You can place a unit: (side) Empty, (class) Objects, Invisible H , and place the waypoint near it.

The Invisible H marker wont show on players maps. If you want to see it, pick another type of "H", Civil, Rescue, Regular.

My chopper lands there, where I placed a Get Out waypoint for my squad inside. In "OnAct" of the waypoint, I added: RescueOne land "LAND";

RescueOne is my choppers name, and I read somewhere this ensures he lands, rather then dicking about waiting to be shot down, LOL.

Hope it helps (and works, hehe)

I think you missed what i wanted. I want to say click somewhere on map and the helicopter would land there.....

You can do that with the onMapSingleClick command. Like this:

onMapSingleClick "heli move _pos";

Read that page for further information. It also explains how to disable any further map click actions. You can keep resetting the chopper's waypoint all the time unless you disable it.

Would that command work with CWC or just resistance ?

It was only added in patch 1.85, so you'll need OFP:Resistance / GOTY edition.
