Title: Scripting problem and question.
Post by: Danakin1 on 05 Jun 2008, 19:05:27

So I'm trying to write a script so that the Pilot Gets into Airwolf and takes off.  Right now I'm just trying to get the pilot into Airwolf. 
I named the pilot/unit dan and I named Airwolf/unit lady...  in the script, should I or can I call the airwolf, lady?
something like , dan DoMove GetPos Object (lady)
I'm trying to put this into the script that I have.  The script is having the camera pan around airwolf and I wanted pilot (dan) to get into or move to airwolf (lady).  Will OFP recognize this or does Airwolf need be be helicopter or something like that?

Even though this is about a specific addon to be used this is 'just' a normal editing/scripting question so I'll moved this here :)

Sure, there's only a few words you can't use as a name, at least almost all scandinavian letters won't work for example.

To get the pilot to board the chopper take a look at the orderGetIn (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=list&game=All&letter=o#241) command (and the comments given).

Could you not just use waypoints, and then use points in the script which wait, such as:

Code: [Select]

@airwolf in lady == true

I first tried waypoints and triggers, but I have no control over what the pilot does and it's sometimes pretty strange what the pilot does before getting into the chopper, like crawling on the ground and stuff like that. 
I want to control all the aspects so that I can control the cutscene.

once again a AI prob
put in init or cutscene
dan setbehaviour "CARELESS"; dan setspeedmode "LIMITED"       in his init, this will make him walk, then change it to NORMAL in a waypoint in you like

I meant, conrtol the ai through waypoints, and use a camera script to watch.

@Gcfungus if he wants too, he can add himself as player co-pilot to watch aswell. i often do this myself under command of an officer to see how he works in a mission.

Please only start one topic about a question, we don't like multiple topics about the same problem from the same person, things can get confused quickly.   :good:   :cool2:
