Arma 3 Editor | Board Chopper Task

[@bitboydcs9825]

Arma 3 AI choppers are always an adventure. :) Good info as always, appreciate the various options. The vanilla Arma3 Support module seems to work pretty well but as you noted the AI behavior can be "squirrely" at times for sure. Thanks for sharing.

This seems to work without issues sometimes, and other times it doesn't. If the playable unit boards first and then orders AI into the chopper, there usually isn't an issue, but doing this reminds me of why I generally avoid using friendly AI. They are just a pain to deal with. Thanks for the kind comments, always appreciated.

How to make to task be completed after boarding chopper?

[@ace1gun]

Great Videos!

[@OnlineCombatBN]

Thanks mate.

Can you remove the succeed task and everything still work? also i get an error for engine turn on

[@OnlineCombatBN]

Yes you can remove the task succeed and it will work. For engine on are you adding the variable name of the helo?

[@scottcole1423]

I don't know if you figured this out already, but I was having the same issue. Instead of clicking the blue square abouve the unit and giving it the variable name "h1" which assigns h1 to a group or the crew, what worked for me was assigning "h1" to the helo itself and not the crew.

[@OnlineCombatBN]

H1 is supposed to be for the helo, not the crew.... I did explain this. 🤨

[@scottcole1423]

@@OnlineCombatBN maybe you did, but that’s the error I was having. It seemed like from the video, you clicked on the blue square above the heli, and assigned it h1. And when I do that, it gives me the error that it expects an object not a group.

[@scottcole1423]

Your tutorials are a life saver! Thank you for doing all these! I'm trying to set this up exactly like you've got it here, but its giving me an error with the "s1 inArea thisTrigger;" code that you put in the trigger. It says "Error inarea: Type Group, expected Array, Object". Do you know why that is?

[@OnlineCombatBN]

Ok, with the error does what you're doing still work or does it not work at all?

[@scottcole1423]

@@OnlineCombatBN it doesn’t work at all. I get in the helo and it doesn’t do anything

[@OnlineCombatBN]

@@scottcole1423 Are you playing with AI?

[@scottcole1423]

[@azzido851]

It doesn't work for me with AI. Everytime an AI goes close to Heli than Heli goes up no matter what. So trigger doesnt work properly. If there is only player on the map than it works fine.

[@OnlineCombatBN]

Make the trigger smaller if you are using an area trigger, and you board chopper first THEN order AI in.
