Status: offline 		Do anyone knows how to gets an AI halftrack to drive to a point, drops its men, then moves on to another point? I tried to set the waypoints for the men different from the halftrack, but the halftrack keeps on moving blithely along withs its load.

Status: offline 		Familiar problem...I am not sure of Halfie but AI does drive trucks away from the field when it has unloaded them. But it can't unload if it has too much supression, -so trucks retreat with their loads. This just a suggestion as I am not sure of routine how unloading happens for AI, but this has worked for me: Set objective for a truck, keep its 'way' clear of enemy if you want truck to drive all the way. Truck should unload when it has reached its objective. But it can load it again if there is nothing to take and AI desides to move on towards interesting VOs. And remember: You can get every vehicle unloaded by shooting it. While now in truck-business, little warning: Set objective also to the trucks load. Otherwise trucks and loads have same road as Load is going to 0.0 and truck is going to retreat-hex... mosh

Status: offline 		I am skeptical that this can be done. I've tried it without success but perhaps I hosed it up or recent upgrades in the game effect this. Please let us know the results of this. Thanks

Status: offline 		Sadly, Stuko's suggestion did not work. I test it with no opposition, the halftrack just moves on with its load. However, under fire, they do drop off the load when hit and I guess that is the best we can do.
