Late activation of static objects?

[Jacks]

I am trying to include a downed helo in the middle of a COIN mission I am designing. Is there anyway to have an AI or static helicopter such as a CH-53 spawn on the ground (in a field in NTTR) part way through a mission?

Thinking you will need to probably use mist and mist.dynAddStatic on a "do script" action. So you will need to figure out the vec 2 co-ordinates of the location you want to spawn it at plus the other stuff and on a trigger action put

do

mist.dynAddStatic blah blah

end

You will also need to load mist on a mission start trigger using a do script file. There probably are other ways but this is what comes to mind first.

You can probably get most or all of the info the co-ords etc by placing a CH53 where you want it in an empty mission, save it and then find the .miz file and unzip it using something like 7zip and use notepad++ or similar to edit the file called mission. If you look through it you should find the info you need based on the static object you placed.

Thanks I use MIST and so will try this!
