Helicopter Boarding Woes

[virgin4life]

Hello there guys I need a bit of help please with boarding of those pesky Choppers.

I know how to get units to board the chopper after it comes in and lands, but what I want to do is have the chopper start off on the ground and -not- move until a group gets in it.

Is there any way for me to do that?

Remove all fuel from the chopper.Name the people that must be in the chopper guy1, guy2, etc, name the chopper "chopper" and make a trigger.Type in the condition field "Guy1 in chopper AND guy2 in chopper AND guy3 in chopper", etc.Type in activation field "chopper setfuel 1" This is only good for the start of mission, as if someone dies the chopper will never take off.If it isnt the start, i think this will work for the condition:
(Guy1 IN Chopper OR !Alive Guy1) AND (Guy2 IN chopper OR !Alive Guy2) AND (GUY3 IN Chopper OR !ALIVE GUY3), etc

Typed what you said...

(Guy1 IN chopper OR !Alive Guy1) AND (Guy2  etc

And got the error , type string expected bool??

Any simpiler way?

you just need to remove the quotation marks, like this

Guy1 in chopper AND guy2 in chopper AND guy3 in chopper

You can also create an oval shaped trigger over the chopper then associate it with your group and set it for group present. On activation set your fuel and away you go. When I get to the other machine I'll post a sample mission for you. This is a really simple solution.

or even easier..

take away all fuel from the heli..

name the heli "h1"

make a get in WP on the "h1" heli for the group you want to board..

in the get in on activation field type

h1 setfuel 1

0 is obviously no fuel..

but it works for your whole group..

Hey Mike. I just tried your method and, right you are. It's easy and effective. That's why I butt my face into these things occasionally. So someone like you can show me a better way.
