Slazi Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Sorry I don't have a chance to read all the posts in here, but can anyone recommend a way to set up troop drops in game? I want to be able to drop new squads of soldiers, and possibly move existing units too. Are there any vehicles the mi8 could fit inside, or is it too small? Can anyone give me some recommendations? I'm looking for something that's easy to implement and easy for players to use.

Slazi Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks, I had a look at the link, but no real time to work on it yet. I'll update when I've had some time to implement it in my mission!
Slazi Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 From the looks of the thread the latest patch breaks this. I'll give it some time before I look at implementing any kind of troop drop. Is there any chance this will be officially supported at some point? I don't really want to have to mess around with scripts that get broken with new patches.

Slazi Posted October 26, 2013 Author Posted October 26, 2013 Great! Thanks for the advice everyone! Got this up and runnning in my mission. I set up different pickup points for the vehicles. 18 man groups for the Mi-8. 8 man groups for unarmed Hueys and 4 for the armed one. I have to trust the pilots to pick up the right groups. I wish the script allowed you to split groups etc depending on cargo size, but I guess the official version should deal with that later. Thanks again.
