Heli Problems... Im a newbee please help me out

[Tomminty]

Hi,

I have just started making missions so please be kind! At the end of a mission i want to call in a chopper for extraction. I have a load WP for the chopper with with the land and getin code so it waits for my group. I have attached the radio trigger to the WP but when the radio is activated the dam chopped dosnt come in. Can anyone help with the probably stupid greenhorn mistake!

Thanks

Greetings,

I'm sure a quick search of the forum would reveal the answer, but still...

Put a "MOVE" waypoint before the load waypoint. put it some distance away, and sinchronise that to your trigger. Put a "GET IN" waypoint for the troops and sinchronise with the "load" waypoint.

The chopper will go to the move wp, and wait there for the trigger to be activated. Then it will go to the load wp, and the troops will get in. After that, it will continue on the wp path.

Hope it helps,

Welcome to the forum!

And you're right, it is a goo forum ... you only use it once, then you get stuck here forever.

you only use it once, then you get stuck here forever.

This makes me suspicious about the caffine or nicotine content of OFPEC. How much do you get in the avarage slice of OFPEC? Is it psychologically or physiologically addictive? Can you get arm patches or tablets if you want to give it up?  

But, yes, Forum searches tend to be unreliable, so you don't always find what you're looking for. That's why it's useful to say that you searched when you post a question, to stop self-righteous ppl like me putting things like "I'm sure a quick search of the forum would reveal the answer, but still..."

Next time, shoot me... :gunman:

im afraid just like smoking the best way to give up OFPEC is pure willpower and just like smoking you'll get severe withdrawel symtoms such as unreliable mood swings and you'll be sure to suffer sleep deprivation.
