Ok, guys,
After going thru the pains of trying to get a helicopter
working, I read a post about making a prefab from
one of the maps that come with COD4, and pasting
it into a map your building. So, I did this, and then I decided it
was a little more difficult to see the full picture of what
was going on, so I create an image with the descriptions
of each node. I decided to share this with everyone.
What I've done is opened the map:
\map_source\mp_backlot_geo.map
and highlighted (selected) the entire helicopter path, saved
it as a prefab, called it, of course, heli_path.map,
then LOADED it into my map I am working on.
This image is what I created to help me see the full
picture of the entire path. YOU WILL NOTE that the RED
CRASH PATH looks like it connects with the TARGETNAME of auto467,
but that is not the case. This is a 2D image. The crashpath is
actually above the BLUE path. (I have included both formats of
JPG and PNG)
Here is the image to download:
heli_path.JPG heli_path.PNG
And of course, if you want to EXPERIENCE this in my map, we
are COD4, version 1.5, |*USMC*|SniperClan EXTREME
Here is a look at ONE of our maps

woah that image must have taken some time to do, nice work.

Thanks Rasta,
I am just a big believer in DETAILS so a person can learn how to do something. I used to teach in College, so I have learned
how to approach the subjects. Yes, it took about 3 hours to put
that together... Just think. If IW would have a person or two
committed to doing things like this, we would all understand
EVERYTHING about map making, as far as RADIANT and COD series...

Where was this when I was pulling my hair out.:) Nice job.
