Get out of my sight... chopper!!!
« on: 25 Jun 2003, 23:57:41 »
Hi guys.
I have a problem witch air support.... agin. In my mission i have two cobra choppers aviable on request - this works good  :)
but....
this choppers join player's group and when player calls extraction they should leave his group and get back to base.
I used something like that :
 
[airspt1, airspt2] join grpNull
 units group airspt2 join airspt1
 airspt1 sidechat "Alpha 1 this is November 1. We are going home. Over."
 airspt1 DoMove getmarkerpos base
 airspt2 DoMove getmarkerpos base


And this choppers just landing here where they are. :-\
Why ???

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

Use the unitnames, not the group name to join grpnull. I never heard of a group joining a grpnull all at once. If the helo is named helo1, then use-
[helo1d,helo1g] join grpnull. The 'd' & 'g' are for driver and gunner respectively. Get the idear ? Rejoin them to each other the same way.
[helo1g] join helo1d; helo1d move getmarkerpos blah blah....

Hey Chrash... i do everything just like you said but choppers still land near my position and pilots go back to base on foot...  :o
I assign pilots to choppers later, should i reassign them agin to choppers when they leave player group????

It may be best if the 2 cobras are not part of the players group. I don't know how your mission is setup, so I don't have enough info to make a recommendation. In the missions that come with the game, air support is never grouped to the player as I remember.
