CRASH LAND

[ZIKAN]

Basicly have a script so that an aircraft would fly then crash land and be damaged,the pilot would remain intact albeit slightly wounded and be able to climb out of the wreckage of the aircraft.

Any offers?

AI or human pilot?

There is one....well was one it made the helicopter go down spinning(like in BHD) and then you could choose if you wanted the pilots to live or die.

yeah its nearly impossible to make that work with humans, unless you do sumthin so that an ai takes control of the plane.

the ai can control the plane, and decrease the drop speed of the plane/chopper for some reason.  just check out the blackhawk down script... the ai will crash perfectly,w ithout dying, while a human pilot always blows it up...

try setting the fuel to 0

unitname setfuel 0

[Jakerod]

It would still collapse on them though it just wouldnt explode.

[tai mai shu]

hmm, maybe do a really quick loop that checks if they gain damage, than set back to 0, but this usually wont work without modifying the onplayerkilledorwhatverthenameis.sqs

It will be a human pilot, for an escape and evasion mission.

Impossible. You will always die during the crash. You can make an intro where AI pilot crashes and in the mission human pilot gets out from the wrackage.

You can use a trigger to check the height of the plane;

(GetPos PlaneName Select 2) < 10

And then the activation line grabs the pilot out and moves him to a safe distance. to the ground.  If you make it a cutscene then you can just replace the human pilot with an AI one.  And swap back.  If you want to do it real time with a human player, its going to be messy.

You could check the height of the player, and if it is 25 feet, he blacks out, and then wakes up in the wreckage later on (maybe 10 minutes)...

The WW2 Engineer Corps has a crash'n'burn script in which the plane goes down with a fire and smoke trail.

Do only want a plane to crash or could it be a helicopter.

If i'ts a helicopter i've already made a pretty good script that works with human pilots. You can never die with this one. The helicopter also spins until it hits the ground, then smoke comes out, plus a little shockwave.

Could you maybe post it here so other people can use it?

[Bluelikeu]

Alrieght ill post it, but first i gotta organize it.

It's looks like a hurricane went through my computer.
