Title: hold altitude
Post by: sharkattack on 18 Aug 2007, 11:22:08

how can i maintain the altitude of a chopper ? for use with halo script.

i can start it at any hight eg 2000 ft  using

this setPos[ getPos this select 0,getPos this select 1,2000 ]

but how do i prevent it from wanting to return to a lower altitude (about 500ft)   ???

many thanx

Place the chopper flying in the map, into its init field:

Code: [Select]

this flyinHeight 1500;this setPos[getPos this select 0,getPos this select 1,1500];this doMove getPos this

flyinheight has no effect if not followed by a move command. Also 1500m ~ 1550m seem be to maximum allowable altitudes for choppers in ArmA.
