The vehicles can now be loaded and unloaded successfully. This took longer than I thought it would, since I had problems with the vehicles collision hull interacting with the shuttles collision hull as it was being added.<\/p>\n

I could disable the collision hulls, but then there would be nothing to raycast against, so I couldn’t select the vehicle for unloading. I also discovered that raycasting to a child object in unity returns the transform of its parent, which would be the ship, not the vehicle.<\/p>\n

I got all of this sorted out, and I can now carry vehicles in the cargo bay of the shuttle, and load and unload them successfully. This is a pretty major step forward, I have wanted to add this feature for some time.<\/p>\n

I have also added the ability for the ai to enter and leave the vehicle if they are currently following the player. This was easier than I thought, since I could just copy code that I had already written for other actions.<\/p>\n

The only other thing that I need to do is texture the vehicle.<\/p>\n
