I just looked at it in CHOFPSE and it is something like

?soldier1 in_heli : goto "in"

Maybe check if the person is in the vehicle, not in cargo. Maybe your not specifing the vehicle so that's why it isn't working.

Not totally sure :-\

ok i used

?soldier1 in _chopper: goto"in"

but it didnt wait until the soldier was in the chopper, it just did it as the leader says to get in it.

any ideas? anyone

cheers, philly

Another shot in the dark without NVGs... :P

Howsabout a double arguement.

?soldier1 in_chopper && ?soldier1 incargo_chopper :goto "in"

Maybe, I've forgotten what and is, gawd I'm tired, anyways I've haven't been writing scripts lately so....
I was thinking you could do what you did originally and add another arguement to see when the soldier is actually in the chopper not ordered.  :-\

errm - lots of shots in the dark here  ::)  :D

how about:

?soldier1 in name_of_chopper: goto "in"

or how about:

?vehicle soldier1 == name_of_chopper: goto "in"

or:

?vehicle soldier1 == name_of_chopper AND soldier1 != driver name_of_chopper AND soldier1 != gunner name_of_chopper

or:

?vehicle soldier1 != soldier1: goto "in"

:note - the last one you should use only in case if you're sure
that soldier1 is only able to board that one chopper and nothing
else.

How about:

@ soldier1 in _chopper : goto "in"

If that works I'll eat your brains as penalty for noobiness. ;D

As ever i have a better way  ;D

This will work for any chopper in the game: (hell it'll even work for planes ;) )

Code: [Select]

? "Air" counttype [vehicle soldier1] == 1 :  goto "in"

or use:

Code: [Select]

? "Helicopter" counttype [vehicle soldier1] == 1 :  goto "in"

if u strictly want it to be choppers.

EDIT:
Modified because mr. Death is right, i should have read more carefully & checked my coding for stupid mistakes ;)

 ::) there are so many spell to pick that you could use belt AND braces, hehe  ;D

condition:
?bob in Air1 AND ((vehicle bob) !=bob)

Yeah, but u ppl all asume 1 thing, that he knows wich chopper the player will end up in, wich doesn't have to be the case ofcourse.

@MachoMan;

first:

@anything: do anything

doesn't work

?anything: do anything

does work

second:

Philly was asking for a command to check if soldier1 is in
the chopper - which makes me feel he's been talking
about an specific chopper.

However, if you replace your @ by an ? the condition should
work too (except: soldier1 is not the player).

@BMOT  ;D - if bob is in air1 then his vehicle isn't worth to
be compared, wether it's him or not - it isn't for sure then.
Except: air1 is an array, but why would you use it to check
then anywayz.
