Chopper Engine On Help

[strannix 10]

Hello, 

 

Trying to get a chopper to start it's engine but stay on the helipad until the 'Join' way point has been synchronized with a 'Get In' waypoint on another helicopter.

Essentially im trying to get the escort attack helicopter to lift off at the same time as the transport helo. At current it starts it's engines after the transport helo is airborne with the trans helo waiting in mid air for the ATK helo to catch up.

Using the Engine On Command seems to force the chopper to hover mid air until it's 'Join' waypoint has synchronized. 

 

Amateur developer here, have been stuck on this one for a while, your help would be greatly appreciated.

This may work not sure, after you turn on its engine command it to land. I know its already on ground but now it should not fly.

 

PS. Amateur here as well

I've managed to get it to fly a litter closer to the time the transport helicopter departs by using a trigger with "player action["engineOn", Name]" on activation for the 'Join' waypoint. 

Not as good as I would like it, would be nice if it was more synchronized, planned on having x2 escort helicopters but hey ho...
