Helicopter Pickup Script

[patpowercat 7]

I am trying to set up a spawned helicopter that come in, picks up a group, and flys them out, then deleting both the group and the helicopter. The group is pre-defined in the editor. This is what I have so far:

_crew1 = [];
_airframe1 = [];

if (isServer) then {

_crew1 = creategroup WEST; 
_airframe1 = [getMarkerPos "spawnrescue", 45,  "B_Heli_Transport_03_F", _crew1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;

_wp1 = _crew1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "rescue1"), 0, 1];
_wp1 setWaypointType "LOAD";
_wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FAST";
_wp1 setwaypointstatements ["this land 'land'"];

_wp2 = _crew1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "spawnrescue"), 0, 2];
_wp2 setWaypointType "MOVE";
_wp2 setWaypointSpeed "FAST";
_wp2 setWaypointStatements ["true", "{deleteVehicle _x;} forEach crew (vehicle this) + [vehicle this];"]; 


_wp1a = _prisoners addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "rescue1", 0, 1];
_wp1a setWaypointType "GETIN NEAREST";
_wp2a = _prisoners addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "spawnrescue", 0, 2];
_wp2a setWaypointStatements ["true","{deletegroup _x;}];
[_crew1,1] synchronizeWaypoint [[_prisoners,1]]

However, nothing happens when running this script. Anyone able to spot why?

if (isServer) then {

has no closing

}:

Stick one at the end of your script. Also,

[_crew1,1] synchronizeWaypoint [[_prisoners,1]]

is missing an

;

at the end.

You last line is also missing a quotation mark.

_crew1 = [];
_airframe1 = [];

if (isServer) then {

{
_x setCaptive false; 
_x EnableAI "Move";
   } forEach units prisoners;

_crew1 = creategroup WEST; 
_airframe1 = [getMarkerPos "spawnrescue", 45,  "B_Heli_Transport_03_F", _crew1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;

_wp1 = _crew1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "rescue1"), 0, 1];
_wp1 setWaypointType "LOAD";
_wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FAST";
_wp1 setwaypointstatements ["this land 'land'"];

_wp2 = _crew1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "spawnrescue"), 0, 2];
_wp2 setWaypointType "MOVE";
_wp2 setWaypointSpeed "FAST";
_wp2 setWaypointStatements ["true", "{deleteVehicle _x;} forEach crew (vehicle this) + [vehicle this];"]; 


_wp1a = prisoners addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "rescue1", 0, 1];
_wp1a setWaypointType "GETIN NEAREST";
_wp2a = prisoners addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "spawnrescue", 0, 2];
_wp2a setWaypointStatements ["true","{deletegroup _x;}];
[_crew1,1] synchronizeWaypoint [[prisoners,1]];
}:

Ok, added in the missing ; and }:

 

However, still get nothing when I run the script.

Ok so if I name the group leader of the prisoners p1 the following script works just fine:

_crew1 = [];_airframe1 = [];
_prisoners = group p1;


if (isServer) then {


{
_x setCaptive false; 
_x EnableAI "Move";
   } forEach units p1;


_crew1 = creategroup WEST; 
_airframe1 = [getMarkerPos "spawnrescue", 45,  "B_Heli_Transport_03_F", _crew1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;


_wp1 = _crew1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "rescue1"), 0, 1];
_wp1 setWaypointType "LOAD";
_wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FAST";
_wp1 setwaypointstatements ["this land 'land'"];


_wp2 = _crew1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "spawnrescue"), 0, 2];
_wp2 setWaypointType "MOVE";
_wp2 setWaypointSpeed "FAST";
_wp2 setWaypointStatements ["true", "{deleteVehicle _x;} forEach crew (vehicle this) + [vehicle this];"]; 


_wp1a = _prisoners addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "rescue1", 0, 1];
_wp1a setWaypointType "GETIN NEAREST";
[_crew1, 1] synchronizeWaypoint [ [_prisoners, 1] ];

};

 

The prisoners are become free, a helicopter is spawned that flies in. The prisoners move towards that point. However, the helicopter doesn't land, and the prisoners do not load.  Soon as I add this to the script:

_wp2a = _prisoners addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "spawnrescue", 0, 2];
_wp2a setWaypointStatements ["true","{deletegroup _x;}];

Then I get nothing. No errors, no spawns, no freed prisoners. Nothing happens at all.

Got it by changing GETIN NEAREST to GETIN

As pointed out by R3vo, this line is still wrong.

_wp2a setWaypointStatements ["true","{deletegroup _x;}];

Update your script editor to something like notepad ++ and download an Arma 3 sqf library for it.

It would have spotted these mistakes for you.
