AI choppers landing on roofs?wever

[viper2588]

Hey guys thanks for taking the time to help me out,

I'm trying to make a mission where a US SF squad raids a hotel ala black hawk down. I'm trying to get the chopper to hover over the hotel so the men jump out.

I have the waypoint on "transport unload" centered on the hotel. However, when the chopper arrives, it simply slowly passes over it and lands on the grass nearby to let the men out.

Any simple script or advice for getting the chopper to allow guys out onto the roof of the building?

Thanks!

Try setFlyInHeight when the helo is above the hotel, and then use an old OFP ejection script to get the troops out.

I'm still trying to place the chopper on top of a building, but I've tried a fast drop in the water using eject scripts and flyinHeight and was successful. Also, these infos may be useful:

When fast dropping, use flyinHeight = 3 and Limited Speed, water and ground. If you'll drop in water, make sure you do this closer to the land, or they'll lose their equips and get drowned.

Still working on trying to place it on top of buildings.

I got it to work once using a helopad but it appears to only work on certain types of buildings...the hotel does not seem to be one of them
