Hi
Placing people is the same as placing bollards the difference is you must
use entity attached to entity to keep them on vessel you are putting them on.

How you put people on ships is different for AI characters or static characters.
As Eric said, static characters are placed the same way bollards are placed, but must be attached to the boat or it will sail without them.
AI characters are placed in the water anywhere near the boat and moved aboard with the “Character – Transfer To Ship” action.
This is all explained in the Mission Editor Notes. Working the examples thru Rescue a swimmer will show you how. Read the Taxi waypoints section.
My students tell me that the author’s email address in his 2008 editor manual.

Thank you I reread the notes and it finally sunk in.---------- by the way Ifound a way to get static people to move like on docks etc.  I attach them to a vehicle Roof then set the y of the car just below the surface and then plot the car to way points. Looks pretty good when coming in to port having people moving around in the distance.

Go into the main Vstep folder/ShipSimExtremes/projects/ShipSimExtremes/docs/mission editor. There you will find the Vstep manual for the editor. Also click on the link in the post three above this one. There you will find a more detailed manual by "mvsmith".
