ya eject script all the men board chopper when the chopper hits a trigger the men eject para drop but the the dam chopper waits till the ai hit the ground and then lands to pick them up

wow !!!! i got a parachute

so have u made wp's for the chopper to move away afterwards?

make the wp's u need and keep the chopper flying in one direction. make sure u don't sync the trigger with the wp and simply use the trig where u need it.

make sure that in the trigger u use the line

[unitname] exec "scriptname.sqs"

Check that the men aren't grouped with the helicopter... if they are then the helicopter will remain near its group leader...

Have you tried using one of those Vehicle spawning scripts to replace the helicopter once it drops the men..

Complicated and a hassle, I know.. but at least it'd solve the problem.

are you using the leavevehicle command after the units have ejected?

basically, try this

soldier1 action["eject", helo1, soldier1]; soldier1 leavevehicle helo1;

where soldier1 is the soldier and helo1 is the vehicle

hope this helps...
