TANKS DLC: Group will not follow waypoint after entering vehicles assigned using addVehicle
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

If any group is given a waypoint and has a vehicle in either "Wheeled_APC_F" or "Tank_F", they will not complete their waypoint. The vehicle has been assigned to the group using (group) addVehicle (vehicle). They will enter the vehicle appropriately, but they will never move to the waypoint. Any vehicle of any other class will work just fine.

One work around is to wait until after the units have entered the vehicle. Then change their group (steps below) and reassign the waypoint. They will behave as normal.

Note, this is not due to the commander position, as not all of the vehicles in those classes have a commander position. I first noticed this after the Tanks update.

Steps To Reproduce

Open the editor, any map.

Place any group, naming one of the units Todd.

Place another unit a good distance away, at least 1km. Name it john.

Place any vehicle of the following classes: "Wheeled_APC_F" or "Tank_F", such as a T-100 or Madrid. Name that vehicle APC.

You can also place a vehicle of any other type, such as a cargo van. Name it Van.

Run the mission. Open the Debug Console, enter the following:

(group todd) addVehicle APC; (group todd) addWaypoint [john, 0];

Press LOCAL. You'll observe the group entering the APC or Tank and then sitting their for eternity.

To get them to move, once they are all in the APC, enter this into the Debug Console:

(units group todd) joinSilent (createGroup east); (group todd) addVehicle APC; (group todd) addWaypoint [john, 0];

Hit LOCAL, and watch things work just fine.

Restart, and this time enter this into the Debug Console and press LOCAL:

(group todd) addVehicle Van; (group todd) addWaypoint [john, 0];

Observe as the vehicle is used correctly.

Additional Information

I've attached a repro mission where you can have a group enter a few different vehicles by using Radio Triggers (Press 0 -> 0, then select which vehicle you want them to enter)
