How do you make it so that you spawn in a vehicle

or start in one

Scripts?

will it work in multiplayer?

im not sure but i think it only works for 1 person

More details please. You want each person driving their own vehicle, each person in a seat of certain vehicle, have them always in vehicles (so might as well have them each be a vehicle themselves rather than drive one, etc), you want them to only enter vehicles at this spawn area, you want the vehicles to move back to the spawn area as people enter them, etc.

Anyways, this is your basic idea

(global short NUMBER 0)
(script static "unit" player
(unit (list_get (players) NUMBER))
)

(script continuous rawrz
(if (volume_test_object  (player))
 (if (= (vehicle_test_seat_list warthog1 "w-driver" (players)) 0) 
  (vehicle_load_magic warthog1 "driver" (player))
  (if (= (vehicle_test_seat_list warthog2 "w-driver" (players)) 0) 
   (vehicle_load_magic warthog2 "driver" (player))
   (if (= (vehicle_test_seat_list warthog3 "w-driver" (players)) 0) 
    (vehicle_load_magic warthog3 "driver" (player))
))))
(if (< number 15) (set number (+ number 1)) (set number 0))
)

toss a trigger volume in a spawn area you've modeled outside the map. when they enter it, they are forced in the first available vehicle in that list (only made 3 in the example script. you can toss as many as you want)

when the game starts everyone is in there own vehicle, when they die they will spawn in a new vehicle of there own. it keeps looping, if you keep killing your self there will be thousands of vehicles, i still want them to get out

Make the player a vehicle, and not a biped?

you cant have huge numbers. there are limits on vehicles. Anyways, its best to just not have a vehicle grave yard. either have it teleport the not inuse vehicles to the start, or recreate them, etc. (to lazy to change it for you, do it yourself)

Also, I forgot that halomaps doesnt like the arrow things in posts, if you quote the script, you'll see some stuff halomaps isnt displaying.
