OK, you probably don't see what I'm talking about from the title. Basically, I have a helicopter coming to extract some troops. However (because there is an incoming group of enemy units) the helicopter started playing around or abandoning the pickup when it saw them. I managed to fix this by putting it on careless mode; that kind of thing doesn't alter the performance or appearence of the chopper, and in return it smoothly landed, let my squad in, and then left.
But the problem arises when I want the same from my squad. I've been watching too many movies and I have this picture in my mind of them guarding the pickup area and shooting at the enemies, then running into the chopper and making a last minute getaway. However, of course, the leader sends individuals out to attack rather than defend from the masses of approaching soldiers, and so the pickup gets stalled. What I want is a way of making them get in the aircraft without messing about, but of course this cannot be done on careless mode; unless I wanted them jogging about with their gun on their back as bullets zip past. Does anyone have an idea of what I could do?
