To those who wants a chopper to land using AI.

[Gumby]

This explanation was passed on to me from Knut Erik..  And since I saw alot of topics here concerning, the use of AI when landing a chopper..
I felt like passing on the wisdom.

So here it is..  
Combined with the use of waypoint..

Step 1: The init. field of the chopper ( name of the chopper is HELO)

this addaction ["land HELO","land.sqs"]

Step 2: Creating the script LAND.SQS. Place the script in the missionfolder.

:this is the script to make HELO land.

HELO land "land"

exit

Step 3: In the waypoint were you want HELO to land, type the following in the On Activation field.

[] exec "land.sqs"


Great thanks to LCD and Knut Erik for their assistance, solving my problem. Now it is time to share to the newbies. Enjoy!!!!!

:this is the script to make HELO land.

will propably give you an error of some sort.  should use ;  instead of  :

Step 1: The init. field of the chopper ( name of the chopper is HELO)

this addaction ["land HELO","land.sqs"]

I don't see the relevance of this addaction.

+ to make the usage more universal you might want to consider executing the script like this

[choppername] exec "land.sqs"

and adding in the script

_helo = _this select 0

and replacing HELO with _helo like this

_helo land "land"

Yes of course, a little topy error

regarding HElO. it was simple to state the facts that this slot is reserved for the choppername..

And another mistake with this little script is the acuracy. Havent figured that one out yet... Though I am trying, so feel free to share If you know how to combine the landing with a spot..

Somehow the chopper automaticaly lands at a certain spot, no matter what!!!
Fucking irritating.
