Hi , ive got this so far http://i29.tinypic.com/vp94bp.jpg but i need help on 2 things

1) how can i make the heli in the right hand corner follow the waypoints when a play triggers the trigger up by the dam?

2) im also putting a load of Ai enemy in , how can i make it so once all of them are dead an objective is done?

You should start by reading this: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Mission_Editor

To make your heli stay where it is till the dam trigger is set off you'd make your heli's first waypoint a HOLD waypoint. You'd make the Type of the dam trigger Switch and you'd synchronize the waypoint and the trigger.

Loads of AI = loads of lag. Make sure you don't put too much. To find out when all the AI in an area are dead put a Trigger that covers the area and have it activate on OPFOR - Not Present - Once. In the Triggers OnAct field you'd put the code to set the objective done.

Ah thanks , got it working now.

Just one more error (hopefully) , ive got this http://i29.tinypic.com/ohl9p0.jpg , ( heli unload way point , invisible heli pad , and a way-point for playable people for "getout" and that is synced with the heli unload) But this happens

( it gets to their , looks like its landing the just carrys on away ) , how can i fix this, ive never had this problem before.

Just last night I posted a demo mission for a helicopter insertion using triggers, such luck! :) Download that and check out the triggers and especially the:

helicopterName land "GET OUT";

Command to make it land with engines on. You could also Synchronize the two waypoints, one from the helicopter and one from the group. Or use the method I have in that mission.

Ah thanks ive got it working now.

I got to say your way looks a bit hard to do. Also ive got to say that OFP:dragon rising script editor is much easier for this stuff , if saying that isnt blasphemy against OFP series.
