Description

Description:

Adds a specified vehicle for use by a specified AI led group.

Notes:

• The vehicle will be considered as available for use by this group.
• It creates a/adds to the vehicle pool for the given group to use. So more than one vehicle can be added to a group, and more than one group can be added to a vehicle.
• This is relevant for some waypoints like getIn and guard - potentially more.
• The AI choosing what vehicle to use based on the vehicle's cost value. Probably also distance to the available vehicles plays a role.
• When deciding whether to board a vehicle, AI leaders seem to only consider the transport benefit of a vehicle, ignoring any combat benefits the vehicle may provide.
• This happens also implicitly when using assignAsXXX or moveInXXX commands, or player GL orders units to enter a vehicle, as well editor or Zeus placed vehicles with units assigned to it.
• When vehicle is added in this way, it can appear as a target for the enemy - even if the vehicle currently has no crew.
• If used on a vehicle already driven by a member of another group, the driver will continue under his own group's orders, which may not benefit the addVehicle group.
• To remove vehicle from a group, use leaveVehicle.
