Helicopter help - extraction

[moriah888 10]

Srry to be a pain in the arse but I can't find the right command anywhere...

I've called a helicopter to extract my team....it swoops down and we get in....but im damned if i can find where to tell the chopper to return to base or to a waypoint?

Thanks

UPDATE : Trawled the forums and got an answer :) Gawd what a pain in the arse!

If you are making a mission and have set-up a ai heli ready for your call (one that is not under your direct control, i.e. alpha or bravo etc) then you would have to give it a waypoint back to where you want it to go after picking you up in your mission set-up..

If on the other hand you want a very simple but slightly more controllable method without having to script (just four clicks and a sync), AI set-up & you, he’s just simply waiting for your radio call, once called in the ai will get in the heli and become one of your group, you can then order him to come to your position, this is then a flexible option, give him orders to go anywhere, handy if your not sure where you will be when you need picking up, or not sure at first where you would like him to go..

You activate your 'Join & Lead' waypoint as soon as you move if you have set it right infront of your start position, it will only be served once you call him. He is in essence a member of your group, but only after he has been called in, until then, he’s not.

Done via a ‘trigger’ & ‘join’ waypoint. Ignore the icons, they are there just to highlight the item concerned in the text.

Edit: forgot to add your 'join & lead' wp is synced to his 'join' wp. But you knew that already..:rolleyes:
