i want to have a squad of men board a chinook. then i want the heli to move off somewhere. but when i do this the heli flies off b4 my men get in it. how can i make the heli wait??

make a WP realy near the heli (from the heli) it doesn't matter what it is. then add more WP's after it to go where you want to.

then get the "get in" WP and sync it to the first WP.

it will then wait for the men to get in then move to it's next WP.

BTW WP means Waypoint if you didn't gues

i think red was little to fast and i see you are new

I will create some simple example mission for you:

to synchronize waypoints you must create one unit ( west truck for example ) and a unit ( for example mgunner )

create 2 waypoints for truck ( first near the truck- set as load transport)

{try to put truck on road}

the second further.

than do the same for mgunner ( let the waypoint 3 be a little in front of truck waypoint2 - set as get in )

then you press synchronize button

press and drag a line from truck waypoint2 to mgunner waypoint3 ( the thin blue line will appear betwen those two waypoints )

And then it will look like this

the truck will go to waypoint 2 then stops until the mgunner reaches waypoint3 and gets in, if he do that the truck will continue to go to wp3

that is it

its as simple as that. Most of peoples problems r to do with them not knowing how to use the "sync" action.

it would help us all though if u search for the subject u r gunna ask becuz there r loads of the same things out there and loads of people have different ways of doing stuff so u can practice with wot ever they say.

just use the search engine at the top of the site. :cool:

what I do is tell em all to board chopper (by pressin 9 then 5 and then left clickin the helo, then the helo will take off for a sec and come back down, then my platoon goes on the helo, then the helo goes to its way poin(S) and i tell em to disembark, and the helo goes down to let em go.

i really dont understand y the game acts differently al the time with different people. if u want me to look at it for u then e-mail it to me.

Ok, I know everyone is going to tell me to sync two waypoints, but I think someone hit on something when they said that a lot people don't really understand the useage of the sync function. I'm one of them. Anyway, my problem is that I can get the troops on the chopper, but it won't take off and head for it's next waypoint.

hehe, heres the easy way, just press (during the game) 9, then 5 and the click on the helo, ive seen the helo take off, come back land, and waited till everyone got on, if you ar missin some 1 just press 9, 5, 4, 2 and then the helo will do the same, but while ur in, by that time the ai dude will have the guts to go in

look all u have to do is make a get in wp for the men and a move wp for the hopper.

sync the d*amn wps together and it ont fly off til ur in it.
