Title: paras again, sorry :D
Post by: Davies1 on 06 Sep 2002, 00:09:05

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows how I can make a para drop simulation?

I know how to radio in aircraft using a simple fly by trigger but when the plane appears I would like to see some men jump out of it and then continue on an attack route, how cani do this?
Is there a way of doing it with triggers (like setpos etc?)

I have seen this done before but have no clue :P
Cheers in advance.

hi!,
i don't know what you want to do exactly.
Try looking in the editors depot of this web, there are several good scripts that could help you,
Look in parachuting section.

yes please.
I got a parachute script but I would rather know if it can be done with triggers- like the men jumping out when they pass into the combat zone trigger and carry on ther waypoints etc, scriptings a bit...yeah.. for me :P

hi again, its easy soldier!

1st. donload the script called ejecting a group from a helicopter. You can find it here:
http://www.ofpec.com/editors/snippet_cat.php?id=4

2nd. Put the sqs file into your mission folder, ok?

3rd. Put a waypoint (for the chopper)were you want the group to be ejected.

(before continuing i suposse that you have already named your chopper/aircraft and the group you that you want to eject.)

in the "on activation" field of the waypoint, type this:
[groupname,choppername] exec "groupeject.sqs"

And that's all.

I hope this can help you. ;) :D
