Doublepulse Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Sigh.. I hate to create a new topic for one question.. but maybe it might get answered if I do. So Im working on my mission and I create an actor to sit in the nearest vehicle and the vehicle is a helicopter. I place some route points so the actor flies the helicopter to the designated area. However.. the actor flying the helicopter does not move to its route points.. He sometimes starts to, but just flies in the same area sort of turned to the left. The actor flying is over the Madd Dogg's mansion and I tried putting it in other areas near the mansion.. but no luck. Anyone have an idea to fix this? Why does it happen anyway? I tried to make either the actor or the helicopter a objective with red marker. Its suppose to be a chasing part. Thanks, sorry for making a new topic, Im just trying to finish this mission so I can move on to the others Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/466492-need-help-with-helicopter-route-points/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpso Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Maybe the route is bugged. Delete the actor and heli and try again. Try making a loop route and see if it works.

Heh I deleted the actor like 7 times and tried 7 times.. I havent tried the loop route, but it might be my only hope. I didnt use it because I want him to stop, so u can shoot it down . Thanks, Please post if you have any other ideas.

Doublepulse Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 lol idk it looks like the loop-route didnt work.. I hate usin the jetpack to make route-points. Its so hard to do it for me. Atleast if I was in the helicopter I would have a better idea on the limit the heli can fly . Ahh Im not gonna give up tho. Maybe I will have to change the intentions of the mission. lol Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/466492-need-help-with-helicopter-route-points/#findComment-1060273851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Scrotum Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I tried to do an actor follow a route with a Rustler with the loop-route on and it was fine for me. Maybe a matter of luck?

Maybe a matter of luck? grr well I did it before.. So I know how to do it, but did you do exactly what I was trying to do. The helicopter is the objective. The point is to follow the red blip with the actor in the heli. You are also suppose to destroy it when u get a chance. Preferable once the heli reaches the destination. Im using a SAPD helicopter lol Maybe we cant effectively have a actor drive a heli. Ive had other annoying times where the people in the car spin around in circles.

Doublepulse Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 It happens both on versions for me, So I know its not the version. One of the things I believe it is, because Madd Doggs Mansion is kind of high off the city ground, the helicopter cannot get to the route? Im not familiar about how high a heli can actually fly and I don't know how low I can go without it crashing into poles.
