Sync a Unit move order with a Helicopter?

[meade95 0]

I'm trying to create an extraction, where when my team reaches a certain point...an AI helicopter will fly to my area.

Doesn't seem to work.

I give my team a waypoint.......I then sync that waypoint with the first waypoint for the AI helicopter (thus, meaning when my team enters this waypoint, AI helicopter should begin its waypoint move?, correct?).

It works great, for INFIL operations. Having an AI helicopter inserting my team....but it won't work in reverse? (Or is sync two waypoints that are great distances apart, not going to work?).

This is what you need to do:

Triggers:

1. Activation Trigger which activates when the BLUFOR infantry arrive
   

Infantry Waypoints:

1. "GET IN" Waypoint located inside the trigger area
   

Helicopter Waypoints:

1. "MOVE" Waypoint RIGHT next to where it starts
   
2. "LOAD" waypoint inside the trigger area
   

Next, using the Synchronise Tool, drag a line between the Trigger and the Helicopter's "MOVE" waypoint.

This will make it so that only when both the "MOVE" waypoint and the trigger have been activated, the helicopter will move onto the next waypoint. By placing the "MOVE" waypoint right next to where the helicopter starts we make sure that that waypoint is immediately activated. We then wait for the trigger to be activated. When it is, the Helicopter will move in for extraction.

I will do this when I get home later today - Thanks - I need to start using the "trigger" event aspects more (getting more comfortable with the layout of triggers).

I was tryng to sync the two move orders (which seems to work fine, when in CLOSE proximity.....but not so much over long distances).
