Title: (SOLVED) Detecting when helo has landed
Post by: Carroll on 21 Apr 2008, 10:29:47

Hi, is there a way to detect whether my chopper has landed?

I am making a medivac mission where i have to board a chopper, then go an pick up some injured soldiers. However i must stay in the pilots seat. I just need to detect when i have touched down at the pickup so i can trigger the cut scene that will show the field medics & casualties boarding the chopper.

* i can make a trigger activate if i disembark & walk around using condition:

Code: [Select]

this && "Land" countType thisList > 0;
however i dont wanna disembark so is there another way to detect if just the chopper has touched down in the trigger area?

Try this (untested):

1. Give your chopper a name: (e.g. med1)
2. Use the following trigger condition:

Code: [Select]

med1 in ThisList && ((getPos med1 select 2) < 1)
You may need to tweak the height.
