How to stop helo hovering for awhile?
« on: 02 Oct 2008, 11:34:27 »
Hi, I have a mission where the helicopter picks up a squad, but the waypoints are all set up, but the problem exactly is, the helo hover and delays for like a minute or so, it may be very annoying for player.

It hovers for a minute until it finally lands and the squad boards chopper. How can I fix this?

Thank you.   ???

 I use a "Speed Limited" WayPoint before the LZ and then use a "heloname flyinheight 3" WP. 

 That way if the chopper wants to hover for a while it is still low enough for my squad to get in. 

 I am sure that the "Last Days in Vietnam" campaign used a landing script with setdir or something but I dont know for sure.  I could use a good landing script but I am terrible at scripting.

Hey thanks for the response, I actually figured it out.  The captive had to reach their final waypoint in order for the chopper to act. So that's why it took so long and the chopper hovered, because I had a bit of scripting down to the waypoints..
