flyinheight and ForEach

[M_S_Holder]

I have a Real-time Stategy mission I've made for OFP.

My problem is that whenever I create a helicopter, I want to be able to set the pilot's flyinheight at different hieghts at different times.  For example, sometimes I want him at treetop level, and other times I want him really high.

Whenever I use the radio, this doesn't seem to work:

(_x flyinheight HHIEGHT) forEach (units group mygroup)

It does absolutely nothing.

Any Ideas?

How does setting the flyinheight on the units in your group supposed to change a helicopters height?  Flyinheight is for aircraft, not humans.

heliname flyinheight ##

is the correct syntax.

Well then my question is this:

The empty helicopter has no name, so how do I run a script to change the helicopters height whenever I need to?

[MI_Fred]

{(vehicle _x) flyInHeight HHIEGHT} forEach units someGroup

Funny but that variable looks like a typo  ;D Also try (driver(vehicle _x)), I never remember the correct one.

Did you place the empty helicopter using the mission editor.  If so, then just give a name in the name box.

If you used createvehicle then just use the variable name you used when you created it:

heliname = "uh60" createvehicle.....

heliname flyinheight xxx

Don't use a local variable for the heli name (_heliname) if you want to access it from another script or trigger.

I'll check it out this evening, thanks.

I created the Helicopter with createvehicle at my helicopter factory.  But since I have no real limit on how many I can create, I don't assign the helicopters any names.

I want to set a radio trigger to make any guys in my group that are  currently flying a helicopter go to a certain altitude.  That's why I need a FOREACH.  Now I understand that not all of my men will flying a helicopter, but the FLYINHEIGHT shouldn't affect them.

Oh, in that case just do this:

{(vehicle _x) flyinheight xxxx} foreach units group player

That will cover whatever aircraft they are in but have no effect otherwise.

Yes that works fine.
