Title: helo's pausing at waypoint after cargo ejects
Post by: rgbman on 01 Feb 2003, 23:05:24

When a group of soldiers eject from a helo, the helo is pausing at the waypoint where the soldiers bailed out and not advancing to the final, landing waypoint.  Anyone know why this is happening?

I'm using a modified parachute.sqs script:

; Original OFP parachute script modified by Rick on Jan-30-03

_helo = _This Select 0
_group = _This Select 1


"unassignvehicle _x" foreach units _group

_aunits = units _group
_i = 0
_j = count _aunits

#Here
?(_aunits select _i)!=player : (_aunits select _i) action ["EJECT",_helo]
_i=_i+1
~0.5
?_j>_i:goto "Here"

exit

dunno  :-\  just try like this the heli could be hanging around waiting for the units, have you synchronised any of the waypoints for the heli btw?

That fixed the problem, thank you!

For the record, I do sync the troops to the heli at the get-in/load waypoint.

Was the group remaining assigned as cargo because they hadn't ejected yet?

It's strange because the original parachute.sqs script i used came from the Chinook mission in OFP:CWC, but in that case the player is piloting the helo, not AI.  Oops.

Thanks again for the help.  I was beginning to wonder :)
