choopers, reinforcment, cargo and so on.

[satchmo]

Hi im making a mission on the drang valley map. It's type Lz Xray, see the movie We were soldiers and you know what hell looks like.
And i've searched for a script that makes the heli's come and go alla the time.

1. Heli stayes on ground until i board. (always last in)
2. 4 choopers takes off, from same base. 4 ai ones.
3. Chooper lands and units get outs fast, the heli takes of and returns to base.
4. A new platoon of soldiers board the chooper and the chooper go to lz again. And so on.
5. 1 chooper waiting on standy by to bring a ammo crate to LZ.


Im not gonna have like the whole american army out there. What i want is 4 plutoons with me. And when there are casualties, reinforcment arrives (point 4).
So at 90% of the time there gonna be 4 plutoons at the lz with more waypoints, yes we gonna take a hill. So we land. All is quiet, we move out into the bush. About 100 meters in the vc starts shooting at us. Either we stand and fight or fall back to lz. In either case we gonna have dead soldiers.
We hear or see choopers comming in, shooting at vc and bringing reinforcment with them. The reinforcment arrives and takes the positions of the dead soldiers. The fight goes on.
Do i need to say if 1 chooper gets shoot down, dont worry, if 2 gets shoot down, then you have a slight problem. If 3 get's shoot down, now we got a real problem here. 4 gets shoot down, no reinforcemnt arriives.

So this mission is gonna be hard couse you have to wait for reinforcment all the time. The base and LZ is about 4000 meters apart. The vc base is only like 500.


So the script's i need.

1. Napalm and bombardment. (done)
2. Reinforcment. (Have script's but want to hear from the experienced one witch one to use.)
3. The chooper script. (Have couple one but not working like i want to, dont wanna start flying, need to fly fast and land + airlift fast.)
4. Respawn script for vc.
5. 1 chooper waiting on standy by to bring a ammo crate to LZ. (Have script's but want to hear from the experienced one witch one to use.)
6. Vc reinforcment stopps respawning when you reach the hill and.


So can annyone help me to fullfill my dreams and hopes about this mission.
I cant script, i've begun to read the faq's about it.
Ive tested almost all your scripts on this page that i can have use for, and a couple of others. And all need editing or completly new ones.
So that's why im asking for help.

All sugestion and ideas gratefully accepted.

When you have a choice of scripts why not just try them all and use the one you like best?    Your opinion is better than anyone else's since it is your mission.

6. is easy, you just need a trigger covering the hill, activation west present or whatever.     The trigger sets a variable to true.    The respawn script in 4. checks to see if the variable is true every time it loops, and if it is true then the script exits.

Hi satchmo

As you may know if you have played Bagel's tour of duty mission some of this is available via Spinor's Command Engine.

It is an area we concentrate on at the CoC.

We are also developing a sytem for logistics and reinforcement if you would like to contact BN880 at The Chain of Command forum via a PM he may be able to help.

From your decription of 4 platoons (an Air Cav company of about 120 soldiers) I presume you are using some kind of command interface similar to the Command Engine or indeed the command engine it self.

I my self have a modern Air Cav light battalion mission to invade Nogova in the making and Abomb is working on one for Kolgujev.

I hope to make the ORBAT available in CE2 v1.22 format so others can use it for their missions.

As I said please feel free to contact us at CoC.

Kind Regards Walker
