Why won't AI drive if I am in the vehicle?

[SlugChucker]

So I have ran into an issue where if I climb into a vehicle crewed by my troops, and I then tell them to drive to xyz, they refuse to move. However if I climb out of the vehicle, and command them to drive to xyz, they move off with no problems.

Does anyone else experience this problem and do you have any solutions?

This is particularly frustrating when playing warlords mode; I either have to drive my AI everywhere or I have to drive in my own vehicle whilst my AI drives their own. This is messing the game up for me massively. Any help would be awesome.

AI sometimes get stuck in Warlords i have noticed, sometimes even on foot you direct one of them and they come back with 'negative' and don't move.
I have a mod 'AI Menu' installed where you can 'unstick' and AI, just select the offending unit and use the additional command menu the mod gives you and select 'unstick'.
9 times out of 10 that sorts the problem.

Also i use the 'Extended Movement' mod.
With this you can have an AI drive but you effectively drive by moving with WASD while in the Turret of a Tank for example.

Thanks for the response. Where can I find this mod? I searched for 'ai menu' but not sure I found the right one. Is this a client or server side mod?

Extended movement is on Steam Workshop, the AI Menu is on Armaholic iirc so once you download it to the correct folder you have to point the Arma Launcher to the folder so it can see it.
I will check for you and post the links.

Here is the thread on Bohemia Forums for AI menu

Enhanced Movement here on Workshop(sorry i said Extended earlier)

Unfortunately, Bohemia add more and more bugs over time, and they refuse to fix them.
Every once in a while, I come back to the game, in hopes that bugs have been fixed so that I can starting making tutorials, but instead, every time, they've added new bugs.


I've returned again, and these are the new bugs I've encountered since I've last played, so far (including your issue):

1. Relative callouts are now based on world north instead of group heading. So if the group is facing east and spots and enemy east, they'll say they're spotted "right". So they say "front" for north, "left" for west, etc.

2. High prone is broken. If you move in any direction but front, the character will snap back into prone.

3. AI who's been given a "get out" waypoint cannot be put into any vehicle ever again.

4. AI will no longer drive vehicles if a player is in a vehicle that isn't the lead. You'll have to either sit in the leading vehicle, or order them to move individually.


The way this game series is going, I fear ARMA 4 will be a DayZ clone and ARMA 5 will be a Call of Duty clone.

They should fixe all bugs, or work on Arma 4, instead off make more money with dlc.
