GomerPyle, tell us more about the problem.    At what stage does it go wrong?    What happens?       The more you tell us, the more we can tell you.

The author has basically included a tutorial already.    Are parts of it unclear?

Have you created and named the vehicles correctly and written

release1=1

in the on activation field of the appropriate trigger or waypoint?   Or is that part of the problem?

[GomerPyle]

Yes.

Everything is working as it should except the drop did not work.

I have:

heli called: ammosupport
ammocrate called: ammo
chute called: chute

Got this in the init of the heli:

[ammosupport, ammo, chute] exec "helidrop.sqs"

And i got a move waypoint with this in "On Activation" : release1=1

But it still wont drop the ammocrates...

Is there anything else i need?

PS: The place it fails is when the cargo/object should be dropped.....

[GomerPyle]

I was wondering about one thing.

Is the "release1" variable default to the heli on startup when you have this
[ammosupport, ammo, chute] exec "helidrop.sqs"
or do you need to set it to be a variable of that helicopter somewhere?

[GomerPyle]

I made it work. Had to use trigger. Could not be done the way it was described using a waypoint.......
