Title: Help with pilot script plz
Post by: CptBravo on 06 Oct 2002, 18:59:54

Hi,
I'm new to OFP and I am learning (attempting anyway) to learn about scripting.

I am trying to get a pilot to move into heli as soon as his base is attacked. I have tried using:  UnitName moveindriver VehicleName. It won't let me change the driver into pilot though! SO is there another command for moving pilots into empty choppers??

Thanks

Ah, what are you talking about?

If you do

UnitName MoveInDriver VehicleName

and VehicleName is the name of an empty helo he will become the pilot.

as for the part about moves to chopper when dudes attack use a trigger set to east/west detected by otherside.in the triggers init: put->    dudesname moveindriver "choppername"
oh and set trigger size to cover all ur dudes and out to a distance u want em to be able to detect enemy IE:500-600 yrds out around ur base. ;D then he wont go to chopper till enemy attacks but will still do whatever u want till trigger is setoff
