A.I. Still does not embark

[pimp]

Setting up an A.I. transport helo and some troops(~3 troops) to embark still does not work. I can get the helo to land and the troops to the zone but they do not embark. The troops just stand there while the helo just sits there waiting.

This is a well known bug.Many players have reported it and we are still waiting for a fix.

Latest version that could handle it was 1.5.4 (as far as I know).

 

There is a "work around" called CTLD, but I don`t know much about it. Sure some one else can give you a helping hand.

Works fine for me - embarking and disembarking, both with AI and player controlled helicopters.

See attached sample mission.

Thanks but I can only get the AI to AI working if the Mi-8 is the helo. No other transport helos worked for me. I even tried on just 2 Infantry troops.

AI Troops still only embarks with the Mi-8. They just stand there when using the Ch-53, Ch-47, UH-60, & UH-1H.

Works for me in 2.5.2.xxx OB.

Any heli which is able to transport troops. Huey for example.

Are you using the AI to AI scenario? Thats what I'm trying to get to work.

[ex81]

Not sure what you mean.

The heli and the troops are only computer controlled. I mean, I don`t fly the heli myself.

So I think it`s all AI.

Hope I`m right.

[pimp]

Are you able to provide a track or mission where it's working for you?

[ex81]

Yes, I can.

I created the Mission right after I downloaded 2.5.2 OB.

It`s a bit complex, but the embarking is just about two minutes after mission start.

The huey takes off from the ship Oliver Perry (?), then flies to the waiting troops and they embark.

Simply use the F10 maps to watch the Huey. Hope you know how to do this.

Or press F7 until you see the troops.

 

After quiet a while, long flight, They embark near the target area. If not shot down before by three BRT 80s.

Anyway, have fun.

Thank you, but I could not use your mission. I don't have the necessary modules to open it. However, I did figure out my issue. I kept selecting the "Binding to Transport" option while also choosing the vehicle group type that does the pickup. When I stopped using the "Binding to Transport" option, the infantry embarked to the helo.

What modules do you have?

What modules do you have?

When trying to load the mission, it says I need the Scimitar Mod.

 

There's still something weird about the embarking though. In NTTR at Henderson airbase, I cannot get the troops to embark from empty areas on the airbase, like empty parking areas or other empty spaces. However, once I move the troops off the airbase I can get them to embark.

[ex81]

As I said, you can download the mod and install it. You`ll find it in USER FILES. Search for vehicles.

I don`t have the Nevada map, but can place the troops anywhere as long as the heli finds a flat area to land.

Maybe other have further help.

After I read Your first post, I tryed to create a mission With 3 AI controlled Mi8 helicopters. And 3 groups of soldiers, 8 in each group. First I placed the copters on the gras on the airport in Caucasus but then they all 24 of them embarked to the same copter. Even if I added names to the groups. But then I moved the copters away from etch others and then they embarked to correct copter. The problem is still when they dissembark, they run like covards back home again :cry:

[ex81]

I wonder why the run home? Have you given them waypoints after disembarking?

In my latest mission they leave the heli, run for their next waypoint and attack the way they should.

All in 2.5.2 OB

I have tryed that too with no luck. I guess I doing something wrong...

Try a trigger that when they are in a specific zone, say setting a zone where the chopper is supposed to land, that they go to a specific waypoint. I will give it a try myself, but should work.

 

EDIT: Just whipped up a quick mission and the above works. I can attach the mission if you like, although I did it in Normandy so if you dont have that I can redo it in something else.

Great, glad I could help.

[ex81]

@Nineline !

Did put your .miz into missions in saved games folder>missions.

But it does not show when I want to open it in the game. Any idea ?

[NineLine]

Should work putting it there, that is where mine is and where it was saved to.

 

if you have multiple installs, make sure you didnt put it in the wrong Saved Games, and I did this in Open Beta, but I dont think that should matter.

I saved the file in the folder where I save my missions from within mission builder and opened it from there.
