Make a damaged helicopter return to base

[S_Z 0]

Is it possible to make a trigger that kicks in when a vehicles health has got down to a certain point? I want to make a chopper support a infantry-team but return to base if it gets badly hurt. Is it possible to make this in a relatively easy way (I’m pretty new to this stuff)?.

There's a command called "getdamage" that you can use. You could put it in the condition field of a trigger or waypoint.

It would look something like this: chopper1 getdamage >= 0.5;

I've never used it myself, but in theory it should work. Good luck with your mission.

Thanks!! Works perfect

I like the spelling of that commmand...getdammage

I can't get it to work

I tried the command but it wouldn't let me exit the WP setup. I had to change it to

getdammage chopper1 >=.5

And it doesn't work.

Yes, it should be â€getdammage chopper1 >= 0.5â€, and it works. I made a small test, I placed some east machinegunners on the ground and a west helicopter some distance away from them. Then I placed a â€move†WP (for the chopper) in the middle of all machinegunners and another â€move†WP back where the helicopter started.

In the first WP I put â€getdammage chopper1 >= 0.5†and set the WP to combat mode and open fire. In the second WP I put â€careless†and â€never fireâ€, I’m not sure you need to do that but I wanted the chopper to get out of there as soon as possible and not fire at anymore targets.

It works perfect, the chopper attacks targets until it gets to 50% damage then it moves to the second WP, just as I wanted

Make sure you have 0.5 not .5, I think (Not positive) that can screw the string. Other than that make sure it is all spelt correctly.
