[Night Flyer]

My helicopter flys without me in it, Why?

btw. This is in the BHD Map Editor....

I hope I ain't being hard on you, but never expect to get a decent answer just by telling us that much... Don't expect us to know what you're talking about instantly...

Well, what I can tell you is, check to see that you are actually in the helicopter via 3D Wireframe mode - for starters.

you can set the halo on a timer or ticker points so when other walk over to it like 10sec later it takes off.

sorry don't remember the details for this.

Hey man try starting off with the helicopter on the ground and then setting the player start markers Z axis to two i think it was about 2. that should do it. make sure that the player start marker is over the helicopter.

[Chrispy]

He said his helo flew off without him in it, so I'm assuming he's done the helo events right.

Night Flyer, do you know how to use 3D Wireframe? Read the manual and go to the "3D Wireframe" section and read it. You'll use Wireframe to position the player correctly, if that's the issue.

It could be because your not even using the events at all. Leave the Helicopters waypoints blank. Then use an area trigger and place the area triggers around the blackhawk. Then use an event to trigger the blackhawk to leave.

IF:
ssn(10000)player within area 1
THEN:
redirect ssn (blackhawk) to waypoint


if your trying to start the player on the heli your best bet is placing the player start marker 2.5 meters below the Blackhawk's height. If your using a littlebird, then position it 2 meter below it's height.

If your still clueless you should seriously consider reading through the manual thats in the startup menu alongside your game.

Start> all programs> Novalogic> Delta Force Black Hawk Down> Mission Editor Manual

A lot of people prefer to "find" alternatives to reading the manual, but to everyone who has not read the manual, DO read it. It's good stuff.
