like damage said. but u would have to have 2 men starting inside that have been placed by u.

to do this simply give the heli a name, for instance "heli"

and with the 2 men u would make 2 small trigs that would go over them and call them ap and ap2;

in the on act

ap moveindriver heli

and for the second

ap2 moveingunner heli

u have to do this otherwise u will just make the heli blow up.  

then give the man thats goin to be the driver a move wp, or wot eva u want then make a trigger and in the on activation field type ap setdammage 1. thats should do it mate.

or instead of making the triggers you could just write it in the activation fields for the two units!

uuhh?? units dont have activation fields!!!!!

and if u mean the init fields then they would die straight away, wot if he needs them to survive for a lil time.

hes talking about a waypoint

they have activation fields, so when the unit gets to that way point, the activation line will set his damage to 1, and he will die.

a little bit of knowledge for all, even the experienced ones. At first I thought the strategy guide that came with red hammer was going to be useless for editing, but they had some good facts and explanations. For example, you can just put a helicopter on the map and name it heli1. Then when your trigger fires to kill the pilot, just type in the activation field heli1d setdammage 1;

I read this and it works. if you have a vehicle named heli1 then you can refer to the pilot or driver with heli1d to the commander by heli1c and the gunner by heli1g this is really useful and will cut down on a lot of work.

OK. That helps.

But if the driver is the only ppl in the heli, will it blow up like rob said?
