armanewb 0 Posted August 13, 2007 Hello, as you can tell by my username, i am a newb at editing for ArmA. I have created a mission which i think is pretty good, however i'm having problems with extraction. I can synchronise the heli's to come and pick up the troops by linking it to a "opfor not present" trigger. However this is cumbersome and tends not to work. I have seen a mission where once you have finished ur objective you can click the map and a heli will pick your teams up and extract them. The mission is 1st_Battalion_Para_Regiment. I am wondering if someone can help me impliment this into my mission, PM me and i will send you the mission. If you can do it i will add your name in the credits and be very greatfull to you!!! Goin to bed now, then to work so I won't be back for about 18 hours, then i am at your disposal for about 7 hours Please help! P.S if you do except this and you notice some things in the mission that you have idea's on or think can be done better i will fully support this. Thanks Again!

fasad 1 Posted August 15, 2007 I'd recommend using a not present or a seized by trigger, scripting the extraction will be a lot more work, especially for a beginner. If you are keen to re-create something you've seen in another mission into one of yours, the best thing to do is to see how that mission achieves the effects (you'll need to de-pbo the mission file, then move the folding into your profile's mission folder).

armanewb 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Hi, thanks for the reply. I have managed to use an extraction script activated by radio and popping a smoke. However sometimes it works, and other times the chopper just flies strait off. I used this script http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=61803 However when i create the trigger which has the activation "{_x in Blackhawk} count units player == {alive _x} count units player" I get an error "Type Bool, expected Nothing". Im sure if i can figure this out it will work. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArMoGaDoN 0 Posted August 16, 2007 brackets / group - possibly.. ({x in Blackhawk}count units(group player)) == ({alive _x}count units(group player)) try that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
