Damaged, Landed Helicopters, Set Flag ?

[Wrecking Crew]

New mission called Huey Apocalypse has Blue AI helicopters attacking Red vehicle targets including AAA.

 

The UH-1Hs and OH-58Ds are getting shot up and they land in enemy territory and sit on the ground for I don't know how long after that. They are stopping in zones and screwing up the regular event logic for All Of Coalition Out Of Zone.

I'm pretty sure there was a discussion about how to detect this condition -- AI aircraft (helicopter) is on the ground (landed) and is zero speed. I want to set a flag with these conditions:

Aircraft is landed (horizontal and vertical speed = zero?; what is the definition?)

 

Optional conditions:

Aircraft is damaged

Aircraft is in a zone

 

 

Can someone point me to a solution?

 

Ahh -- here is the other discussion that asked about detecting a 'landing'. Weight On Wheels may be an attribute? What about when covers go onto a Red jet after landing -- is that a 'condition' that can be detected, or, like when a cargo plane's ramp goes down?

^^^ We never got to a solution back then.

I can probably make do with the script from the previous post.

 

But it would be helpful to detect a true landing, whether that be a normal landing with shut down, or a damaged landing.

 

(Those downed helicopters are a bear to kill with a BMP-1!)

Can you add the condition "Unit's Altitude Lower Than" ? This is in meters above sea level so you'll have to know how high above sea level the terrain is.

I did get this to work with traditional events -- everything I needed is there, just have to do an event for every unit.

 

I used Unit Damaged 10%, and Unit Speed < 4.
