Title: Helicopters
Post by: General Goober on 05 Feb 2003, 12:07:37

I need help please with this scenerio.

I want a helicopter to be stationary somewhere out of the way. Roters not going.  I want a trigger set up to activate the chopper and take it to where the action is.

I have found that having the chopper waiting in the air is a dead given away to other players.  Everyone can here it.  I only want it active when an event triggers it.

I have tried this command, heli1 land "LAND" and have found that the chopper will not respond to the move to the next waypoint.  Would appreciate any help with this problem thankyou.

place a helo by: empty/air/helo, place to pilots nearby and let them get in by trigger and fly to your next waypoint.

You should give two pilots a hold WP and setcaptive them. When your trigger activates, just moveindriver/gunner the two of them in da chopper, switch cancel the hold WP and deactivate the setcaptive.

ChildÂ's play, if you know what all those commands is for. if not, contact me via instant message.

Strange... Never tested that but it should work. Are you sure that youÂ've written the command correct?
