Title: vehicles in planes
Post by: dodgeman55 on 29 Jul 2006, 17:15:48

i see some plane addons, like a C-130 hercules, boast that they can transport vehicles, but how?

Do you mean how it can be used in missions so that you can drive a vehicle in it, or what they have done with the model and scripting etc?

I know that there's a few addons out there that support that feature. The Hercules addon can indeed load a jeep or something like that, and it works.

i believe its done through scripting....but im neither an addon make nor a scripter if you ask in that forum though they may tell you
the BAS chinook could "strap" down certain vehicles inside it though a menu when yoiu got close enough

I suggest you read the readmes that come with each addon. I believe the scripting is fairly limited ; only certain vehicles that are coded into the aircraft can be "strapped in". For instance with the BAS addon, you can put up to ten KLR 250 bikes into the back of the Chinook, or a single normal Jeep. This is done by driving up the ramp and, when in the appropriate location, an action will appear that will allow you to "lock cargo down".

Anyway, read the readmes, boyos. If they don't give ya instructions, then well...  8)

in some cases this is done by loading a gamelogic with a "model" configged to it, into the cargo space of a vehicle

so if the vehicle can load say a hmmwv, there will be a model of a hummvee attached to a humvee logic, which is used to represent the vehicle inside the aircraft. The actual vehicle may then be deleted or setpossed ready for recreation, re setpossing once the cargo is unloaded, via user/addactions
