Title: Auto-Hover
Post by: Captain Crunch on 04 Apr 2007, 17:00:02

Another problem! This time I have looked around and have found out that what I would like to do just doesn't work. Still I'd like to ask where the pros are.

I would like to make the chopper, in which I am the gunner, auto-hover and cancel it at will through radio triggers. So I have two triggers, one Alpha and the other Beta in which's On Activation Field I typed:

Code: [Select]

Chopper Action ["Autohover", Chopper]
Neither function. I have found on a website that it only works if player is pilot.

It used to work in OFP I believe. Can anyone help me on this one? Thank You.

Cobra mission (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?s=b8aaa50a455cc271a964ee552f8c1a12;act=ST;f=67;t=57182;st=0) is a mission made by Maxqubit and released on the official forums (user missions).

It makes it possible for the player to switch pilot/gunner seat. I believe this is done with several commands (behaviour careless, never fire, doMove.., flyInHeight ..) it might be interesting to check the scripts used in the mission.

And yes I do know that I haven't solved nor answered your original question, will try to do that when this method doesn't work.
