Disembark troops from helicopter without having them embark first?

[cfrag]

I want to create a mission where I have a flight of AI helicopters that have some troops already loaded and land in a target zone for disembarkation.

 

I can do that when the helicopters pick up the troops first, but for the life of me can't figure out how I could have an AI helicopter start the mission with troops already on board and in mid-flight. I'm sure it's just stupid me, so I'd welcome any pointers on how to do that.

 

Thanks,

Hi -ch,

 

You could simulate the helicopter disembarking the troops by:

 

1. Creating a trigger zone at the point where the helicopter is supposed to land and disembark the troops.

 

2. In this trigger zone, place your disembarked troops. Set them for "Late Activation".

 

3. Then create a trigger:

eg. (helicopter in trigger zone) and (helicopter altitude = 0m AGL) => (Group activate [your disembarked troops]}

 

Hope this helps.
