Making a helo land without a waypoint
« on: 18 Nov 2003, 03:42:09 »
I need some help with making a helo "return to base"  and land without using a waypoint. I figured out to add a helo to your group through a radio call (used for pickup purposes) and when i am done, sending the unit back to base. After that I need it to land, i have an invisible H on flat ground and i tell it to land when it gets there (helo land "land";) but still no land... i can't seem to find anything that would help me... if anybody can help it would appreciated.

Make sure you are using the actual name of the helicopter itself, not the pilots name.

If you're stumped, you can always make the chopper slow down and then force it to land by telling it to flyinheight 0.

I'm not sure that:
Code: [Select]
ChopperName FlyInHeight 0will work...

Just use:
Code: [Select]
ChopperName Land "Land"

The main problem is the radio calls to make a unit join a group only works on people not units.... for instance
             [chopper] join player;
will make the helo part of your group but when you tell him to go somewhere he give the old can't move there
            [pilot1, pilot2] join player;
i have full control of the unit no probs

to make the unit leave the group i  tried  to use
            [chopper] join bye;
it worked in its on mission but i can't get it to work in another mission so i have to use
        [pilot1, pilot2] join pilot3; (pilot3 is just another guy i preloaded into the choper)
again works with no prob....

so if i can just make it so when pilot1 and pilot2 join pilot3 they all along with the chopper return to base and land an open helo pad....
