if never() then
With this piece of code you can man the helo and leave the driver seat and gunner position empty. B sure to set the civilians to your team, otherwise you can't take a seat in the helo... Good luck... NUT ACE out... | ||

No that won't work...The enemy AI will keep shooting them... Just set the civi's to neutral. Don't know if you can fly the Heli then...you'll just have to test that.. NUT ACE out... | ||

Even if you changed the civis to the blue team at point of loading, only the host would see them change tam and only the host would be able to attach. Another solution could be to teleport the civis to the final wp, then you fly back. | ||

Haven't tested it on civilians though, but worth a shot. Else you still have exclusive AI targetting, but that won't work with NILE so you have to convert your project to MED then (not a bad idea though). | ||

| Registered Member #1336 Joined: Tue Jul 25 2006Location: Netherlands (Rotterdam) Posts: 267 | I've tested it this morning, with civilians set to blue team, coward, blind and indestructible the enemies will not attack them. So that way you can safely set the to blue team so you can fly the heli when they attach, without having the enemies trying to kill them all the time. Another option to stop enemies from staying at their last WP is adding a new waypoint to the back of the list with a very large radius. I use that a lot for enemies attacking you so after they reached the last WP they are free to engage and chase you all over the map rather then grouping together at the same place. If you use a radius of 2000 meters they will (unless your heli ride is extremely long) always be inside the final wp and will not try to walk back. Finally you can send them to waypoint list 0. As far as I could test, sending AI on waypoint list 0 causes them to detach (if they are attached) and hold at their current position (if they were given a waypoint before).

The best way is to set civilians to neutral and let's say you don't rescue them in 5-10 min they die, by using Kill Unit command. And if you save them in time they can fly the helo out of there with you onboard. | ||

The enemies will still attack you, but will ignore the civilians because of the coward flag. AI only attacks cowards when the coward attacks them first. It should have the same effect as when you set them to neutral team, but now you can give them friendly tags and attach to the same heli. [ Edited Thu Jan 08 2009 ] | ||
