How to make the chopper stay at the same altitude ?

[dimeh98 10]

Hello, I have a problem on the mission editor, I wrote "this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, +600]" in the chopper initialisation, but the pilot get down bit by bit... How to solve this problem with the AI ?

Put in in the choppers init field

this flyInHeight 100;

Which means the chopper will mostly stay at 100 m height.

Hope that helps

cheers

It works only when there is a waypoint for the chopper.

The last comment on the wiki entry says the same thing about waypoints: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/flyInHeight

You can simply give the helo a "hold" waypoint and he should maintain height. I tested it with a BAF Merlin successfully.

Odd they will descend using flyinheight but not ascend

this seems to work without waypoints

h=75;this flyInHeight h;this domove (this modelToWorld [0,0,h]);

Helos will ascend IF you give them a way point with the flyInHeight. They love their waypoints! :)

I really like your suggestion, F2k, with modelToWorld.
