Craig 0 Posted October 26, 2010 hello I'm having some bother with handy Rope tools. I downloaded the addon from this site http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=4049 I've folowed the instructions that came with it and I've been testing it and every time I right the script command in the way point config and run the game. the chopper reaches the waypoint and I get an on screen messege saying script "ht_rope.sqs" not found. have I installed it wrong?

Gunter Severloh 3949 Posted October 26, 2010 Hello, Do you have the script in the mission folder that you are doing the test on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted October 26, 2010 emmm I don't know. I extracted the @HT folder and put that in the same place as my PBO folders and I placed the mission file in the misssion folder on my C drive. was I ment to put that in my saved mission folder in my mydocs?

Gunter Severloh 3949 Posted October 26, 2010 This basically a mod, you put @HT in your main Arma directory and the HandyTools%20Rope%20-%20Demo.Intro in either your missions folder in the Main Arma directory, or put it in your users missions folder if you want to see it in the editor. The path for the users is this: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\ArmA \missions I tested it out works fine for me, you just installed it wrong.

Craig 0 Posted October 26, 2010 ok I've done that and I'm still getting no joy. when I type this command in the waypoint on act [heli1, 10, "hawk_1c", "pickup", tank1] execVM "ht\rope.sqf"; i get a messege in the waypoint menu saying type Script exspect nothing. I've to change the execVM to exec. then in game I get a messege at the top left of my screen saying '/#/ sleep 0.001 Erorr Generic Erorr in exspretion. So I guess it's trying to read the script. does this make sence to you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 3949 Posted October 26, 2010 I looked at it in the editor. what I would do is take whats in the demo mission and copy and paste what you need into your own mission test it out first, and when you get the full understanding of how things respond then add stuff. Thats why its a demo, to give you the idea, and show you what things do, then by that example you use or add what you specifically want for your mission.

Craig 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Yeah I've got it working now sort of. I looked at the sample mission and I was missing some bites from the scripting command. I was following the readme instructions. I've bin playing around with it and I've got it working I just carn't figer out how to make a chopper drop a vehicle. I've tryied the drop cargo as both a radio, trigger and a waypoint. I'm gonna keep playing around but if you have any tis I'd be greatfull Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
