Getting on board of a grounded helo

[kfine 0]

Is there a script that allows my troops to get on the chooper while it waits for them to get on the ground; with it's blades rotating; and then takes off to the next waypoint after everyone is on? This is done with a none playable group (the Al I mean.) :(

It did not work. I wanted the mission to start where the Helo is waiting on the ground. Is there a script command that enable the engine of the Helo? The mission starts like this: There are three Helos on the ground with their blades rotating waiting on 24 troop members to board the three helos. When they are all boarded the helos take off to their next waypoints. ???

You can set the Helo as "flying" in it's initialization.. and then..

use:  name flyinheight 8.5  where 8.5 is a height (in meters I think).  You can start in a low hover, or, theoretically, on the ground.

---> Word of advice, don't forget to change flyinheight back to a descent value once you want to fly!!!! (or else....)

Happy Editing!

Thanks for your attempt to help. It did not work. The troops will not get on the Helo and the Helo just stays at one place not going anywhere.

Thanks again

maybe this 'll work

place a waypoint for the heli near you and a trigger between you and the heli. In the on activation field type heliname land "LAND". Now create another waypoint where you want the heli to go. In the on Condition field type: soldiername in heliname AND soldier2 in heliname etc. To make the units get in create a waypoint (get in), place it on the heli's 1st waypoint and synchronize them.

have the helicopter start on the ground with however many squads you want to try fit in it nearby.

helicopter's first waypoint set to TALK, and then theres three boxes with min, mid and max, and something about time. if you put all three box's to 30, the chopper will wait on the ground doing nothing for 30 seconds, before moving to the next waypoint. this is ample time for the lads to get on.

for the squads, add a waypoint by clicking ontop of the chopper and setting it as "get in". then add another waypoint (seach and destroy) or whatever and put that over where you want them to go after the chopper drops them off.

i think that makes sense.

Place an H(invisible) where your chopper should wait then give the copper a "load"-waypoint. Give all squads which should board the chopper a "get in"-wp and group those wps with the load-wp of the chopper.

The chopper will now starts its engines and wait until all living men of those squads have boarded, then he will lift of and continue with its wps.
