AI flying
I am new to MED and I was wondering how I can do this:
1. Have Blackhawk running and have myself and a few friendlies get inside.
2. Have it takeoff once I get on minigun.
3. Have it fly a certain route and land.
4. Have friendlies get out, follow me along, and shoot enemies at destination.
I don't even know if any of this stuff is possible!! Any help is appreciated!!

Welcome to map making. First, recommend that you read the MED manual. Second, you might want to search the map making forums on how to do some of
this stuff.
Also, recommend that you do some of this in stages. Learn how to get the helo to fly along a waypoint path. Learn how to make it takeoff when you
trigger it.
1. How setup a Blackhawk prior to flight.
A. Insert a blackhawk. Give it a group name like "Blueteam Blackhawk".
B. Insert some waypoints (see page 20 of MED manual). Call the waypoints "Blackhawk path". Select all the waypoints and set the Z height to
something like 75. You don't want your helo flying into the ground.
C. Add a blue teammate (pilot). Assign the pilot to a group. Name this group something like "Blueteam pilot". (see page 13 of the MED manual)
D. In the events, you'll need to direct the pilot to go to the driver seat of the helo. Under Events-Action: Redirect Group "Blue Team Pilot to
Waypoint 125 - SSN XX; where SSN number of the helo. (see page 20 of MED manual). You don't need a trigger. This way when the game starts, the
pilot will go to the drivers seat and start the helo. See page 15 of the MED manual.
2. Getting the helo to takeoff.
Note: It sounds like you want to do a coop mission. So I'll show you a method for coop (trigger area). For a single player mission you could make
it so that when you man the minigun, the helo takes off. SSN X ontop of SSN y. Let me know if you want to see that method too.
A. Add two area trigger markers. (see page 24 of the MED manual). Give it a name like "BlackHawk start area". Be sure that both markers are
assigned to this area. You'll see a rectange on your screen that forms the trigger area.
B. Move the area trigger so that they enclose the area around the BlackHawk helo.
C. In the events, set up a trigger for the Blue team in the above area. Example: Group-Area Trigger, group = Blue team, and area = "BlackHawk
start area".
D. And now set the Delay of the above Event to something like 30 secs. Top right hand corner of the Events screen. With 0 delay, the pilot would
take off as soon as one blue team entered the area.
In the Actions section, Redirect the Blackhawk to the flight path waypoints, and set the Combat & Patrol speed to something like 30mph.
3. Getting the helo to land.
A. For the last waypoint in the path, set the height to 0.
4. Have friendlies follow.
Note: I'm not sure about getting blue teammates A/I to follow you in coop mission. It's do-able for single player mission.
For single player mission, see page 20 of the MED manual. Redirect Group X to goto Player 127.
Hope this helps.
