Description:
Creates an object of the given type. The Created object is not transferred through network in MP games. netId of such vehicle in multiplayer will be "0:0".

Syntax

Syntax:
type createVehicleLocal position
Parameters:
type: String - vehicle/object className
position: Array format PositionAGL
Return Value:
Object

Alternative Syntax

Syntax:
createVehicleLocal [type, position, markers, placement, special]
Parameters:
type: String - vehicle/object className
position: Object, Array format Position2D or PositionATL (PositionAGL if watercraft or amphibious) - desired placement position
markers: Array of Strings - (Optional, default []) if the markers array contains any markers, the position is randomly picked from array of given markers plus desired placement position. If any of the markers were given z coordinate with setMarkerPos, the vehicle will also be created at given z coordinate.
placement: Number - (Optional, default 0) the vehicle is placed inside a circle with given position as center and placement as its radius.
special: String - (Optional, default "NONE") can be one of the following:
  • "NONE" - will look for suitable empty position near given position (subject to other placement params) before placing vehicle there.
  • "CAN_COLLIDE" - places vehicle at given position (subject to other placement params), without checking if others objects can cross its 3D model.
  • "FLY" - if vehicle is capable of flying and has crew, it will be made airborne at default height.
If special is "" or not specified, default "NONE" is used.
Return Value:
Object - created vehicle or objNull if failed

Examples

Example 1:
_lightSource = "#lightpoint" createVehicleLocal _pos;
Example 2:
Multiple types:
private _lightSource = "#lightsource" createVehicleLocal _pos; // see Light Source Tutorial private _lightReflector = "#lightreflector" createVehicleLocal _pos; // see Light Source Tutorial - since Arma 3 v2.06 private _particleSource = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal _pos; // see Particles Tutorial private _dynamicSound = "#dynamicsound" createVehicleLocal _pos; // see createSoundSource
Example 3:
// since Arma 3 v2.14 private _lightPoint = createVehicleLocal ["#lightpoint", getMarkerPos "marker1", ["marker2", "marker3"], 0, "NONE"];

WARNING: Do not instigate createVehicle or createVehicleLocal within a server function executed with preInit flag.
This will cause "You cannot play/edit this mission" for a vehicles compiled from a -mod and make server skip/loop that mission init.
