Thank you very much

Usually, the remarked header section of a script will tell you how to execute them if there is no associated ReadMe.txt file.  Try reading that.

Generally speaking, scripts are executed with the exec command.

[param1,param2,...,paramN] exec "ScriptName.sqs"

C.f. the ComRef for more information.

Here is a script for a HALO drop. That means that you fall for 95% of the drop, and the parachute opens really low. Great for Black Ops.

To init it:

[Parachutist, helicopter/plane to jump out of, a game logic exactly where you want them to drop (give or take 50m)] exec "halo.sqs"

example:

[aP,chopper1,markerdrop] exec "halo.sqs"

There you go. Happy Dropping!

Hey I tried this out with your file. But my guys always hit the ground. Smack bang.  Guess what someone forgot to pack the parachute. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong.
