Hello Namo

I am not really experienced yet but I use a simple solution for the reinforcements that I want to call in by radio:

I create the reinforcements and set Waypoints for them
A waypoint close to where they are and one leading them to where they should go after calling them in.

Then I create a trigger, Activated by radio channel of choice (say radio alpha), after which I synchronize that trigger with the first WP.

Now they do not move to their next waypoint untill you call em in on the radio (in this case 0-0-1 for alpha)

Dunno if this is what you mean.

MadFred, you forgot your attachment  

Also, the trigger needs to be type switch.     If you search the forums you will find buckets of advice on this.

Editors Depot - Tutorials - Getting Started - Mission Editor

There you will find everything you need, and much more  

There is an example of a chopper being called in as air support - exactly the same principle as what you are asking - in the Tutorial Mission in Getting Started - Simple example missions

My own Macguba's guide to mission editing for beginners, in Getting Started - First Steps, has some tips on synchro if you need them, but one of the Mission Editor tutes will probably give you a lot more detail.

I'm reading yours now..
