Group escort to extract

[Hellfish6.2]

Hi guys

I've run into a bit of a problem with a mission.

I'm trying to get a group of civillians being held captive to follow the player's unit once all the bad guys in the area have been killed. I don't want the civvies to join the player's group, necessarily, but I want them to follow the player to a pickup zone where they will be extracted to safety while the player remains behind for a secondary mission.

What I need to know is:

1. How do I get the civillians to follow the player once the enemy is dead?
2. How do I allow the player to call in an extraction helo for the civillians?
3. How do I make the civillians board that chopper?

1.  Trigger

Activation box:  East not present
On activation:   "_x doFollow aP" forEach units grpCiv

2.  Learn about switch triggers.   Use the forum search function, this comes up regularly.

3.  Read the chopper tutes in the Ed Depot, and search the forum again.    You might want to give the player a radio option to order the civvies into the chopper.   The radio will fire a trigger which in turn will call the little script that you need.   You could use a getin waypoint but I wouldn't recommend it in this case as the player is involved and things might go wrong.
