@BIS_fnc_KK any luck with this one, or a viable workaround you can think of?

@kju-PvPscene Could you do me a favour and make sure there are no AIs in the vehicle:

systemchat str crew vehicle player;
deleteVehicleCrew vehicle player;
systemchat str crew vehicle player;

and confirm that it is working now in all cases?

@BIS_fnc_KK I am using perf build - hosted it works if you are effectiveCommander (so you dont have to remove the AI if you are already depending on the specific vehicle setup if gunner or commander position is effectiveCommander).
DS nothing works at all. Without AI from the start, or deleting them or any other combo.

A little observation: in DS env it still starts the engine, but seems no movement input gets "communicated".

‘ hosted it works if you are effectiveCommander ‘

I’m confused, repro steps says it doesn’t work at all on hosted, and it wasn’t when I tested until I removed AIs and then it was working for any position even cargo

@BIS_fnc_KK It didnt, but works with latest stable build. (thought i was on perf - retesting now)

Ok this is the situation as best i can tell:

1. Never works with DS - regardless what you do (empty, made empty, starting as effective commander, starting as non effective commander, becoming effective commander, etc)
2. With hosted it:

a) works with cars if you are effective commander (regardless of empty, made empty, starting as effective commander, becoming effective commander, etc) [what position is effective commander depends on vehicle setup - commanding config parameter]
b) for tanks it works for empty
c) for tanks it works if you start as effective commander
d) for tanks you can become effective commander if you switch for both gunner and commander the AI to passenger (cargo) [by switching between them] AND getting out the tank and back in directly as gunner/commander - NOT as cargo and switch then

(taking over effective commander even works for a tank under command by another AI leader, and even if you have your own AI group leader)

so what hasDriver = -1; should do exactly? And how is it different from commanding the AI driver?

what hasDriver = -1; should do exactly?

To be able to drive at the same time while operating any turret or sitting in cargo.

how is it different from commanding the AI driver?

Fair question:
+ Less AI (performance)
+ No AI (can be confusing for PvP players)
+ Some scripting needed to make sure AI driver doesnt mess up things (invuln, not get out, etc)
+ No quick turret turn reaction(?)/radio command spamming unless unbound in key controls
+ Easier use for people not into the setup (I guess i could recreate the same setup more or less via init EH etc)

It's not a huge deal. If there is no "easy fix", as it looks like, I can work around it if necessary. One man tank used to be very popular back in OFP, hence BxBx tried to make them available again.

I’d much prefer gunnerisdriver and only gunner so unless you are gunner you can’t drive and driver pos is disabled

That should be good enough I'd say. So fine with me as well.

If one wants the commander position also be driving, having an AI driver via above mention elements should be acceptable.

@BIS_fnc_KK Is there a chance to still see this addressed one way or another?
