Arma Tailrotor Failure Script

[the corinthian]

Hi

Does anyne know if the Vektorboson tailrotor script has been converted or Arma or if there is anything similar?

I tried porting the original script but with no success and I am a noob at scripting...

Cheers

May you copy here the script you are trying to convert ?

Hi

Ive tried creating a test example in the editor.

I have a heli called heli1 which has this flyinheight 150 in its init field.

I set a waypoiint to make it fly overhead - just a simple MOVE waypoint.

I then setup a trigger which detects if anybody is present inside it, plays a quick explosion sound as confirmation then has heli1 setdammage 0.8; heli1 setfuel 0 in its On Act box

When the heli reaches the trigger the explosion plays but the heli wont crash. Its as though it isnt even damaged and the fuel isnt lowered

I tried making a simple script which is passed a unit name then sets damage and 0 fuel in it but its no different.

Im using a clean install of Arma with the 1.08 patch. Any ideas?

I've sorted the problem out I had incorrectly named a unit - doh!

Vektorbosons script seems to work still apart from the drop commands - it doesnt recognise cl_fire.

I've used the built in version too but found the heli kept exploding when it hit the ground thus killing everyone inside. I'm thinking of having a trigger which automatically ejects the crew from the heli when it gets to say 3m so thats the next thing to work on.
