getting the ai to hold at datalink point!

[Bee_Sting]

i know in the bs1 1.00 you was able to make your ai hold position at a datalink point(if you edited it in mission editor). he now just says that he has arrived at the point but doesn't hold position.why did it change in the later versions of bs?:helpsmilie:

When you order them to hold, do they fly a pattern around the datalink point (possibly a figure 8 IIRC)?

 

I think I saw somewhere on the forum that they won't hold at the point but will rather fly a pattern around it, in order to improve fuel time (hovering uses more power hence more fuel).

the AI just flies right pass the hold point and flies to nowhere!

that's odd, i was using datalink-hold command to have my flight hide in a side valley while i ambushed some MI-28's just recently, and they orbited it fine.

how did you get him to do so? for me he just flies right by. does the data point needs to be right next to you or????
