    you have a few different options for this. One would be to look in this thread where i posted a script to get action menu to have unit join/leave group http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=78288

    other option would be to make a trigger of 1x1 or whatever size you want (note its in Meters) activated by your group, or any members present. To do that group the trigger to your group leader and change activation type.

    then in onactivation put 

    [rescuedunitname] join yourgroup;

    put this in your group leader init line

    nameyoulikeforgroup = group this;

    I really hope someone does create a wizard for this. I am sure eventually I'll get used to the setup of the new briefing, but the Arma Edit briefing wizard made things so much easier and since the script has to be an sqf anyway, I'll definitely be waiting for some word that someone creates a briefing wizard.

    Other than that, I will have to figure out this tskobj stuff and hope its tying in correctly.

    If i do add images to the file, do i have to specify them in the description.ext too or just have the jpg somewhere in the pbo?

    put the image in your missions\missionname folder. they are not specified in the description.ext file, but in the briefing script. use the old code way for adding the picture

    One way to do this is to have a script running in loop keeping a marker on the lead vehicle.

    create empty marker named cmark, name lead convoy vehicle convoyldr and in your trigger onactivation of trigger put: 

    cmark = ["markername",leadvehiclename] execVM "convoymarker.sqf";

    then in notepad or other text editor add the following and save file as convoymarker.sqf (make sure file extension is changed to the .sqf) and put file in your mission folder

    _mark = _this select 0;
_cveh = _this select 1;

_mark setmarkertype "dot";

While {alive _cveh} do {
_mark setmarkerpos (getpos _cveh);
sleep 1;
};
if (true) exitwith {player sidechat "Lead vehicle Destroyed"; _mark setmarkertype "empty";};

    Now I just whipped that up so it may be buggy (typo) but should work.

    But things as respawn points (which are markers with specific names i believe) are to be scripted in this description.ext? these commands cannot be added/altered from within the editor? i did not find a text editor in the editor

    That is correct. Markers are required for respawn at BASE, but there is also instant, group, ect. Check the links i gave you. They will explain it in more detail. This is the life of mission editing, which is why i run my game in window mode. And I know you may ask so here is a link for startup parameters and an explanation. It is for ArmA but most/all work for ArmA2 Startup Parameters

    Ok. Heres what your going to do. Create a new TEST mission on UTES. Just place a player unit and save as 

    load_unload_veh

    then open the mission.sqm file with notepad and delete do ctrl A (select all) and delete. Notepad should be blank now. Copy this code and paste in notepad and save. open mission up and should be the test one i made.run it and watch. then study it. There are many ways to do this, this is a basic one.

    Is the player grouped with the heli? Actually, even grouped it works, just if you're the leader the heli starts where you were instead of where you placed it.

    If you place a Rifleman someone on the island, and put player moveincargo [plane1,1]; in it's init field, then you place an MH-60S (flying!) over the water somewhere and call it plane1 and Preview your mission, your rifleman will end up in the backseat of the heli.

    best to use THIS instead of player... just incase that unit is not player.

    To activate this script would i place a trigger with the code posted above nul=[position,"classname",dir] execVM "dropspawn.sqf"; however what parameters should i use for the classname and dir (obviously for the position i can just use a marker or game logic location)?

    using a trigger activated by anybody or the specific blufor side being present is fine depending on mission. classname would be the what the aircraft is called ingame. For example the MV-22 Osprey classname is "MV22". for dir you could just put a number from 0 to 360 is what it looks like.
