Interesting Find: Automated vehicles

I'm thinking it could be perfect for Clone Wars ground and space maps. Imagine automated Homing Spider Droids, Hailfire Droids, Vultures, and more.

Sorry to be off-topic, and pardon my not using search, but how would you go about forcing a player into a vehicle as soon as he spawns?

EnterVehicle(character, vehicle) --this function has been tested and works perfectly.

tricky part is having a vehicle that's isolated. I tried creating a new vehicle using CreateEntity(), which works except for the fact that THE **** PILOT WEAPONS DON'T FUNCTION

Can you post the code in which the pilot's weapons don't function?

CreateEntity("cis_stapspawn", GetPathPoint("cp4_stap_spawn", stapnode))

CreateEntityHover("cis_stapspawn", GetPathPoint("cp4_stap_spawn", stapnode))

I tried using walkers, flyers, and hovers. Every single one of them had weapons in the pilot section but the weapons didn't work regardless of the forcing of players into the vehicle.
At the same time I had perfectly working vehicles spawning from the standard spawn odf.

Psych0fred says that this happens b/c the parts of the vehicle are being put together in the incorrect order when I use the function.

Somehow I can see an AT-ST walking on its roof with twin-ion engines sticking out of the cockpit.

animations work fine. In fact the pilot weapons are the ONLY things that don't come out right. That's why it's so fustrating...so close yet not close enough.
