emptyPositions combines both turret and cargo in its output. If you must know the true count of either, you will have to use fullCrew (tested on several vehicles)
I have not found a way to test for copilot in helicopters
Description
Returns the number of given empty positions in the vehicle.
Note
To return the actual units in the vehicle use fullCrew. However if only the number is desired, use emptyPositions because it is faster.
