Hello there Gametoast, it's been a long time since I have asked a question here, but as I cannot move along after spending hours working on this myself without any help I am once again forced to ask a question.

I have been trying to force your character into a vehicle on the first spawn and keep you in that vehicle (really it is just turret which will be animated) until I want it to let you leave. I know this is possible as it happened in Mav's 3rd Rebel Ops mission, I have my script so far here:

Hidden/Spoiler:

onfirstspawn = OnCharacterSpawn(

                   function(character)

                        if IsCharacterHuman(character) then

                           ReleaseCharacterSpawn(onfirstspawn)

                      onfirstspawn = nil

			   EnterVehicle(character, "uta_fly_ride_gunship")

                           objectives_timer = CreateTimer("objectives_timer")

                           SetTimerValue(objectives_timer, 2)

                           StartTimer(objectives_timer)

                           begin_objectives = OnTimerElapse(

                                                            function(timer)

                                                                StartObjectives ()

                                                                ScriptCB_EnableCommandPostVO(0)

                                                              end,

                                                              objectives_timer

                                                              )

                                       end

                           end

                           )

    Objective1 = ObjectiveGoto:New{TeamATT = ATT, -- objective made

                                   text = "level.hoth.c.2", popupText = "level.hoth.c.pop.2", -- show objective on screen

                                   regionName = "cp1_capture", mapIcon = "hud_objective_icon_circle", AIGoalWeight = 0}

    Objective1.OnStart = function(self)

                                   ATT_obj1_aigoal = AddAIGoal(ATT, "Deathmatch", 100)

                                   ATT_obj1_aigoal2 = AddAIGoal(ATT, "Defend", 200, "objective")

                                   MapAddEntityMarker("goto", "hud_objective_icon", 3.0, 1, "YELLOW", true) -- AI objective

     Objective1.OnComplete = function(self)

    		ATT_ReinforcementCount = GetReinforcementCount(ATT)

        	SetReinforcementCount(ATT, ATT_ReinforcementCount + 1)

    end

end

Currently You aren't even forced into the vehicle after you spawn, it is just there and you can walk up and enter it and complete the only objective I have set so far and win, but you aren't forced in when you spawn.

Thanks in advance.
