err this seems a bit vague, you dont mean using waypoints do you? If so give the helo a LOAD waypoint and give your squad a GETIN way point and then syncronise these two together (F5), drag them together with the blue line.

usually with the BAS choppers if the chopper is AI the player can request exfil via the action menu, its pretty cool, requesting ladder exfil when your on a roof

You gyz were pretty close :)

Okay, you can do this two ways. First is to group the chopper to the player and then the actions in the action menu will appear.

The second is a bit harder. First make a chopper and name it soar_loons1. Then make the player have a waypoint where you want the pick up to be. In the
Code: [Select]
On Activation: line of the waypoint copy the line out of the BAS readme. You should now have something like this:
Code: [Select]
On Activation: CHOPPER exec "\bas_soar\fx\aipickup.sqs"The last part in quotes doesn't matter. If its different I typed it wrong. What you do need to change is the CHOPPER part. Type in
Code: [Select]
soar_loons1. Then play the mission and when you reach tat waypoint the chopper will come for you.

can i have the chopper reach a special wp after i triggered it via a radio call? I don't want to have the chopper grouped  :P
the desert troops  will run around shoot some rebels then call for extraction, nothing advanced really then sitting onboard when the mission ends when the chopper reaches a airbase or a LST ship  ;D

yes, you could all you have to do is follow what I previously posted, changing the WP to a radio trigger.

First make a chopper and name it soar_loons1. Then make the player have a waypoint where you want the pick up to be. In the
Code: [Select]
On Activation: line of the waypoint copy the line out of the BAS readme. You should now have something like this:
Code: [Select]
On Activation: CHOPPER exec "\bas_soar\fx\aipickup.sqs"The last part in quotes doesn't matter. If its different I typed it wrong. What you do need to change is the CHOPPER part. Type in
