Title: Heli Landing troubles
Post by: Stinky_Cracker on 31 Jan 2003, 16:55:41

Hi my problem is that I want my sniper to be extracted from a certain point by an MH-60 and when the blackhawk reaches there he jsut hovers in the air??? Ive synchronzied all the waypoints and everything but he just wont land to pick up the sniper. I used the waypoint "load" for the MH-60 and "get in" for the sniper and synchronzied both of them, any ideas?

Try what Ottie said, but unsynchronize the Load and Get In waypoints.
