Ai infantry doesn't embark if on oilrig or gaz platform

[jef32]

Hi

 

 

I've done several missions with rescue of infantry units lost in Caucasus forests and that works and the radio item "embark" appears if my Huey is landed in the embarking zone. But if I put the infantry on a oilrig or a gaz platform, the item radio"embark" don't appear, even if my Huey is landed just beside him and the soldier stays where he is.

It can be done when used in conjunction with my troop water spawn mod.

 

1. Embark/Disembark is usually a land based function only.

 

2. setting it all up following this video will help. (it works for client helos too).

3. Increase the zone radius for the troops to encompass the land based embark point for the helo.

 

4. Only tested relatively close to shore so far.

Sounds great, but where can I find and download your " troop water spawn mod"?

I've installed your mod

 

 

The item radio "embark" happens this time but the soldier don't move.

 

 

I don't understand. Do I have to set him a frequency before ?

Click on the post link above which will take you to a video explaining the process. The maximum distance that the rig can be from land is 6000ft ish, this is the maximum size of the zone for embarkation of the troops.

I've made a 200 radius embarking zone and I was landed just near him. He had just the door to open.

 

 

I don't know why but on the oilrig, in the ME, I can't move the embarking triangle icon.

I can move it if I place the troop on land but not on the oilrig.

 

 

Perhaps that's why the soldier don't want to embark.

Troop setup:

 

 

Helo setup:

 

 

If you are expecting this to work miles out to sea you have absolutely no chance. As I mentioned before this is a land based operation and this setup fools it.

I don't explain why but why do we have to make the option embark for the helicopter ?

 

 

 

It's just for embarking a troop on an oilrig ? No need to enable "embarking" option for the helicopter if we embark troops on land ( I have some missions to do that and no need to go in the advanced options of the helicopter).

 

 

Except if recently the recent update force to do that, I will try.

 

 

But I've tried to do as you show on the pics and that runs fine now.

 

 

Thanks !

I've tried and my old missions aren't working anymore.

I havn't the possibility to assign a task "embarking" for the helicopter.

 

 

I've tried to uninstall your mod but it's the same .

 

 

bug of the new versions ?

 

 

No I re-edit the message: Forget, to have the option I've forgotten to validate "transport" in the tasks. I was on "nothing". But I've understood with your help. Now all works fine. So if you can explain what is the duration option and why you don't have to associate the troops being transported with the player vehicle, thanks !

 

 

But if I want that the troops wait patiently where they are until I come, I must do a marker to stop the command " maintain position"
