wess24m Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 So this mission is a co-op between A-10's and Ka-50's. the weather is IMC so the A-10's are relying on the choppers to give them target information (more specifically the bunker). After the KA-50's take out the SA-15 the A-10's can start running in on the existing targets. The problem I'm having is getting the spec-op's chopper to hold at a hold point before the target until the targets are destroyed, or it would work to have an "other" command in the menu. After the chopper is called in i have it set to drop off the spec-op's team. I've got the bunkers been destroyed message sent to the flights. After the troops reach the town and hold (search) for a while, while the flights provide cover I want them to board the chopper and head back to base or some hold point while a radio message relays information on other terrorist camp locations that was gathered from the intel gathered from the camp. So I know how to set triggers, but struggling with the hold points and action "other" options in the menu. If some of you expert mission makers could take a look and give me a bit of a heads up that would be great. I've yet to setup the other camp's in the mission maker but everything (except the spec-op's hold points/actions) up to the the first camp is complete. The 2 flights will have different camps to strike, the A-10's will be further away the KA-50's will be closer. I'd planned on sending a message to send all flights RTB to refuel and rearm once the spec-op's chopper heads back to base or a hold point. https://www.dropbox.com/s/h13uwj0us9y8utq/no%20eyes.miz
LFCChameleon_Silk Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 no way you could just have it hold, when triggered event occurs, remove the helicopter using group deactivate and then activate a second helicopter that would "resume" the mission because its waypointing would be the rest of what the first helicopter was supposed to do. a bit of trickery to get the right results. don't know if this would suite your needs.

I'll give that a shot, so for the all targets destroyed/dead you'd make a trigger containing the whole camp area right? Then assign it a "group (red) all out of trigger zone"?
Quirkitized Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) edit: see attached mission. The huey will hover, after 60 seconds the bunker will blowup (this is to simulate a player destroying it) after it blows up the huey will fly away. CTRL+Z to speed up time and SHIFT+Z to go to normal time, so it'll only take a few seconds to view. If you want a helicopter to hold, you can do two things 1. Advance waypoint option > Land > Land time X minutes. You could have them stay on the ground until needed to take off. To have them take off: Stop condition > is user > # (# is flag 1, the condition in which you want them to take off) 2. To have them hold in a position, in a hover, use an orbit Advance waypoint option > Orbit > speed 0 Then use the same stop condition, IS USER > Flag # Is this what u were looking for?endhover.miz Edited March 1, 2013 by Quirkitized

Yup exactly, I'll check it out. I was just wanting it to hold until a object(s) was destroyed. Sounds like this will do the trick.
