Rearming ai choppers

[Redeye_87th 0]

Okay I've got a chalange!

I'm playing dynamic vietnam mission by Bagel. In this mission u can buy choppers (these are camcreated) and then fly around with them.

The chalange I face is how to get them to rearm. Once the chopper has used up all it's ammo it will fly to the nearest ammotruck and starts hovering over it but no ammo is transfered.

As far as I know heliname addmagazine "ammoname" doesn't work because the camecreated chopper doesn't have a name. The crew does have one.

Any ideas?

How about adding a FARP in the mission and then landing there ..

If I fly the chopper no prob. But the AI is flying the bird and those bastards just start flying cirlces around the ammo.

I get the same problem, I was thinking the flyinheight was the issue but I'm not sure. They just fly in circles at about 50m.

ermm...im a noob at scripting...so this is just a thought...cant u use bas_repairH? it repairs and rearms as far as i know, but u need to define a dammage level so the heli goes repair/rearm

No I personally can't use bas_ anything, I have some 'no addon' missions where this happens. This could be an issue with OFPR... I'm not sure, no time to play.

I'm not a scripter, but I know that, it may help you.

Any thing that gets camcreated should have a name, at list in triggers and waypoints, so it should be in scripts aswell, lets hoppe.

In this example, "mocoloco" is the name, so all you have to do is find what names have been used for this camcreated choppers.

But, again, I'm not a scripter, so I may be wrong.

Good luck.
