engineOn – Talk

Not working with every vehicle type!

The engineOn command not working with all the vehicle types. You can turn on the engine of every vehicle (Air, Land and Sea), but you can't turn off the engine of helicopters. This is a known problem, and it was already reported in Arma 2 Link to DevHeaven.net, but somehow it's still not working in Arma 3 Beta 0.70.

Examples:

           (vehicle player) engineOn true;
           -----------------
           -Trun on any vehicle.

           (vehicle player) engineOn false;
           -----------------
           -Turn off any vehicle except Helicopters (Air).

If you still want to turn off the engine of a helicopter, you can use the Action - EngineOff commands insted of engineOn. You also can use this to turn it on.

Examples:

           player action ["engineOff", (vehicle player)] ;
           -----------------
           -Trun off any vehicle.

engineOn False Arma 3 1.28.127008 Helicopters

Just tested still does not work, I will submit a report but im pretty sure im not the only one. Killzone Kid what version did you test this on, are you using Dev branch? If so I see no reason to report this yet.
