ForceAIOutOfVehicles will prevent all AI or AI on a specified team from using any vehicle. Instead, as soon as the ship lands in the hangar, use SetProperty to set DisableTime for the ship to 1+e37, and then immediately use SetProperty again to set DisableTime to 0. This will instantaneously kick all units out of the ship while still making entering the ship possible afterwards.

Currently my code looks like this:

Code: Select all

function ScriptPostLoad()
ActivateRegion("rep-cp1con")
Land = OnEnterRegion(
   function(region, character)
      if GetEntityClass(GetCharacterVehicle(character)) == FindEntityClass("cis_fly_droidgunship") then
            print("flyer found :D")
         ship = GetCharacterVehicle(character)
         EntityFlyerLand(ship)
            print("Houston, the Eagle has landed")
      end
      if not IsCharacerHuman(character) then
         ExitVehicle(character)
      end
   end,
   "rep-cp1con"
)
end

So what would my code look like with the features you included? This kind of scripting isn't exactly what I'm good at

There is a tutorial for this here:

The two new lines would be right after EntityFlyerLand(ship):

Code: Select all

function ScriptPostLoad()
ActivateRegion("rep-cp1con")
Land = OnEnterRegion(
   function(region, character)
      if GetEntityClass(GetCharacterVehicle(character)) == FindEntityClass("cis_fly_droidgunship") then
            print("flyer found :D")
         ship = GetCharacterVehicle(character)
         EntityFlyerLand(ship)
	      SetProperty(ship, "DisableTime", 1e+37)
	      SetProperty(ship, "DisableTime", 0)
            print("Houston, the Eagle has landed")
      end
      if not IsCharacerHuman(character) then
         ExitVehicle(character)
      end
   end,
   "rep-cp1con"
)
end

I don't know what would happen to the ship if you were to disable it while it is in the process of landing. But if the ship does successfully get disabled and also doesn't land properly, try creating and starting a timer to wait long enough for it to do so and then disable it.

I added the code like you said, but it's not working. 2-3 AI remain in the ship after landing.

However, I think it's note worthy I'm getting some odd Severity 3 messages in my BF2Log. Despite being severity 3, the game still works fine. I'll attach the relevant sections:

These sections were here before, but I wonder if they're interfering?

It would certainly help if IsCharacterHuman were spelled correctly. :p

Posted: **Tue Nov 08, 2016 9:31 pm**

Yeah...I just edited the code you posted without proofreading what was already there. Assumed it was already working...

Oh...huh. Lol. That's weird because the code IS working. The ships are landing and nobody is dying. I'll fix it right away

EDIT: With this new revelation of misspellings, I wonder if I'll even need the 2 lines you added.

EDIT2: It's all working now. All of it. Thanks so much guys! I left your code in AQT. I don't even want to mess with it anymore lol.

EDIT3: Still getting those errors, though...
