Enemy Helix Transport

Has any one have problems getting these choppers to follow way points.
I can't get them to do any thing but, go in circles

In the Helix "Item Attributes" set the "AI Variable" - "AI Textfile" to "Heli-Hokum"

If that doesn't work then if I had the waypoint markers (I set five) to far a part the Helix kept going aorund in the circle around the third one. I had the first marker far from the rest then in a turn set these closer together - then the last one was off in the distance. The Helix followed them correctly then stopped at the last one like its suppose to.

I'm guessing at this point that setting the "AI Variable" is the key to it. Try that first and see.

Ok, I'll give it a try

Ok, after playing with it. The only way I can get them to do what I want them to do is to set each one on it's own way point. Thats the only thing thats seems to work. So I have to enemy choppers come in behind the base and unload an invasion. this is so cool.

Zak, I still need help placing a rip. The rig is in parts. how do I place each part. I just think that was dump. make 2 or 3 rigs. all one part

they would be easy'er to place them

Sometimes thats what it takes, experiment. I didn't realize you were using more then one chopper - which I can see now would have made a difference as to how they operate. Glad to see you got it anyway.

The Oil rig your talking about - it this the Crane?

If you set one rig up on the map - you can copy and paste the rest provided you set them on perfectly flat ground.

Ok, any way the choppers worked for 10 mins and now I have the same proble again and a new problem

I will be setting a new topic for that one. This map is going to be a hard one.

Thanks

Charger, Just to let you know. I can't get it to work, I took most of my work out. and it still doesn't work

The 1 chopper won't follow the wp as 2 choppers don't

I mite have to put this map on hold

**Bigjoe11a** · 09-28-2006, 04:22 PM

well I don't know what else to try. this map is incomplete and remain that way for a day or two

Thanks for your help charger

Send me the mis if you want. I haven't been into C4 for a bit so I've forgotten a few things, I know it can be done. If not its cool.

Thanks Charger. I will. any way I do have it working. it just that they are very slow moving choppers. I think the problem I had was speed. I adjusted they speed lower that that worked. It just that the 2 choppers should land in back of the base 30 sec. after group 17 is destroyed. Well it takes 2 mins or longer for them to get there. See I have 2 objectives. The oil frater. and a patrol thats comes in after group 17 is destroyed. Just play around with it and let me know what you did.

Thanks
