Chopper trouble

[Rifleman 0]

dont know if its a bug or just something im doing wrong.

i know it worked fine in 1.2 not sure bout the beta versions but now in 1.3 when i assign a chopper a load wp to pick up troops it just hovers over the helipad, if im the sqaud leader i can order my guys to board the chopper and then it lands but wont wait for every1 to get on

it wont land for a all ai squad at all

i have a helipad

i have a load wp for the chopper at the helipad

i have a getin wp for the squad next to the load wp and they are sync'd

and it all worked fine like that in 1.2

havent tried it on anychoppers but the UH-60MG

any help will be appreciated

thx

I've never got the load wp to work with choppers, you can work around by making the wp a scripted one and making a script like

heli1 land "land"

@trigger1

exit

where heli1 is the chopper, and trigger1 is a variable you set true when your boys are on board.

e.g condition: me in heli1

on activation trigger1 = true

That's how I've done it, only pisser is the chopper starts to power down it's engines, and you need to tell your boys to board it before you do (once you have given the order though the heli will wait).

Hope that helps.

Well that's because you use 'land'. Use heli1 land "get in" instead. The chopper will land or hover half a meter above the ground untill the player/unit is aboard. Use heli1 land "get out" if you want the chopper to land so that you can disembark.

So

heli1 land "get in"

@trigger1

exit

Should work? V cool!
