join a squad + enter heli
« on: 19 Mar 2003, 11:53:10 »
I had this question a long time, but now I reach about my 3rd missions where I need it answered  ;) I decided to ask.

You start in a base, alone, you're not in a team. The team you are supposed to join is in a heli (with the moveincargo command) that is gonna pick you up. I just want you to get in the heli, the heli will fly away and you join up with the team, or maybe when you enter the heli. Anyway, you just need to be with the team before the heli reaches it's 3rd waypoint (which is an eject wp)
The team mustn't exit the heli or it won't look very good I think  :-\ and it's too much of a hassle that way.

Anyone know how to do it?
Thnx in advance

The heli and its crew have all their waypoints, which is good.    Get the squad into the chopper, but give all the subsequent squad waypoints to the player, who is presumably going to be the squad leader.    At some point in the chopper journey, have something like this in a script or trigger

"[_x] join Player1" foreach units Squad1

syntax almost certainly wrong, but you get the picture.   If the player is not the squad leader its even easier, you just make him join the squad.

I'd suggest a bit of titletext or radio chatter to explain the join.

Hope that helps :)
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

Cool, I will play around with the syntax a little ;) and the player was supposed to join the squad, and not be leader

thnx

*EDIT* wow, your syntax was good  :D
