# connectTerminalToUAV

*Command · Remote Control · Arma 3 v0.76*

Locality: arguments **global** · effect **global**

## Description

Connect person with UAV terminal to UAV unit. UAV Terminal item needs to be assigned to GPS slot. In MP the connection is handled [local](../commands/local.md)ly, therefore it is possible for multiple MP clients to connect to the same UAV. However, each UAV can only have one connection to a terminal per MP client, so if UAV is already connected to another terminal on the same MP client, this new connection will fail.

## Syntax

```sqf
person connectTerminalToUAV uav
```

**Parameters:**

- `person`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)
- `uav`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)

**Returns:** [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md) - [true](../commands/true.md) on success

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
bool = player connectTerminalToUAV uav1;
```

### Example 2

```sqf
player connectTerminalToUAV objNull; //disconnect
```
