In addition, some vehicles have Cargo space in which to carry extra units. Tanks and armoured vehicles usually have the three main positions. Aircraft usually have position of Pilot and Gunner.

To put a unit directly into the Commander's seat:

soldierOne moveInCommander tankOne

To put a unit directly into the Driver's seat(includes aircraft):

 

soldierOne moveInDriver tankOne

 

To put a unit directly into the Gunner's seat:

soldierOne moveInGunner tankOne 

To put a unit into a cargo seat:

 

soldierOne moveInCargo [jeepOne, 1]

 

Note: Units put into cargo will fill up the cargo space sequentially, but sometimes you may wish to have gaps in the cargo spaces for a more natural look.To achieve this, create a Game Logic and name it, and then move that into cargo just as you would an ordinary unit. The Game Logic will occupy the seat - invisibly - and the next unit to board in cargo will occupy the next sequential seat, creating a more natural gap between units.

With ArmA came the moveInTurret command, to move a unit in to a specific turrent use:

soldierOne moveInTurret [tank, [0, 0]]
