I don't have the advanced options for waypoints.

[Ricky27 0]

I am trying to make a scene of a helicopter with troops arriving at a point and I want it to land but I do not have the option in the waypoints to achieve it. How can I do it or how do I activate the advanced waypoints?

When editing you need to start with simple things and go from there.

 

Start with one jeep with one driver and one passenger.

 

There is a "disembark".  Try that and go from there.

Place/script a simple move waypoint for your helicopter.

On activation field of this waypoint (edited, or using setWaypointStatements for a scripted one) just write:

vehicle this land "LAND";

 

Note: You can also use the advanced waypoint land (instead of move), but no sure it works as you wish.

Does this do something different than "this land 'LAND'"?  Or to ask it another way, does doing it the way you mentioned fix the AI just hovering instead of actually landing if you have  a trigger set to prevent moving to the next waypoint?

Always follow the syntax.

Waypoints // this refers to the group leader

land // helicopter land mode

Place helicopter, add waypoint, edit waypoint.

 

When you first open the created "MOVE" waypoint, you will see this:

 

 

Scroll all the way up to the top of the "Type" field to find the "Advanced" waypoints:

 

 

Select and save.
