Problems Embarking Troops to Mi-8MTV2

[Goldsmack]

So I have been playing around with the mission editor allot more today and there is one thing I still can't get to work, I have looked up tutorials, tried a 1000 different ways and I get the same result. Every time I try to set troops to embark on the player helo, they run around a bit usually not in the direction of the helicopter then stop and do nothing, I also notice I don't have the radio option to embark troops. Any advice would be greatly appreciated I'm still learning this mission editor and its allot different from say ArmA 3. Here are a couple photos to maybe help diagnose the issue.

 

btw was not sure if this post went in the Missions section or Belsimtek Mi-8MTV2 so apologies if its in the wrong place.

 

EDIT: I just noticed there is a mission builders sub forum...oops..

I'm not an expert on the embarking option but I know you have to at least specify the Vehicle Group in your "Embark to Transport" task. It may also help to check "Binding to Transport" and then select the specific helicopter in the drop down box.

For all I know the embarkation was scrapped back in December 2014. Anyone else better informed?

So it works for me

AFAIK, embarking bug has been corrected with the last patch released yesterday on the main branch of DCS.

 

I've tried a sample .miz, everything seems to work fine.

Well DANG! :thumbup:

Now the question is: Is it smart to make a full campaign utilizing this function or will it get scrapped again? Fool me once... ;)

I played around all night with the embark/disembark in different scenario s with both huey and hip. Works really well. Even emergency disembark works properly now :)

Thanks, Cibit!

Guess who's gonna play around all night tonight? :)

I modified the mission a bit... set the MI-8 to AI pilot but he always pick up the troops and immediately land again to disembark. I tried it also with a trigger but don't work.

There have i made an mistake?
