Multiple teams for exctraction

[B@nditbe 0]

Hi all, i have a anoying problem, in my mission i use a simple chopper extraction script.

But my problem is that the chopper will only pick up one team after its landed and then takes off.

I have 3 teams of each 4 men, and i want the chopper picks em up all 3.

For example this line is in the trigger when the chopper landed and waits until the team boards the chopper before takin off :

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">chopper1 flyinheight 1.5; chopper1 land "get in"; [team,chopper1] exec "extraction.sqs";

Is there a way i can adapt this line so the chopper waits until team2 and team3 has boarded to ?

Thx in advance

Could you post the script you are using here please? It could easily be modified to work with more than one team.

Ofcourse, its a script by Daddl.

I would have asked himself if he wasnt on holiday now

;_group is any group of units and _chopper any kind of vehicle

;it also checks if leader is already outside vehicle. After a certain time

;You can define distance and angle relative to the vehicle, where the units

You can use the IN command to wait until a certain unit or group is onboard.

for instance,

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_ALLUNITS = (units group1) +(units group2) +(units group3) +(units group4)

;Now to wait till they are all aboard chopper

#wait

~2

? !("_x IN <CHOPPERNAME>" foreach groups):goto "wait"

;proceed or set condition to true here

EXTRACT = TRUE

That should work, and if you call it at the right time, then the game wont be waiting for dead units.

Move the first line into the loop and dead units shouldn't pose a problem.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

;Now to wait till they are all aboard chopper

#wait

_ALLUNITS = (units group1) +(units group2) +(units group3) +(units group4)

~2

? !("_x IN <CHOPPERNAME>" foreach _ALLUNITS):goto "wait"

;proceed or set condition to true here

EXTRACT = TRUE
