My marines wont get in my vehicles, and I don't know why. The marines are using standard animation graphs, and the seats are labeled correctly. There are no other actors in the vehicles or anything. It just returns a 0 every time. Originally the seat labels were default, but it wasn't working so I changed the seat labels to "W-driver" which I know the marines have in their animation graphs, but it still doesn't work.

(vehicle_load_magic patrol_pelican "W-driver" (ai_actors patrol_pelican_driver))
(vehicle_load_magic scorpion "W-driver" (ai_actors driver))

Any help would be great.

Are you trying to use the script in-game or is it in a .hsc file? Because when I try to do scripts in-game it returns with a 0. Also I think ai_actors needs to be more specific, like into the squad like so:
(vehicle_load_magic patrol_pelican "W-driver" (ai_actors patrol_pelican_driver/driver)) or whatever the name of your squad is.

Hmm, I can't believe I forgot the squad name, but even after adding that in it still returns a 0, and I have it set to run through a script, but I've ran it ingame also to check and neither work.
E: also it doesn't work in Sapien either.

Is the vehicle placed ingame? If not, does it spawn before the ai is supposed to get in it?

Yeah, theoretically, everything should be working fine, but it doesn't for some reason.
Here's one script:
(ai_place driver)
(object_create scorpion)
(vehicle_load_magic scorpion "W-driver" (ai_actors driver/scorpion_driver))

and the other:
(object_create patrol_pelican)
(ai_place patrol_pelican_driver)
(vehicle_load_magic patrol_pelican "W-driver" (ai_actors patrol_pelican_driver/driver))

Hmm, The only thing I can think of is backing up your marine animations and re-extracting/downloading them. I had this problem before and thats what I did to solve it.
Also try using object_create_anew first.

The objects aren't created by default though, so why use object_create_anew?

Also, STRKR, yeah all the strings match in the vehicle tag. It's W-driver in both vehicles.

I see the problem. You're using the seat label rather than the seat marker name.

In my experience, (vehicle_load_magic) only works if you specify the seat marker name instead of its label. In Guerilla, the marker used for the seat is just under the label in a field called "marker name". For most vehicles, the driver's marker is just "driver", and the peli uses it too.

So replace "W-driver" with just plain "driver" and see if that fixes it.

If you're feeling really desperate, you could always just use "" instead of a specific label. That'll cause the AI to load into the first available seat that they can enter, which is normally the driver / pilot seat. If you want a different seat, change the seat label in the vehicle to something else that only that certain AI has. Remove all other animations from that AI. It's messy, but it works.

Thanks for all your help guys, I got it working now :D
Dunno how, but I did it :P

Because I posted :P
