Title: paras
Post by: Davies1 on 26 Aug 2002, 14:48:54

hi how do i make people eject from a heli, can I do it with triggers?
Also how can I make other units start in parachutes?
I would like some soldiers/marines to simulate a para regiment...

If you place some Paratroopers on the map and name them. (e.g. Para1 etc.) then make your Marines and place in their init field the command ----- this MoveInCargo Para1--------Then the Marine begins as a parachuter.
You can do the same with triggers by putting in the On Activation field --------Marine1 MoveInCargo Para1----------

Cheers for the help.
