Make a new Vcmd

[timmiej93]

Hey,

I'm, trying to make a towtruck station, but therefore I need a return to "..." Vcmd. It's just that I don't have a clue how to make a new one like this. I did assign VcmdToTowTruck to the tow truck, but do I have to link this Vcmd to a script in some way??? Ofcourse there must be a script behind the Vcmd, or else it's just useless, but how do I link the two??

I hope you understand what I mean, if not please leave a message.

In the script you would link the command to the actual action. In theory, not in code, it would basically do this. The object button To Towtruck would have the unit go to the virtual object called XYZVO and unload a load, then go to ZYXVO and park to be called out again. Look at hoppah's to fire station commands to see the exact coding for this

Hey, thanks for responding.

I think I got the basics scripted right now, but I would like to make the transported vehicle disappear after 5 (or so) seconds, without blowing it up and damaging something.

Here's the script:

Ok so this is how to check if the towtruck has a load right?

v.GetCarriedObjects().GetNumObjects()>0

When i hit the button now, it doesn't do anything exept for turning of the flashing lights.
