help with huey pickup mission in mission editor

[kpack]

Hello

 

does someone can post me a link for a tutorial for how to create a pick up mission.

 

i managed to create a mission where the AI huey gets a waypoint then land and pickup , and the AI soldiers get waypoint then embark.... that works fine . but as soon as i change the AI huey to player the AI soldiers wont embark :(

 

sry for my bad english

I'm trying to figure that out myself. I'm not sure how to get troops in my Huey or the AI AC, let alone disembark.

 

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I've setup a test and the troops will just not embark. So just read in a post that the troops will not indeed embark currently as BST has removed that feature due to it being buggy. This is what I have read regarding the first mission in Crazy Horse, which is unfortunate if true. I mean good grief, a Huey you can't pickup troops with??!!

 

Love the sim, but when I read that I was stunned. I mean every pic you see of a Huey in the '60s, 70s and 80s, has troops in it, landing at a hot LZ. Hope they fix that asap.

 

Oh well, on-ward and up-ward!

But isn't troop pickup a global DCS feature and thus under ED's responsibility, not BST's? Meaning there's nothing they can do but wait until ED reimplements it either...

Yes, you are correct. I meant DCS needs to fix that implementation, not BST...my bad.

 

Although, looks like the AI was able to pickup my troops...I guess that is better than nothing.

 

Good day!

You need to search for CTTS script. I don't know if it works anymore but worth trying. For animating troops embarking inside your cockpit, well, its ED's ball.

I was just going to suggest the same thing. It still works and makes the missions a whole lot better when you can pick up troops too!

I found that script and messed with the training mission...pretty cool!!

 

I just don't understand how to get it into one of my missions. Do I set an advanced action to the infantry, like embark at a waypoint, then hit the pulldown to select "script", then select the CTTS as the script?

 

If that is the case, is the script always active after that action or do I have to set another adv action to use the script so troops disembark?

 

I'm not understanding how to get the script running in the mission...and that thread isn't helpful with this info since it's like 50+pages or more.

 

Any input is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

1. I heard that troop pickup had been disabled. Has that feature been restored or not?

 

2. Will this affect the campaign also?

[fjacobsen]

I´m not sure if it has been enabled again.

But the latest open beta update has these entries:

 

April 09 update open-beta 1.2.16.38741

• Piston engine detonation physics introduced. Smoke (visual effect) and Increased deterioration are added.
  
• Crash on embarking troops reaching helicopter is fixed.
  
• All AA missiles. Added a prolongation target's trajectory when lock is broken. AA missile will not zeroizes assigned overload and go to straight flight, instead missile will fly to calculated intercept point.
  

So maybe it works again.

[dooom]

Ctts still works. Dr.. If you have team viewer, pm me and I can teach you with a screen share

What's Ctts?

[DrDetroit]

What's Ctts?

 

Complete Troop Transport Script (CTTS). It allows you to set troops for transport, so they get in and out of your chopper and your AIs chopper - also useful for setting spawn points for friendly and enemy AI, and setting dynamic pickup zone and drop zones. You could probably script a moderately dynamic campaign with this.

 

Anyhow, it's a very awesome script, and I can now probably complete the Crazy Horse campaign, once I add the script to it...if that's possible w/out breaking it. I'm going to try! Currently you can't finish the first mission because the troop simply will not get in your chopper.

 

Good day!

So the 1st mission does not use CTTS? Also when you complete your campaign, let me know.
