ⓘ
This command works only for vehicles, to get a unit remote-controlling a unit, see remoteControlled and remoteControl - Example 4.
Groups:
Remote Control

Syntax

Syntax:
UAVControl uav
Parameters:
uav: Object
Return Value:
Array in format [unit, vehicleRole] Arma 3 logo black.png1.96 or [unit1, vehicleRole1, unit2, vehicleRole2] (see Example 2), where:
  • unit: Object - UAV operator
  • vehicleRole: String - vehicle role of the operator in UAV. Can be "DRIVER", "GUNNER" or "" (not in control)

Examples

Example 1:
private _result = UAVControl _myUAV;
Example 2:
Since Arma 3 logo black.png1.96 this command returns both driver and gunner units if the UAV is controlled by 2 players. Here is the list of all expected outputs:
[player1, "DRIVER"] // player1 is controlling the UAV and is the pilot [player2, "GUNNER"] // player2 is controlling the UAV and is the gunner [player1, "DRIVER", player2, "GUNNER"] // player1 is controlling the UAV as the pilot, player2 is controlling the UAV as the gunner [player3, ""] // no one is controlling the UAV, player3 is connected to the UAV via terminal, but not controlling it yet [objNull, ""] // nobody is controlling or connected to the UAV
