Briefly - I want a 4 ship of choppers in line astern to come into an LZ, stop and hover at around 2m, drop off their squads and leave the LZ flying in the same direction.
Presently I have the choppers coming in and coming to a hover. Then i'm using a for loop and the action "GETOUT" for each squaddie. I need to use the for loop otherwise they all jump out at once and it looks pretty silly.
The problem is when using the GETOUT action or doGetOut command the chopper pilot decides he needs to set himself up for a new landing, even though they're only 2m of the ground, and so gains altitude, performs a 180 degree turn and settles on the ground to unload the troops.
Has anyone got any ideas on a different command I can use that will allow the chopper to continue it's 2m hover and have the squaddies all jump out while the chopper is in the hover, ie. not need to perform it's silly landing sequence before it starts to unload.
It does actually work the way it is now but I doubt you'll ever see any air assault regiment doing something like that in real life ... http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif
