[Editor] KI Problems with land and drop units?

[Topper Harley 0]

Hello ive made 3 Chopper picking up 3 Squads first, i tell the each Squad to get in one Chopper and every Chopper got a Load- Waypoint pinned on his top. So, ive synchronize the "get in and load" Waypoint and told all 3 Choppers to "drop" the Units on diverent spots near battlefield and synchronized that with a "get out" Waypoint from the Squads. Ive used 2 UH1 and 1 UH60. So 1 UH1 does land correctly, he does land a bit stupid (goes high in the air before land) but he lands. The other UH1 first does rush in the battlefield and get shot down then normaly. If not, than he goes back to the drop Waypoint and start the landing. The UH60 just does nothing, he flyes to the Drop Waypoint and than just flyes at a spot i never told em to go and wait than forever.

So, how can i get this work?

If you work with scripting commands then you should know, that "GET IN" was changed to "GETIN" and "GET OUT" was changed to "GETOUT"

i dont work with scripts, i cant create them :(

i only used the Waypoint´s - commands

is there something like a howto Guide for advanced mission creating in ArmA (i know about php, could be usefull?)

You can check out Mr. Murray's Editing Guide which can be found Here

It's a very complex guide which do contain a How To work with ArmA.

Note: The guide is for ArmA 1 not ArmA 2 but most things are still the same.

No php can not be used in ArmA.

Well may there could be some problems, becouse of the current state of ArmA 2.

Some parts are very buggy and need to be fixed/enhanced.

I too have some problems getting things to work in ArmA 2.

So if it doesn't work then don't waste too much of your time trying to get them to work. Simply enjoy the beautyful life of ArmA 2. ;)
