Title: My tailrotor-failure script
Post by: Nemesis6 on 28 Jul 2004, 00:59:07

I edited Icarus' fire script(a lot) and added the turning stuff and all. Then I added Vektorboson's smoke(which I edited quite a bit, too) and finally, I added a little explosion effect for the tailrotor position. Anyway, here it is -

(By the way, the particle position is based on the AH-64, so if you want to use it on other choppers, you'll have to adjust the position)

I tested it.... Seems nice! the smoke effect looks cool... I think though, that the chopper spins a little bit too fast, making it spin slower would look cool ;)

Or maybe it would have a parameter for spinning speed? ;) Otherwice, nice, though I haven't seen the original script.... :P

Hey! Now i can't find where this Script is located at for Download.
I really need a Tailrotor Script.

And since i can't find it in the editors depot Nor anything in the FAQ (FAQ not wokring for me), Maybe some of you guys here maybe have it?  ;D

Thank you!

Here you go.

Code: [Select]

; SYNTAX

; MAXKILLS is maximum of randomkills

Ahh Many thanks!  :)

By the way.. Is their anyway i can change the Speed on how fast it should spin.
Because i get a headache everytime it spins.  :o

?_AddDir < 5: _AddDir = _AddDir + 0.05

Changing the 0.05 or the 5 number might do it. Thats just reading the script through, I havnt done it, and im not a scripter either :P
