Stopping AI Once It Is Activated

[doodenkoff]

I have a small mission where a helicopter is performing a medevac flight into a combat zone. Lots of tracers and booms and noise....fun.

 

I use a switched condition to activate the AI combat groups. It is triggered when the helo group leaves a zone centered on the FARP. Works like a charm; the helo exits the zone and a little war commences.

 

I'm going nuts though trying to figure out a strategy to stop the AI once the pickup is complete and the helicopter gets a sufficient distance away from the LZ. I thought the switched condition would do it. When the helo re-enters the zone, the AI would de-activate. But that ain't happening.

 

Got any hints?

I haven't played with Switched Condition in a while.

 

Something else that should work:

 

Once > Unit in Zone > Activate Groups & Flag 1 On

 

Once > Flag 1 On and Unit out of Zone > Deactivate Groups

 

So basically the helicopter enters zone, this turns on the AAA fire and Flag 1. Then when the helicopter is out of Zone after Flag 1 is on, the AI is turned off, set to hold fire, despawned, etc.
