Hi all, wow its been a long long time, hope the community is well image

I'm having a problem with my npc_helicopter not waiting for an input, plus i am not entirely sure which entity to use for it to do this, scripted sequence? path_track? path_corner? i am currently using a scripted sequence, which does get the helicopter from A to B, but it wont wait for an input even when told.

( wait for input checked in flags of heli )

could someone plz provide a run through of various ways to use the chopper or a link to a page that has a tutorial on it.

to clarify, i would like the chopper to either be gagged or spawned before it follows its path, a simple fly over is what i am after without the chopper acquiring enemies ( again this i have checked in the flags to no avail )

thx bunches image

EDIT . MY APOLOGIES I AM USING A PATH TRACK NOT A SCRIPTED SEQUENCE.

If the chopper is a solid entity make a trigger_onse zone targeting the chopper.This will activate the chopper when you cross the zone.If you want the chopper to move after a pres of a button,create a funs_button targeting the chopper.That way you can activate the machine when ever you want!If the chopper is a monster,use the scripted_sequence,but the button or trigger_onse must target the scripted_sequence!

good for you O_o !

ok great i have my helicopter flying over head without its guns blatting everything that moves, but how do i get it to ignore the player and force it to the end of the ( path tracks, as air ones did nothing ) route? It keeps swinging round to face me or even hovers cheekily above me ^^. I need it to completely ignore the player all together.

i have the helicopter set to wait for input
and a trigger that...

1 activates the chopper

2 turns off the choppers guns

and 3 tells he chopper to move to the first path track.

if anyone can help, thx <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
