Moving Ground Troops From Zone To Zone?

[VAF [136] Striker]

We set up a simple mission where we drop off troops using CTLD but want them them to move to a specific zone. I've tried using waypoints but since the group is essentially despawning when you pick them up and respawning when you drop them off, the waypoints become invalid and crash the mission.

 

I haven't really been involved in using MIST yet but I noticed that there's a GroupMove option built into the script. What we want to do is drop them off, have them move to a specific trigger zone and hold there for a timed amount, say 5 minutes, and then move to another trigger zone for extraction.

 

Is this something that can be accomplished with MIST or is there something else that works to accomplish this task?

Yup thats possible :)

 

Attached is a sample mission showing how you go about doing it (updated to latest CTLD and DCS 1.5)

If your happy using MIST with DO SCRIPTS then you could actually keep the same group the whole way through instead of removing the old group and activating a new one to carry out the orders

Thank you for posting that!

I'm sure it will help us out a lot.

I may be thinking old news, but the Embark/Disembark only worked for the Russian helicopters in v1.2. Does Embark/Disembark work for U.S. helos in v1.5 and v2?
