in init.sqf

Code: [Select]

player addEventHandler ["Fired", {_this execVM "thrown.sqf"}];
thrown.sqf

Code: [Select]

_weapon = _this select 0;

if (_weapon == "Thrown") then
{
_shell = _this select 4;

waitUntil { (ceil(speed _shell))<=1};
_ShellPos = getPos _shell;
//Helo1 = the name of the helicopter you want to move to the position.
[[Helo1, _ShellPos]] execVM "helo_move.sqf";
};


helo_move.sqf

Code: [Select]

_helo = _this select 0;
_pos = _this select 1;

_helo doMove _pos;

waitUntil { ((_helo distance_pos) <= 6) };
_helo land "LAND";

Not sure if this will work correctly, but I think it should.
