Trouble building an on road convoy of vehicles.

I know I made these in GB, but it's been a while and can't seem to link following vehicles to the lead one. In the screenshot below, I had several trucks behind the lead car, but no matter what I tried they wouldn't move.  The lead vehicle will move down the road to it's waypoint.

I feel like a total noob again with the mission builder, and the old GB manual does not cover this.

I haven't created any vehicle convoys in the new editor yet, but if they work like in GB, there oughta be a target link from the other vehicles to the lead vehicle. Judging from the picture, this doesn't seem to be the case.

For each trailing vehicle: Advanced properties -> Targed ID: Add by Dialog -> select lead vehicle. Now for the lead vehicle: Advanced properties -> Change Formation -> make sure the order matches the intended one.

I tried the add by dialog and it didn't seem to work.  Odd.  I will play with it more.  Thanks!

I didn't try yet, but how are your vehicles, activate or spawn ?

Just target link the following vehicles to the lead vehicle like you do with a plane formation. Make sure they are linked in the order they are placed on the road or they will make a mess at the start.

Spoiler

and @Habu is correct, they have to be enabled or activated, not spawned.

I put the first waypoint close to the lead vehicle so they don't wander off the road at the start.
