Can't Get Speed/Alt Conditions Working with Moose

[rassy7]

Working out a proof of concept, template mission, trying to make troops unboard a helicopter when it lands in a zone. Everything works except the speed and altitude conditions. For some reason, the game believes the helicopter is constantly flying slower and lower than it is and troops unboard while helicopter is still in the air. How have I messed this up?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

LUA and MIZ file are attached and code is here:

 

DEBUG = GROUP:FindByName("DEBUG")

-- Cargo Creation and Loading

InfantryGroup = GROUP:FindByName("Assault Troops")
InfantryCargo = CARGO_GROUP:New(InfantryGroup, "Assault Troops", "Assault Alpha", 2000)
CargoCarrier = UNIT:FindByName("Assault Helo 1")
InfantryCargo:Load(CargoCarrier)

-- Zone Creation

LZ = ZONE:New("LZ")

-- Create Variables for Helo Speed and Altitude

HeloSpeed = UNIT:FindByName("Assault Helo 1"):GetVelocityKMH()
HeloAlt = UNIT:FindByName("Assault Helo 1"):GetAltitude()

-- Zone, Speed and Altitude Checks

ZoneCheck = SCHEDULER:New(nil,
 function()
   if GROUP:FindByName("Assault Helos"):IsCompletelyInZone(LZ) then
     DEBUG:MessageToAll("Helo in Zone", 5, "DEBUG")
   end
 end,
{}, 1, 10)

Gauges = SCHEDULER:New(nil,
 function()
   if (HeloSpeed < 2) then
     DEBUG:MessageToAll("Helo Slow Speed", 5, "DEBUG")
   end
   if (HeloSpeed > 2) then
     DEBUG:MessageToAll("Helo High Speed", 5, "DEBUG")

   end
   if (HeloSpeed > 2) and (HeloAlt > 75) then
     DEBUG:MessageToAll("HELO HIGH AND FAST", 5, "DEBUG")
   end
 end,
{}, 1, 10)

   if GROUP:FindByName("Assault Helos"):IsCompletelyInZone(LZ) and

     InfantryCargo:UnBoard()

You are only querying the speed and altitude ONCE. You need to get those every time your scheduler runs.

Oh my gosh. You're right. I'm an idiot. The actual number is never changing. Ugh. Thanks!
