      May I ask how I make helicopters in a map follow their waypoints without enemy bots scaring them off and go off-course? Mine went sight-seeing on its own after taking heavy fire and later sort of returned after a wide circle (how does a pre-programmed helo become autonomous anyway?!). I had already changed the texture of the Black Hawk to ‘Ignore Enemies’, but it seems all it does is ignore the texture…

      Does anybody know what went wrong and how to solve this problem? Please and thank you so much

      Press the helo key, then Edit item attributes. There’s also the Al text file. Change that to ignore enemies.

      If you can’t figure it out, I’ll make a demo map .

      I did exactly that: change text file to ‘ignore enemies’ in item attributes…and still the Black Hawk flew off on its own after being hit with AK47 and RPG rounds 🙁 the problem I keep running into is that everything works fine until the helo is fired upon (intensely); then it develops a mind of its own and starts doing weird stuff

      Okay, small update:

      Captain suggested using no text file at all. Tried that real quick ~ no joy either

      Then I noticed (again) that the Little Bird all that time seemed to be unaffected by everything that happened around it, so I tried the text file ‘Little Bird with benches’…and it worked ^_^

      Maybe it worked because it’s just a TRANSPORT helo, but whatever the reason, if any of you has similar trouble: try the little bird with benches text file to make it passive and follow wp.

      Thanks again, @CoopWarriors and @Captain

      I meant the ‘A.I.text file’ in ‘item attributes’, at the top-middle of the pop-up screen. There you can change how the helo behaves.
      I tried different files, but ‘Little Bird with benches’ seemed to do the trick for both Little Bird and Black Hawk. Fully passive and ignoring the environment for what I gathered in the brief test.
      One final thorough test tomorrow and if all goes well, I’ll send my latest helo map in for test & approval
