Title: JetRangerSilent???
Post by: Krieg on 28 Dec 2009, 15:57:41

I was sweeping through OFPEC OFP CfgVehicles and found chopper that I never seen before, JetRangerSilent.
(http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/cfg_images/OFP/JetRangerSilent.jpg)

Tried createUnit-ing it to missionete, using following script:

Code: [Select]

"JetRangerSilent" createUnit [getMarkerPos "a", groupAlpha, loon1 = this, 0.6, "corporal"]Placed marker, but chopper never appeared.

My questions are:

1) Is this chopper actual chopper, hoax, or just extremely small object?
2) What's wrong with my script (why chopper does not appear)?

I think it's a OH58 Kiowa (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/cfg_images/OFP/OH58.jpg) with some parts hidden (the radome and missile launchers).

You can't createUnit it if it's not configured to have an AI pilot. Try createVehicle (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=86&game=All) instead:

_helo = "JetRangerSilent" createVehicle getMarkerPos "a"

Didn't work. Nothing showed up. I tired replacing JetRangerSilent with heat73. That did not show up either.

Worked for me. It's a tiny, unflyable Remote Control model. Once it's created, you have to wait 20-30 seconds before you can get in. I used the following in a Radio Alpha trigger, with a marker named "spot":

helo = "JetRangerSilent" createVehicle getMarkerPos "spot"

Maybe the "_" made the difference?  ;)

Edit: Tired without it, nothing appeared.

To solve the problem of created vehicles being inaccessible for several seconds, reveal (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=272&game=All) the vehicle to the player.

Thanks for reply, Bedges, but it did not work.
I tried

Code: [Select]

_helo reveal playerand vice versa. Still no helicopters appearing.

Thanks, Bedges!
It is fun little chopper, except the fact that it spins out of control every time you try to use it. :laugh:
