AI Disembark Helo/Parachute Death

[[SEN]Baraban 55]

Hi all,

I've had a quick search of the forums and only seen one reference to this in the section regarding the Evolution MP gametype.

Basically there seems to be a bug whereby when any of the AI soldiers disembark from a Helicopter or parachute, they sometimes stand about 3 feet in the air for about 3 seconds, then they drop down and fall over dead.

This seems to be happening to well over half of my men in the singleplayer and Multiplayer scenarios and is a bit of a mission wrecker, but I've not had this happen in the Campaign yet, so I'm wondering if this is really a bug - or is there a module or init function I'm supposed to add to the mission to prevent this from happening?

Kind regards,

i get this bug too in evolution mp.

when i got the rank corporal and above i tried to recruit AI into my squad.

they will parachute over to my location. some will hang mid air and die. but the AI icon will still be there and its in red. and i can't remove him from my squad, so i can't recruit someone else to replace the dead AI.

i don't know whether its a bug with the mp mission itself .

Hi Ryan,

I've tested this out in other missions and it seems to be happening with those too, not just Evolution - it looks like it could be an AI issue.

Even had it happen when I went into the mission editor and put myself and about 9 AI soldiers into an AI controlled Mi-17 which was also under my command, just to see if it made a difference.

Strange thing is that I've seen units being popped out of helo's and chutes about 1m above the ground in the past with Arma 1, but usually they just drop down to the ground gently and keep on running. I guess the soldiers in Arma2 just have some form of AI-brittle bone disease that screws them up when they fall a few feet or something, lol :P

Cheers.
