Title: Sit player in Specific Seat in Helo
Post by: Blip on 06 Aug 2004, 05:21:17
Hey All-

I was wondering how you would go about moving a player into a specific seat in a helo. ???
In my case, I want him sitting out the door of a huey.

I read alittle about moving in game logics first, but it didn't develop passed that.  

Thanks in Advance!   ;D

The short answer is no, there is not any way to make them sit in the door without modifying the actual model of the vehicle itself.

Actually the short answer is yes.   Well, the long answer is yes anyway.     olseric is tecnically correct, there is no direct way of doing it.   However, as so often in OFP, there is a workaround.

The game fills the cargo seats in a specific order.   If you want the player to be in particular seat then you must fill all the preceding seats.    If you want these seats to have loons in them that's easy, just put them in first.   If you want them to be empty put a gamelogic in them.   Or a mixture of both.     Treat GLs like ordinary loons in this case:  create them somewhere on the map, name them, and use moveInCargo commands.     GLs are

You cannot make him sit where there isn't a seat unless, as olseric says, you alter the model.

If you're already using addons, or you don't care if you do, the BAS Littlebirds have the "door seat" if I remember correctly.

Not sure what you're doing in the mission, so  I don't know if this will help or not.

Thanks All for the quick reply!

I moved in Game Logics first and found the seat I wanted him to be in.  
Thank you all.
