Shoot down a helo then have it repaired after

[Redline 0]

in other words i want the player to see the helo get shot down (0 health) and crash.

However when the player arrives I want the helo to be damaged with a wounded crew.

so can i kill the helo and crew then 'revive' them back?

Maybe make a script that maybe monitors the helos and crew altitude and sets their health once it reaches 0?

any ideas appreciated!

I was wondering... (i was gonna post this in a new topic, but i see there's no need to waste space)

Can you damage/destroy a chopper to the point where it has to land/crash without killing the crew/passengers?

My only thought would be making everyone eject when the chopper's damage gets close to 1; but when shot with a 125mm, there really is no "close" to 1....

Why is it that when I enter this thread, some weird music comes on???

Maybe this would work:

kill the helo

let it crash

save the position of the dead helo in a variable

move the dead helo off map

move a damaged helo to where the dead helo landed

so in effect just use 2 helos.

Well, at first glance I think this should work:

Detect when helo is !alive then;

helo SetDammage 0.8

pilot helo Set Dammage 0.8

gunner helo Set Dammage 0.8

(play around with the numbers)

U can find the exact syntax for selecting the pilot/gunner in the command reference.

Seems to me like this should work, or maybe you still will not be able to enter the helo after the crash.... anyway you will find out.

Turn the sound down on your PC ya pillock!

Maybe you could make a chopper get shot down, then make a trigger that activates when the chopper is dead. In the on activation box, put 'chopperdown=true' and move the dead chopper into the sea where it'll sink. Then you could put 'chopperdown' in the 'Condition of presence' box of a wounded chopper & crew.

Hope that works.
