Megagoth1702 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hey folks. I know there is currently no way to do this in the mission editor. Is there any kind of work around? Scripts maybe? I dont really think setting 150 waypoints (or even more) for a group to just circle around in a specific area is a good solution. Thanks in advance.

Grimes Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Not yet. It is something we direly need. There is one workaround available. Its sorta a strange little idea that I worked on. Basically you use "switch formation" triggers and formation templates to create a patrol. All formations are relative to the first unit in a group. So if you make 4 formations where the 2nd unit is NE, NW, SW, and SE and then trigger each formation at a set interval, you can create the appearance of movement even without defined waypoints for the group.Patrol.miz The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

chromium Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Grimes, you surprise me every time. Great Idea :) Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.
