Entering a vehicle from another map? Not working. (VXAce)

[Tsaiuki North]

I'm having an issue trying to get my character to transfer to another map and automatically be boarded on an airship. I have an exterior map with the "ship" (which is just an event with the vehicle picture), that when i action button it, it comes up with a confirmation to board the ship. 

Upon hitting "yes", the IDEA is that you will be undocking from a flying island, and will automatically be in the airship. But I just can't figure out how to make it do this.. I have tried using the set vehicle location to the place appropriate, and the ship does appear there, and i have used the "get on/off vehicle" in the event page, but all that happens is that my character appears there in the sky layered under the ship, and does not enter it. 

I have not done anything with vehicles before, but I assumed that the "get on/off vehicle" would automatically place you inside the vehicle. But then again, how does it know what vehicle you're looking for? it doesn't seem to give you an subset options... So what am I missing? How can i make this work?

--wrong forum, can someone please move this to vx ace support?

The get on/off vehicle command only triggers the same functions a if the player presses the action button upon facing the vehicle.

Which means the command can only be used if the player can get on the vehicle in the regular way as well - it does not ignore those regular conditions.

Which means the actor has to be adjacend (NOT under) the vehicle and facing it etc.

In the case of the Airship, you must be on top of it because that's how it is triggered normally.

It worked! I had the transfer player to one spot above the airship, and moved that to ontop of the airship and poof. works like a charm! thanks.

But.. now i have a followup question. I am trying to get my ship to automatically land on the floating island when it touches it, but i'm finding that while flying in the airship, it does not trigger events... how do i get events to activate while in the airship?

I guess you would need a Script for that.

Hm. I guess i'll have to come up with a different idea. Probably just a little landing port spot or something.. Thanks.
