Help! how to make helicopters takeoff & Landing?

[Perro Loco]

Hi, I'm editing my first map and I want program a BH helicopter for takeoff when the player aboard it, and landing after follow the designated route. I read carefuly the tutorials about landing, but I don't have any success and i can't find instructions about triggered takeoffs. My experiments in the events section don't work. Please help me!! Every information was wellcome!!

Iv'e just recently started maps as well and found that area triggers combined with events have to be made.
1:create names for the area triggers and waypoints. insert a helo name it group 3 (helo). 2: insert area trigers name them area 1 take one of the area triggers and raise the z value to about 3. (so when you look at it in the 3d wireframe it looks like a box surrounding the helo. 3: insert your waypoints to the destination. raise the z value of the waypoints to the height that you want the helo to fly. 3: events-(set the delay to whatever you want) group 1 is in area 3 then redirect group 3 to waypoint 1-0 group 3 to follow waypoint (set the combat speed and the patrol speed the same. 4:Group 3 reaches waypoint 1-5 change AI state to land. and that ought to do it. good luck

Does anyone know how to make a helicopter take of and land then takeoff and land again like in the stock maps in multiplayer?

yes, I know, but it doesn't work on my Computer, but know how it should work.

To have it take off on its first time you just have it follow waypoints

to make it land you set it's AI State to Land

if you want it to take off again just se it's AI State to Follow Waypoint and then redirect it to follow one

one more thing, If you're having trouble with getting into the
Item attributes menu, try making sure NUM LOCK is off before
you get into the MED
