<sigh> unloading player troops from heli's in co-op

[Lightning]

i have a mission with 2 human players, sniper and spotter - everything works perfectly bar 1 thing...

the mission begins with them deploying from a heli - if i start this multiplayer game with 1 player to test it, it works as it should, the heli lands, the 2 troops deploy and the heli flies away.

add a second player, and for some reason when the heli lands the second player (person not running the server) will not deploy automatically, they have to get out manually, at which point the heli continues on its merry way

i've tried this with snyper's heli landing script, and with normal "transport unload" waypoints, the outcome is the same (and yes, i did have the "server" game logic in place when using snypers script ).

can anyone suggest how i get the non AI player to disembark? what am i missing?  :'( short of forcing them to eject from the heli, i'm at a complete loss here

this is a bug in the code. live players don't report to other ai units in the group that they have left the vehicle so the AI still think they are waiting for someone

Just have a script/trigger ejecting them after the chopper is below 2m height. Also prevents ai from being stuck in the vehicle (sometimes its impossible to order them out).
