Having a bit of trouble...


Recommended Posts

...figuring out how to get troops deployed onto the ground.

Okay, here's what I am doing, what am I missing?

I tell a bunch of marines to board a shuttle.

Set up waypoints on planetside for the shuttle, including one point that is "deploy team". And another that is "extract team".

Set up waypoints for shuttle team (corresponding number).

Launch shuttle. Shuttle flies to WP that is designated "deploy team". Then flies away...very very far away. Doesn't deploy a team. And doesn't return unless I select RTB or resume waypoints (which repeats above process).

I also tried this with an ATV. Still no luck. ATV had a team on it as well.

Thanks for any help...

EDIT:

Removed a question I figured out on my own...

ok make sure the marines have actually gotten TO the shuttle before you launch.

Also sometimes the waypoints are set below the ground, try to set them while not at an angle in tacops.

1)No.

Yeah.

use the transporter, if you don't know how to use waypoints to deploy troops/vehicles.

Have you actually tried deploying/collecting a mining drone? Thats where you ought to start I think.

And I said in my other thread:

  1. try using 2 waypoints instead of one. With the #1 waypoint being 'proceed to next' and #2 waypoint being the desired order, e.g. 'deploy team'

  2. make sure the waypoints are not below the ground and not at a high altitude (5000'??!?! yikes)

Thanks SC and everyone else...read other thread after I posted on this one. Haven't had a chance to try it out so far. ACM keeps making me do missions in space.

Perhaps I'll try it out in FF mode.

So far, I've gotten deployment to work only when I was in command of the shuttle myself. Which is fine too, if I can't get it to work the other way. We'll see what happens.
