ok so you MUST know the vehicle (e) number and you MUST place the 12 characters around it straight after you place the vehicle
note i placed them from top left in a clockwise fashion
(the back 3 will be placed at the front as well however - see pic)
picture for layout
edit, this is my example path (i have now hit an error with my testing - collision isnt working as it did before - it keeps kicking me out of the space rather than keeping me inside it)
vehicleN = 2
barrierN = vechileN + 1
--resize the vechile
Scale(vehicleN, 400); --wooden pallet
waypoint = {}
endwaypoint = 10
for a = 1, endwaypoint do
waypoint[a] = 0
end
function transportpath_main(e)

--player enters transport
if nextwp == 1 then
if waypoint[nextwp] == 0 then
distance = 1
settransport(e)

Prompt("distance remaining = " .. distance .. " nextwp = " .. nextwp .. " gateshut = " .. gateshut)

and this requires some functions from inside globals

let me know if you get it working or can help expand it... i think this could be useful until real transport gets included (looks like it'll be a couple months yet)
