Get AI to lift cargo without pointing at it

Recommended Posts

Hi.

How do I order the AI to lift some cargo that I can't see? (I mean during the mission, not in editor) If you can see the cargo, the process is very simple; you point at the cargo and select "Lift cargo" in the command dialogue. But I don't know how to do it if the cargo is too far (for example when you want your pilot to bring you a vehicle or something from the base)

Simple way would be to use nearestObjects but this could be a issue if there are other objects below the helicopter that you don't want to be lifted. There are other ways too such as detecting object below the helicopter.

Thanks for your reply. But these are for the editor. I meant without changing the mission. Anyway, thanks.

Oh, I see... You posted in "ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING" so I presumed... Yeah. This is a suggestion / feature for the game by BIS I take it?

Just out of curiosity; when have these two ai commands been added to the action menu,  ''Lift Cargo'' and ''Move to and Drop Cargo''? I just found out about these two this weekend and i kinda can't believe they have been there since the helicopter dlc released. I searched the dev branch release log, but didn't find anything specific to theses to action commands.
