Title: onMapSingleClick help
Post by: Meatball0311 on 17 Dec 2005, 09:09:01

This is what I want to do, I want to click on the map and have a helo fly to that pos and perform an action (lets say land).  I have looked and even did a search, cant find a thing about SP onMapSingleClick.  I need to know what to put into the script and where to put it.

first port of call concerning commands in flashpoint should always be the comref (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/comref.php?letter=O#onMapSingleClick). plenty of help there ;)

I know and I looked, but really what I need help in is where exactly do I put the information (trigger?, script?,......) I am new at doing major editing.

In general you can put commands anywhere - script file, trigger, waypoint or init field.    (There are a few exceptions.)    This command is tricky and although it will technically work elsewhere, it's usually best to put it in a script.

Before you start messing with it, write a script that makes a chopper fly to a known point and land.   Only when that is working smoothely should you expand it to cope with onMapSingleClick.
