Title: Heli
Post by: nogreymatter on 12 Jan 2006, 22:13:59

I have a heli in a cutscean (its for a trailer for the campaign im making) that I want to explode while it unloads troops. Okay this is probably a n00b question but how do I make it explode (blow up) while its unloading troops?

Setdammage it to 1 and/or camcreate a shell at its position:
shell = "shell105" camcreate getpos HeliName

@yankme

same method as shells. Just change "shell105" to "smokeShell" or "smokeShellGreen" or whatever colour of smoke you prefer (provided of course that you prefer red or green - because there isn't any other colours to chose from).

@nominesine

shell = "shell105", "smokeShell" camcreate getpos HeliName  
what about this, i allways try something and i get an error so i end up makeing 2 lines or 2 triggers

shell = "shell105"  camcreate getpos HeliName
shell = "smokeShell" camcreate getpos HeliName

"shell105" camcreate getpos HeliName; "smokeShell" camcreate getpos HeliName

Just use a semicolon to separate the lines :)
I removed the naming shell = as it doesn't seem you need to name the rounds in your  case.

If you want to make the explosion more controlled, name your units un the chopper and have a condition.

Unitname not in heliname
then your explosion.

That way your explosion will always happen at the same time.

I say this because sometimes the chopper pilots land differently.
