Helicopter waypoint

[JonHye 0]

I need to know how to make a helicopter be in search and destroy mode, when it reaches a variable "waypoint".

I have a no-fuel UH60-MG at my base. I have a squad of infantry, with the player as leader. I have the mission set up, so that the heli flies to the players location, when radio alpha is called. I don't want it to land when it reaches it's destination, but to fly around and "look" for the player sqaud. When the player throws a red smoke, the heli lands close to the smoke and picks up the squad. I've got the whole landing when smoke is thrown thing going fine, but I can't seem to make the chopper fly around the "radio call position" to "look" for the squad. It just flies past you and stops 4-700 meters away from the player.

I would very much like if the heli would act like it had reached a search and destroy waypoint, so it could fire at the russians I have arriving at the "radio call location".

Well how to do this best? Do I use the "heli move (getpos player)" way and somehow tell the heli to do more than just move and wait?

Or do I use some kind of " [heli,x] setwppos (getpos player)" where x is the waypoint number for the landing zone? I can partly make this work, but the heli is moving very fast, and passes me + when I throw the smoke, get in and take off, the heli really acts strange as to where it wants to go. ( When the heli takes off after picking up the player I have a "heli move (getpos base)" thing going (could possibly change that as well).

Any advice is welcome.

Thanx in advance!

Well! It seems I have hit a subject, no one knows anything about.

Nevermind I solved it myself.

What I did was make a nr. 0 waypoint which was of the search and destroy type. I started the heli without any fuel. I made the radio trigger fill the heli with fuel, and made a scriptwith something like:

[heli,1] setwppos (getpos player)

~10

@(unitready heli)

~300

heli move (getpos Base)

~10

@(unitready heli)

heli land "land"

That give you a chopper that flyes by a couple of times, and waits for about 5 minutes before returning to base. If you throw the red smoke, the chopper lands and picks you up ( but that is a whole different script).

well the only problem with it, is that you can only call the helicopter once. But that doesn't really matter that much.
