How to put CTLD in the menu?

[tusler]

I am trying the Through the Inferno Afghanistan single player, I went into mission editor and put in a CH-47F, named it the same way other helo's are named. When I go to the F10 menu I have all the menus including CSAR but CTLD is not there. It is present in the other Helo's. How do i put it in the CH-47F? I am not a programmer at all, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Simply change an existing heli to the CH-47 would be the easiest option I guess.

I'm not much of a CTLD guru but the CH-47F's unit name is actually

CH-47FBL1
or
CH-47bl1

that might work

You need to put in the helicopter type to allow it to carry troops and/or crates under : "ctld.unitActions" like this:

ctld.unitActions = {
	["UH-1H"] = {crates=true, troops=true},
	["Mi-8MT"] = {crates=true, troops=true},
    ["SA342Mistral"] = {crates=false, troops=true},
    ["Mi-24P"] = {crates=false, troops=true},
	["MosquitoFBMkVI"] = {crates=true, troops=true},
	["CH-47Fbl1"] = {crates=true, troops=true},
	
}

 

Then use a unit name on your CH-47F in the ME that is present or you added in to : "ctld.transportPilotNames"

Exampel if yours look like this, you can use one of the names in the list in the ME as a unit name of your helicopter : helicargo01

 

ctld.transportPilotNames = {
    "helicargo01",	
	"helicargo02",	
 	"helicargo03",	
}

 

Hope this helps
