BAS_BLACKHAWK FASTROPE scripting

[Snake Pliskin]

Hello all some of you may have seen this topic before on another page so if you would bear with me Im new to scripting and for about a week Iv been trying to get this to work but have had no luck what so ever so Ill tell you what Im trying to do and if somone can tell me how to do it Id really appeciate the help

from the mission editer Im  trying to have a BAS_blackhawk
fly in and pick up a group of delta operaters fly off to another way point where delta operaters fast rope from the blackhawk and each go their seperate ways

Iv kept the blk hwk CHOPPER as Im only have one which I named CHOPPER caps as the code reads in the unit name field  in the unit editer Iv done the same for the opraters
which I named grp1which I did in the unit editer nameing the leader grp1  

I set the waypoints for both units as usual to meet
CHOPER LOAD & grp1 get im they both do this but once the blkhwk loads and they are getting ready to fly off to the waypoint where they are to fast rope out I get a message box that reads
script CHOPPER not found
or script grp1 not found
or unknown operater
and no matter which it reads up in the top left hand sid of the screen it reads "exe #"\BAS_mah60\fx\BAS_AIRope.sqs"error unknown operater

now when Iwrite the script Iv headed the waypoint top header scripted Iv put the script for the action on the bottem were it says script IV also tried puting it in the actvation field Iv tried doing it several ways but with no luck

if anyone can help me with this Id really appeciate it

                                       thanks again  snake

No no no this is a double post.    All replies here please.

Snake, if you feel your question is not being answered on one board and you think it might do better on another board, just IM one of the moderators who will be happy to move it for you if thats appropriate.    In fact the most of the folk who look at this board look at the general one too so you're unlikely to gain a better response here.

Since your post here does give more details on the problem I recommend you repost it on your original thread.    

I know BAS and they don't put out stuff that doesn't work, so the problem is in something that you are doing.     Read (or re-read) snYpir's excellent Friendly Intro to Code Snippets and also Johan Gustafsson's Scripting Tutorial.      Naming a group leader doesn't name the group, you must type this in the init field of the group leader:-

grp1 = group this

I suspect what's going wrong is one of these really daft basic things which, if you know is obvious but if you don't know it you'll never guess.   Which is why I suspect that going back to first principles in these classic tutorials and going over stuff like how to call a script may help.       Also re-read the readme really really carefully and make sure you understand every word.

Sure thats not a problim .I dident mean for anyone to think I was saying that the mod was defective in fact BAS_ and the other outstanding  mod work Iv seen is what got me  to play this game again after so long . What  I ment was  is this a feature that for an average mission maker is just to complicated to set up in a mission  . thats all .Im new at scripting and  your right about needing to look at the work you mentioned I just needed to know where to look and a litle help as far as the multiple topic you can leave the one you think explanes my situation best and deleat the other
and again I don't want any misunderstanding about what I said I think the mods BAS_ BUILD ARE TOP SHELF  I wish I had the ability to make stuff that cool. again all the mod makers are the reason I got interested in this game again so thanks to all who take the time to make stuff to make a cool game a great game  !!!
by the way Im a tactical firearms instructer and if anyone needs  any help or has questions on specs for light weapons I be glad to help

                                          sorry for the misunderstanding

                                            thanks again Snake
