wouldnt a paradrop one from the editors depot work you can change the intervals aswell i use "mustang60348" one foe choppers and that works fine

[ThEoNeAnDoNlY]

the link i gave has a script that does exactly that, and it has worked for other people

[THobson]

A script I have used is:


; EjectGroup.sqs
; called by [] exec "EjectGroup.sqs"

_group = units <Put_Your_Group_Name_Here>
_count = count _group
_interval = 0.75

_i=0
#loop
_unit= _group select _i
_unit action ["eject",<Put_the_Name_of_your_chopper_here>]
unAssignVehicle _unit

_i=_i+1
if (_i >= _count) then {exit}

~_interval

goto "loop"

[Triggerhappy]

thats almost exactly what I put, except with mine you define the plane and the interval in your aguments, and it ejects all the cargo, not just specified units:
;called: [<planename>,<interval>] exec "ejection.sqs"
;Ejection.sqs

_plane = _this select 0
_delay = _this select 1
;eliminates all possible non-cargo units
_cargo = (crew _plane) - [driver _plane,commander _plane,gunner _plane]
_cargocount = (count _cargo) - 1
_i = -1

#loop
?_i == _cargocount:exit
_i = _i + 1
_man = _cargo select _i
_man action ["eject",_plane]
unassignvehicle _man
~_delay
goto "loop"

Looks pretty good to me. I can't see what the problem is.

; ==============================================================

;   BAIL SCRIPT,  the "one-by-one" classic for Operation Flashpoint (OFP)

; ==============================================================

; INSTRUCTIONS:  Replace "player" with grpLeader's actual unitName
; (or leave 'player' as  is, if player is grpLeader). Replace "Air1" with actual
; name of aircraft or helicopter from which the group is supposed to bail.

 _units = units Player
 _null = 0
 _count = count _units

 #Bail
 (_units select _null) action ["EJECT", Air1]
 unassignvehicle (_units select _null)
 _null = _null + 1

 ~0.600

 ?_count >_null: goto "Bail"

 exit

;===============================================================

; NOTE:
; You can fire this script using the following method :

; Set up a trigger (type=switch) and hit F2 and drag a group-line from
; trigger to plane/chopper. Then edit the radius of the trigger so that
; you ensure that the plane WILL fly into the trigger. This is best done
; by simply setting the radius to some 60 X 500 and then turn the trigger
; so the wide side is facing the direction in which the plane goes, just as
; if the plane would fly into a "wall", so to speak.

; Then, in the trigger's "activation" field you write:

;  [Player] exec "BAIL.sqs"    (put the script in the mission folder)

; (again: replace "player" with the name of the GrpLeader)  And that's all there is to it, m8.
