But since there isn't really a good way to grab a player-character(outside of engine upgrades like OpenSauce) you'll have to use (unit (list_get (players) 0))) as your <unit> argument. - - - - - unit_enter_vehicle <unit> <vehicle> <string> <string> refers to the seat name. You'll find those seat names in the vehicle tags. The seat name has to be in "quotation marks" Edited by OrangeJuice on Apr 23, 2017 at 01:43 PM

Since you're trying compile it, it really depends on when you want it to run. Try declaring it as a startup script like saaaay: (Script startup "myScript" (begin ___(script here in parenthesis) ___(script here in parenthesis) ___(script here in parenthesis) ___(script here in parenthesis) ___(...........) ) ) And you'll spawn already in the pelican when the map loads Edited by OrangeJuice on Apr 23, 2017 at 02:25 PM

At the top of your scripts write (global unit player1 (list_get (players) 0)) Now whenever you need a unit, you can just write player1 instead Edit; but you have too many end parenthesis after unit Delete one of the ) and it will compile. You have 3 ( and you have 4 ) Also (unit is not needed as the expression youre using is already returning that data type. Edited by DeadHamster on Apr 23, 2017 at 03:29 PM
