chopper waypoint help

[Roe-31stMEU- 10]

Hey all, I would like to get my enemy AI chopper to fly over the AO and eject out some enemy troops as a kind of reinforcement. I'd like the chopper to just fly over while the enemy parachute out. I am trying to get the chopper to wait until a trigger is set-off before it begins it's waypoints. I have the trigger set chopper = true and in the condition field of the first waypoint, I have set chopper.

If my thinking was correct, I'd say that once the trigger was activated and Chopper became true, then the chopper should begin it's waypoints correct? Not happening for me though, so can anyone help explain this better to me please? Thanks

Since the helicopter and its cargo is just AI I would do it like this:

1) Give the chopper a name, e.g. helo1

2) In the initialization line of the chopper type: helo1 enableSimulation false

Make sure set the choppers "Special" field back to None or In Formation

3) When you want the chopper to start write in the onActivation line of the trigger: helo1 enableSimulation true

The enableSimulation command prevents that the target unit does anything, it's like the vehicle and its crew are in a coma.
