helicopter's name needs to be in quotes

in the soldiers' init:

this moveincargo "vehicle";

[barbolani 198]

No, you do not have to put unit's name in quotes.

Don't know why is happening this, try naming the chopper with just "heli", maybe "helicopter" is a game's reserved expression....

Yes, try to avoid reserved words such as helicopter, tank etc.

Bazacop, perform these steps:

1) Place a helicopter in the editor. For the sake of this tutorial, we will use the Ghosthawk. It does not need to be flying. Give this helicopter the name helo1.

2) Place a rifleman in the editor. Since we are using the Ghosthawk helicopter, lets use a NATO rifleman. Ungroup him from the helicopter if he is placed grouped.

3) In the rifleman's initilization pane type (or copy and paste) the following: this moveInCargo helo1;

4) Preview your mission, and the soldier should now reside in the passenger compartment aboard the Ghosthawk.

Bashkire.

your right sorry guys, now how do I feel :o

thanks guys tho

think I need glass's :blush:

Another thing to bare in mind: the ";" means the end of a statement. Think of it as a full stop (period, if you're American) for scripting.

What you were saying when you were typing in "this ;movincargo ;heli" was essentially:

Soldier.

Put something in the cargo space.

This is the name of the helicopter.

Rather than:

Put this soldier, into the cargo area, of the helicopter named heli.

Glad it's fixed now!

{_x moveincargo heli} foreach units group this;
