Tracked vehicles are a mess. It seems no matter what setting I have the waypoint on everyone but the lead vehicle finds the nearest rock or house to get stuck on and stays there.
If you want people to spawn in the vehicle when games begin and stay there, add a vehicle with crew (driver essentialy) and then name that vic to "c1". Then the people you want to be in that vic just spawn them in and add this in their Init: "this MoveInCargo c1"
There are better ways to handle a convoy. You started right BUT what happens if vehicles have different speeds? In order to handle this problem, you should set the max speed for each Vehicle in the convoy to an equal speed (eg. 35 k/h). Also make sure the waypoints set bevor any crossings - that makes the calculation for the AI easier. For Keep them on the rod, do not Forget to set "stay on road". Sorry for my bad english.

It's also easy, open the vec's attributes WITH the 3den Enhanced Editor, open Object: Special Status, then find "Stay on road" and btw. set a max. speed for each vec in the convoy. As some vec's go faster than others you hinder them with the max speed to overtake one and the other. (Again, sorry for my bad english and also, I hope I translatet my german inteface correct into english...) Best regards Gerd
Hello, I am a kinda new to making missions. I know some basics but, I want to make a convoy with a BTR infront, jeep and 2 Armed Cars (I am using mods). I groupped all of them to the first vehicle (BTR). But everytime I start the mission, the squad leader (AI) orders few men to disembark and then get in again (Also AIs). After that, they follow the waypoints. Any help? I tried to lock the vehicles, it only locks for me, the AIs can still get out. I tried LockCargo, I tried Safe behaviour and setcombat mode blue. I even tried to make them playable, as I was desperate. It is really frustrating and I spend most of the time rage killing the AIs instead of making the mission. There are also no enemies yet. (The convoy's side is OPFOR, including me)
Yeah this doesn't work. Did this with a convoy of HumVees and then all just fucked off in different directions. No matter how I group them. I connect them to the first vehicle, I connect them in series, even if I don't connect them they just drive in different directions.
Yeah dude, it should work. They are vehicles after all. However, there are other comments describing other choices. If you want an armored convoy with maybe, for example, 1 apc in the front, a car in the middle, and a tank in the back, you would need to set a max speed. Also make sure they are the same group.
