Autonomous A.I. MEDEVAC/CASEVAC Demo with ACE Medical

One feature that's been missing in every single Arma game has been the ability for a.i. to autonomously evacuate their wounded. While various mods have been created for Arma II and III that allow players to summon a MEDEVAC helicopter, to my knowledge, no mods have ever existed that allow a.i. to accomplish this autonomously.

This is a major concern when it comes to realism. Most medical/first aid/damage mods in Arma have used an instant revive system in which downed players or a.i. can be healed on the spot and continue fighting. While this might be more fun than being CASEVAC'ed from a gameplay perspective, it changes the dynamic of operations if one side cannot inflict permanent losses against the other.

Luckily, autonomous a.i. medical evacuations can be achieved with a little bit of trigger-scripting. Using nothing but triggers that check for a unit's "Incapacitated" state and distance from friendly units, it is possible to script a simple process in which a group picks up their wounded and loads it into a CASEVAC/MEDEVAC vehicle.

Please let me know if you'd like to know my specific coding. The lack of realistic MEDEVAC in Arma has always been a thorn in my side, and I'd be glad to share how I made this!
