2 issues. one simple (chopper leaves when group is in) one advanced (const. sprint?)

hey guys, i have 2 issues with a mission im working on. the first is rather simple, and i will continue searching for the solution on my own, the reason im posting it is to possibly get an answer quicker, so dont scope in on me for asking that question.

first question. i have a chopper, it fly's in and waits until 2 conditions are met. 1 a unit named "hvt" is in and 2 group "ranger1" is in.

(hvt in ex2) and (ranger1 in ex2); <<< the command i used, ex2 being the chopper.

when i run it in the editor, it runs fine, i load the hvt and it takes off ass instructed but when i host my own server the chopper remains in position. im thinking it has something to do with the unit name server side and locally? my guess for now. anyways i will look into it.

my second issue, when i host my own server again, randomly my soldier starts the sprint animation, stops, starts, stops, starts, stops and keeps going. even if i load into a chopper he will get out and keep doing it on his own. im not sure wth that came from, im just curious if anybody had this issue, and if yes do you know a solution.

if anybody wants to take a look at the mission i can throw it up for download somehwere.

Hi... while hvt in ex2 may work.... ranger1 in ex2 won't!

Looking at the Script Commands it seems that you can only use an object here.... ranger1 is a group of objects/units.

Always look up your commands and don't just assume stuff will work.

Concerning the "always running" thing.... I've never seen that happen.

After reading that again... I'm not sure if ranger1 is a group or not. My apologies if I read it wrong.

roger that, i tried 2 things regarding that first one. hvt in ex2 by itself and with ranger1 in ex2. by itself it works in editor but not on a self hosted server. ill just drop looking for the player group all together, the chopper departs 30 seconds after the HVT is on board. anyways, the sprint issue is killing me...

the sprint issue was an acre issue. i had a pipe error for not running it as admin cause my player to bug out. problem solved. chopper still wont depart if its on a self hosted server. ill be able to figure it out though. mods can you close the thread?
