AI and take offs

[otester 0]

Why is it AI have such a hard time getting their plane down the run way and into the air?

I put a plane on a runway, told it to move up the run way then set a waypoint somewhere accross the map, AI in helis have no problem getting there even dropping troops off.

Is there a method for getting them into the air or just a common bug?

Some maps (read most of) do no have AI runways...Then take off and take on are impossible...

Aha ok, so I'm assuming correct you can't tell an AI were a set runway is?

I don't really know that this belongs in the Add on's but hey.

I agree, i always had the same problem (And i have no skill in scripting...never was quite sure how it worked...)

But i always wanted Air Support from an A-10 or something of that sort, but could never get it because i couldn't figure out how to make it work!

Just making a Vietnam map since now I'm going to have to fly the plane -.-

Stumbled accross this error while making a massive battle which I didn't get earlier while making a smaller conflict.

Size made the error?

Just use the "setvelocity" command, I do it all the time.

That will fix error?

No, he refers for planes taking off.

Yeah, and setVelocity is the way to go unless you do a more complicated script.

I tried putting a tank on a bridge before and it ended up under it, can I use something simular to setvelocity like setheight for an object? If so were would I put the command?

errm - you could ask a mod to move your thread over to

Mission Editing&Scripting forum and there you'll get a proper

answer very soon - you'll get it here too, but that's the

wrong place for this discussion.

Setpos is what you after - go and check the comref for

the use of the command - if it's unclear then post a question

in ME&S forum - or use the search.

Problem is that I see this code on OFP sites quite a lot yet were do I input it? I haven't seen any places in game.

Since i already pointed you to Mission Editing guess where's

the right place to start entering your code - yeah you're right

in the Mission Editor.

If you talk about playing only without making your own missions then take it that you can't do anything to solve

the problem.

Do I put it in the space next to "Inialisiation"??

[WackyIraqi 2]

yeah, on the unit you want "setpos" put it in the big "Init" field

Yay now I can put Mr. Tiger on the ardennes bridge properly.

Thanks for mass help guys!
