we were soldiers choppers moving b n forth

[Commando]

anyone seen the movie we were soldiers knows about the scenes where the choppers moves in and drops off soldiers and then flies back to base with woundead guys, then chopper flies back to the LZ and drops off more soldiers, im wondering it that could be done in a easy way with a simple script, or some waypoints or and triggers

Hey,

I saw the movie ;D. It's really good. I don't know about the wounded, but I did a mission where my squad entred a chopper and diembarked in the middle of the battle. The chopper flew back to base and took one more squad to the battlefield. After the battle was over the heli. came back and took first our squad back to the base and then the other one.

In total there were 3 choppers and 6 squads. It was fun ;D .

Ok, say you have a squad on the ground. You give them a waypoint get in, and then a second waypoint there where you want them to attack ( for example ) in the battllefield.
Now you put a blackhwk ( flying ) and a waypoint load ( i think ) and synchronize it with the get in waypoint. Next you give the waypoint for the chopper unload there where you want them to disembark.

Now to retreat them you do the same thing.

Hope I helped with my limited knowledge of editing

cheers

Yes you can do that basically with triggers and waypoints.   It's just a case of stringing together the individual bits that you want.   Or you could use a script, up to you really.

I strongly recommend you have a look round the chopper scripts and tutes in the Ed Depot in any event.

i've checked ed depot first thing i did but there is many choper scriopts but not the kind i want, i just need a a.i to fly back and forth dropping off and loading soldiers between a LZ and a base, but there is no such script avaible
only CAS , gunship , map click transport and stuff like that

I'd recommend snYpir's quick chopper script, which will help things run more smoothely.

The only problem I see is creating soldiers, in SP.  If anyone can present a solution to that, I'll have a go at writing a script, or making a simple file you can merge to your mission...

[Commando]

nah its not going to be sp, but i want a.i pilots 1 or 2 that would fly in a.i reinforcements groups into the lz and also fly out woundead players to the hq where the field hospital would be.

Hey guys i think i solved it! i will add the editor preview for you check it out.
it was very simple, the waypoint thingy where they stop for a few seconds is a bit low but its for mp so players will eject, get out by themselves anyways  ;D
