has anyone added this to the MH-6 Little Bird? I would love to be able to fast rope off of those.

Sorry, I was up late, and had been fighting this for some time. Within seconds of looking at your post I figured out why I couldn't get it working. if (d_enemy_side == "EAST") then { Why did they change it from where West = to enemy side = east? I kept looking over that because as I skimmed it, it said East! That frustrated me to the point I had a few beers and was up until 4 am goofing with it. Thanks, it is all working now!

Another interesting bit. I have added 3 more helicopters through the mission editor. 2 littlebird gunships and an Apache. The littlbirds I want to respawn, so I assigned them the names ch7 and ch8 in the editor, then added them to d_chopper in i_client and init, but I can't get them to respawn. If I switch their names ch7 and ch8 with the 2 from the littlebird transports (ch5, ch6) and the gunships will respawn, but the littlebird transports won't. Am I missing something here where ch7 and ch8 should be listed? Is there a cutoff in the amount of respawning choppers you can have? I am using co@30_Domination_2_54A2_West_AI_ACE_OA.Takistan as my basis. I can get HUMMWs to all respawn (4 of them) but these choppers seem to be a bigger problem.

Looks like that is the correct direction. I am running ACE OA, but it looks like it is using just the OA string for some reason. I just copied them from the ACE line to the OA line and they work now. Everything says I am running ACE, so not sure why that isn't working correctly. Thanks guys.

Sorry, I should have been more clear, but I had to run. Through the mission editor I added them to the map. I would like them to act as bonus vehicles, where we get them to start, but have to fix the wrecks, so no respawn. So I can see them added in mission.sqm as: ACE_Stryker_ICV_MK19_SLAT, ACE_Stryker_ICV_M2_SLAT. From what I understand, the wrecks that the wreck chopper can pick up are the in mt_bonus_vehicle_array and sm_bonus_vehicle_array, which those two vehicles are. But if I destroy them, I cannot pick them up with the chopper. Everything else I have added, Bradleys, Little bird gunships, HUMMWs work fine. I am just clueless as to why the Strykers wouldnt work, they are already listed.

I have added the ace strykers to co@30_Domination_2_54A3_West_AI_ACE_OA.Takistan, and I can see them in the wreck lift script, but for some reason I cannot lift any of them. I can lift the Bradley's and HUMMW that I have added, but nothing for the Strykers. Any ideas?
