Haleks, what guide did you follow to get the helis working? And what are all the helipads for?

*Tired of having my helis not working*

None : I was messing around with the bandits function, and had an heli spawning at some point - except that it kept crashing since it was unmanned. From there I spent a few hours reading Armaholic forums and figured out I had to spawn the crew as well and make them get in the heli with the 'moveIn' commands.
If you take a look at the helis fnc, you'll see that it's not very different from the bandits fnc : instead of spawning random bandits, you spawn the heli and its crew - the rest of it is pretty much the same as usual.
Oh, and the helipads on the map are the zombies spawning in forests.

No, the general light of the map. I think it was 4 am. I'm not sure when it's supposed to get brighter, but it was really bright. =)

That's because I've set the mission time in mid-summer. ;)

Yes, I noticed that the heli script was similar to the bandit one. I used your script for personal use, and changed the heli to a huey, and gave the AI bandit/survivor skin + loadouts, because I wanted the crashes to actually have bodies after a crash. But 1-2 of the AI would just spawn unarmed on the ground. When I was messing with heli patrols, I tried to spawn them by using the ingame editor, and throw them loadouts and what not, and then link them to the heli and give it the patrol script. But it always ended up just hovering. I don't know how much time I've spent on that, haha.

Could I use your script, if I can get the AI to successfullly have a loadout and a body after crashing, for you? Maybe random helis even? What do you think? (Don't feel forced, I don't really mind experimenting with my own.


And oh! I never messed with the season settings yet, it looked really good! Thanks for sharing. I'll mess around with it too, and see what kind of beatiful-ness one can end up with. I thought the seasons made no difference, to be fair.



EDIT: In fact, I got plenty of ideas for the helis. More than I knew myself. I'll just do it the way you did it, and see if I can add some/my ideas. Feel free to use it if it's something you like. Depending on what I come up with.
