tiger123 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Having re-started CMSF after a long period I`m having trouble getting my foot soldiers to enter vehicles. Where do I best place the waypoint? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankster65 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 You place it on the vehicle itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 IIRC If you afterwards order the vehicle to move, the troops may run to the original position of the vehicle, and only then try and find where it's gone to. IIRC (again) make waypoints for the vehicle to move to first, THEN place a waypoint for the troops on the vehicle so they will run to where the vehicle will end up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abneo3sierra Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Erwin is correct I think also, have at least sometimes seen them appear confused if you move the vehicle. If planning to just embark them onto a sitting still vehicle, you just click the vehicle when the little upwards arrow shows green, and they load. If then you move the vehicle before they arrive,they will usually go to the original place,then look for it, so, if planning to move the vehicle, you can either move it first, or, sometimes I will, if the vehicle is far off, have them just go to a spot near where the vehicle will end up,and that way they already begin moving, then once the vehicle is there, can have them load onto it also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 One more tip in case you're still having trouble: you can't load a unit that has more men in it than there are empty seats in the vehicle (little green dots at the bottom of the screen next to the vehicle silhouette). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFHutch Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hover the move order over the vehicle and when it turns into a green icon pointing downwards that means it's an embark order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
