Here are some important things to remember about landing a helicopter in Arma. 1. Make sure you place a landing pad object at the location you want to land otherwise the helicopter will go for a nearby pad or not land at all. To place a helipad, make sure you have created the player in the editor then create a new unit. Next in the insert unit window assign side to empty, class to Objects(Signs), and then select either Helipad (invisible) or (Square). Place this on the map where you want the helicopter to land. 2. You should name both the helicopter and the units you want to unload. To do this double click the unit to open the insert unit window and input a name in the name box. For example I named my helicopter "helo" and a solider as "Bob." 3. Next create a waypoint for the helicopter at the landing pad. Select Waypoints click on " helo" the helicopter then on the helipad you created. For this example you can leave the waypoint type as move. In the ON ACT.: box place the following text: helo land "get out"; This tells helo the helicopter to land at this waypoint. Note you can say "get in", "get out", or "land". Get in and Get out causes the helicopter to hover just above the ground so you can load or unload troops. Telling it to land will have the helicopter land and turn off its engines. 4. Now that we have the helicopter in the proper position we need to have Bob get out. To do this add the following into the ON ACT.: box after "helo land "get out"; Bob leaveVehicle helo; This code should get Bob to leave the helicopter. Keep in mind you will need to adjust the names if you name your helicopter and solider something other then "helo" and "Bob". Creating a group of soldiers and assigning the leader a name seems to work fine for loading and unloading groups. Make sure you have enough room in the vehicle as the base group size for soldiers is pretty large. The ON ACT.: box should now look like: helo land "get out"; Bob leaveVehicle helo; I'm sure there are other ways to do this but this works the best for me. Here you can find a list of scripting commands https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Scripting_Commands I have found some of these scripting commands work better then others and it takes some trial and error to get the desired results.
