missing info Infantry embark to transport (mostly broken)

[T.Power]

I'm pretty sure ED is already aware that very few vehicles will allow AI infantry to embark, but as it really limits mission design is this being prioritized?

More details would help . Which cars or trucks ? So anyone else could test it too.

I ended up completely redesigning the mission so there is no track file.  I used Russian ver.3 and embarking failed with just about every vehicle other that the APC BTR-80.  I tried with a few different troops obviously avoiding the ones with asterisks, they also won't engage enemy troops at least on the Kola map even if they're running towards them and the enemy is firing at the Mi-8 that dropped them into the zone, very strange.

Here is a track and the .miz file. I did some research and found out, that many vehicles can transport troops. I used two russian trucks and the rus. infantry Ver.3. The first truck goes to WP 1 and embarks the infantry. At WP2 they are disembarked and run in direction WP3. When they close enough to the "blue" vehicle, they start to fire. Blue Vehicle explodes they keep on to WP 3 where a second truck is waiting for them. At a given time the truck is embarking the infantry and heading to his final WP. I did not put in a new disembarking order. The mission editor is a bit tricky. The more you work on the mission, the more can be false. The mission contains one mod. The volvo fuel truck. For any question. Contact me.

Have fun watching

Thank you.  We do have a bug though not the original one reported, I can only get troop groups that I created after the creation of the truck unit to embark, but not troop groups I had created before the creation of the truck unit.  I can also partially break embarkation by adjusting the position of the troops, some refuse to embark when I do this.  Would be great if you could confirm this so we can see if it's a mod conflict or if it's an order of creation bug.

Okay so I have had the time to test embarking troops to an Mi-8 on an empty Caucus map with a triggered "go to waypoint" task with multiple waypoints for the troops on disembarking.  They will all embark to transport, no issues.

Afghanistan, they will not embark at all if there are any waypoints for the push task.

South Atlantic, they will only embark if the push task is 1 waypoint.

Conclusion, the embarkation of troops to transport is a MAP SPECIFIC BUG.  I even tried the CH-47 on Afghanistan, no bueno.

So I have been trying to get the embark troops to work in ME. I only tried Afghanistan so others may work.  So thanks for that info. 

What do you mean by "Afghanistan, they will not embark at all if there are any waypoints for the push task."? What does waypoints for the push task?

My issue is I cannot get the menu to show airborne troops. I have tried it with waypoint advanced actions & triggered actions. I will have to try another map to see if I get a better result.
