Does anybody know how to achieve the following:

Helo comes in to land and pilots get out.  Once landed, refuel truck automatically drives to the helo's position and stays there a while, helo refuels.
Pilots board helo and refuel truck drives back to its "waiting" position.
Helo then takes off and leaves.

This then repeats many times, ie helo comes back again a bit later, lands, gets refuelled, leaves again.

I know how to do the helo stuff, ie coming in to land pilots getting out and all that, I just don't know how to do the refuel truck stuff.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Give the fuel truck an appropriate set of waypoints, ending with CYCLE.

You will need switch triggers or variables in the condition field of the truck's waypoints to get him to move on at the right time.

There is a command which allows you to move waypoints, I think it's setwaypointpos or something.

And you will need a little script or trigger to move the "refuel" waypoint next to the chopper.  
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

Pliskin, that would be great, just click reply as per normal and you'll see a field at the bottom called attach.
Click browse to select the file from your PC and click open.
