Arma 2 Helicopter pick up and Insertion Tutorial

[Chuckythevideodoll]

@nctarcheel26 Can you have a reverse of this? I mean like, you fly the helicopter and the AI requests pick-up?

[Pichacu1]

Lol when i do this i was killed cuz helo smash a rock ^^

[starboomer11]

Mine just hovers over the extraction zone for a few seconds and then darts for the insertion zone.

@PlaneAU u place to load or transport unload(which ever ur using..) literally on top of a helipad of any kind(located in empty-objects) meaning, u place the helipad where u want the chopper to land(invisible helipad recommend) u then click waypoints tab and put ur cursor over te helipad until it says "helipad" and double click which should bring up the waypoint menu, then u put in ur load or transport unload options in.. Hope this helps out. Pm me if u need more info

[TheAjslife]

@RyAn639OnXbOxLiVe if u want the helo to drop off the troops then leave use transport unload waypoint where u want it to drop them off and use "move" waypoint after the unload to tell the chopper to lift off and leave. Use get out waypoint where ever u want the pilot to land and get out. Pm me if confused

[TheAjslife]

@FunkyMunkyStudios on the transport unload waypoint that u use to insert units into an area u set the behavior as careless and open fire/engage at will if u want the gunners in the helo to shoot back at the enemy.

Ok so im doing this EXACTLY like on the video, but with a UH-1Y and an Osprey, but neither will work. the Venom just hovers there while the Osprey flies away and then does a flyby.

[nctarheel26]

@BuilderMarine u got to be missing a step but if u use teamspeak let me know and we can go over it that way...

[starboomer11]

@nctarheel26 How did you get yours to fly away after the insertion? Mine always stays there.

[BuilderMarine]

Question: if i were to do multiple of these pickups/dropoffs simultaneously from the same area but with 4 different helicopters of the same type, how would i do that. ive tried giving each singular path an alpha trigger, and each path a different trigger. problem is: they get to the "Move" waypoint that's synched with the radio trigger, but they just hover there instead of executing the pickup. What do i do?

[FunkyMunkyStudios]

insertion doesn't work under hostile fire....

[FunkyMunkyStudios]

you don't really need that first move waypoint for the riflemen, but helpful nonetheless.

[tmerritt585]

Worked PERFECTLY!

[t60146]

Thanks Alot!!

[PlaneAU]

Good but not too good, the helicopter didn't land when it came to pick you up!!

[nctarheel26]

@PlaneAU because i didn't want it to...

[RyAn639OnXbOxLiVe]

How do you make the chopper land

[nctarheel26]

@RyAn639OnXbOxLiVe i think change the waypoint to get out 

[reecter]

if i was to make a big battle could i time the chopper so it would came in a few sec's and drop off a few men ????

[acasnn]

thank you that was much simpler and clearer than most other tutorials :)

[nctarheel26]

@acasnn yep thats why i made this one...watched the other ones myself and wondered why they made them so overly complicated...

[hkman25]

this is really helpful and great tutorial! Thanks you so much!

[135TheAndrew]

TXH :))))))))))))

[USSNimitz96]

not bad, it might help much guys

[xXBlu3Haz3Xx]

Hey, how do you change the text from Radio to something like Medevac... is there a way to customize what it says?

[nctarheel26]

@xXBlu3Haz3Xx yes in the trigger in the text section type what ever you like and it will show up instead of apha

[DaKiller1249]

Thank you So Much I love you!

[CJmontage101]

what do you use to fly and what do most people use to fly mouse and keypad,xbox controller,or a joy stick

[nctarheel26]

@CJmontage101 i use keyboard but it supports flight sticks and xbox 360 controllers

[CJmontage101]

@CJmontage101 k thanks



[Zam0rak41]

How you get you and your squad mates into the heli?

GREAT VIDEO, HELPED ME OUT ALOT!!

[nctarheel26]

@Zam0rak41 make yourself group leader and tell your group to embark

[Zam0rak41]

@nctarheel26 But what if I got a gigantic squad and I use multiple helicopters for that, how can I let them board it? It only tags 2...6 and when I try another helicopter to board it, it just says 2...6 again... Can you help me out please, again? Thank you for your help and time you paying.

[nctarheel26]

@Zam0rak41 attach a helicopter to your other helicopter and have them load in both helicopters

[nctarheel26]

Keep in mind that you can substitute the helicopter with any transport heli or truck / afv

[MrG30SF]

Thanks for this.

[chickenfishy09]

Do i need operation arrowhead for the BAF DLC?

[nctarheel26]

@chickenfishy09 yes

[01800pp]

does it work with arma 1?

[nctarheel26]

@01800pp I think it should work the same with arma 1

[01800pp]

@nctarheel26 hehe thanks, i just finished downloading it and i'm excited to play it :D

sorry bad english (google translate) :)

[thenewgeogzm]

when I use the radio the helicopter flies over and then just sits there like a lost child. I followed every step of the tut.

[nctarheel26]

@thenewgeogzm what heli are using

[thenewgeogzm]

@nctarheel26 nvm fixed it just had to move the waypoint over me at start

[callofdutyguy9]

@nctarheel26 im using a H-34 choctaw from a the vietnam the experience mod, and rgus doesnt work

[nctarheel26]

@callofdutyguy9 not sure what you mean explian again please

[callofdutyguy9]

@nctarheel26 im trying to this type of pick up with a mod, does this work only if i am the one being picked up or can this work if i am a gunner in the chopper

[nctarheel26]

@callofdutyguy9 this one only if your being picked up but you can do it that way also

[NorStarReviews]

Any idea how to fix this. I use transport unload, and my team gets kicked out 10 feet off the ground and die lol

[darkari01]

so if you use the alpha command on the radio will the helicopter land near you or the waypoint?

[nctarheel26]

@darkari01 near the waypoint...

[drnoobtube88]
