Question about ejecting units

[MythPro1]

How do i set up a certain trigger to have a group of units bail out of a chopper in mid-air?

Check out the editors depot for ejection scripts and other fancy scripts.

I used the eject script for choppers but if i'm not the group leader he orders everybody back into the chopper. How do i make him not do this because i want multiple choppers ejecting troops?

[icarus_uk]

Thats because the leader still thinks he is assigned to the chopper.

UnassignVehicle UnitName

Is the command you are looking for.  You can use it a number of ways.  Either in a trigger, WP or at the end of your ejection script.

You can either name each unit in the group a name and use the command however many times for each of the units in the group, or you can name the group (put;  GroupName = Group This    in the init of the leader) and use;

"UnassignVehicle _X" foreach units GroupName

Ok so what i figured i could do is after the script file has been typed i could type in the same WP: ;mygrp = group this; "unassignvehicle_x" foreach units mygrp
Would that do it?

Well, it should be possible to read all about it in the FAQ section, m8   but if it ain't, do this:


Name the grp.Leader BOB. Then name the chopper Bird1, right?!  
And in Bob's INIT field, put :

 "_x moveinCargo Bird1" foreach units this

And when they're supposed to bail, use this code in a WP or Trigger :

[Bob] exec "Bail.sqs"

And here's a copy of the most used bail scroll :

---------------------------------------------------

_aunits = units Bob
_i = 0
_j = count _aunits

#BailBoys

(_aunits select _i) action ["EJECT", Bird1]
unassignvehicle (_aunits select _i)
_i=_i+1
~0.75
?_j>_i:goto "BailBoys"

exit
----------------------------------------------------

The script will automatically unassing all the paratroopers.
And the next group leader, well... just name him Rob, make a new scroll,
change the names to Bird2 etc.  

Should do it, m8
