dkraver 1 Posted December 20, 2001 I was thinking when they can make some of the armored vehicles swim why can they add that to people so they can swim aswell. shouldnt be that hard or is it just me??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whisperFFW06 0 Posted December 20, 2001 I've never tried to swim with all the soldier stuff on me, but it could be pretty hard not to sink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damage Inc 0 Posted December 20, 2001 The water doesn't act like water, it's just ground textured blue and it has a "floor" underneath so swimming isn't possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why can m113, brdm, and the bmp swim then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damage Inc 0 Posted December 20, 2001 Because they have some sort of define that allows them to drive on the "floor" without them being destroyed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkraver 1 Posted December 20, 2001 and you cant make that on soldiers?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damage Inc 0 Posted December 20, 2001 I think yes. But that wouldn't be real swimming, just walking on the "floor" and that wouldn't be exactly realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete 1 Posted December 20, 2001 i think technically it would be a simple task to make them swim. but it is a matter of game design, the water is a obstacle, it is the limit for the map...so you can make a defence in a island and never have to worry for swimming troops to flank you. also, in real life....do you expect to be able to swim with a at4, ak74 + ammo + other eguipment?..you would sink like a rock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In open sea, the water is up to a 100 meters deep in places. The average ocean depth is around 50 meters. BMPs, etc. do float - i.e. they maintain height with surface and can easily float where the water is very deep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why everyone thinks that we would sink. I know for a fact US Marines makes everyone swim across a pool with full gear on. They learned from D-Day people. D-Day bunches just drowned and they didn't want that to happen anymore. So dont try and say its impossible in r/l. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoolCarlos2002 2 Posted January 11, 2002 they should Add NAVY Seal that can swim into water, and jump out from a chinook over the sea, so the chinook wouldnt need to go all over the base and make a lot of noise And that way you wouldnt be killed after your parachute is closed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I)eaI)Eye1809 0 Posted February 24, 2002 make it so that you could swim above water not go scuba diving or anything like that just make it so you can swim to shore and if you swim to long say about 10 min you sink and drown the army/marines get trained to swim with all that equpiment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-76-Chavez 0 Posted February 24, 2002 1.) You can even swim with the German MG3...  2.) I think its possible to make soldiers swim and even make them dive. I think you have to find a command that makes the unit unvulnerable by water.Then use the model of a soldier who is prone and use the controls like those of a helicopter (move up/move down). Then find out by the coordinates of the soldier wether he is underwater or above water.If he´s underwater add fog with blue/green color and 5m sight... I think that´s how it COULD be done... greetz [76]Chavez *TooDumbToMakeItRightSoWhoFindsMyMistakesFirst?* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walker 0 Posted March 1, 2002 I have made a wet suit model using the ship class It sort of works You dont see it much its under water. But it can move up to the coast and its driver / crew can get in and out. I use a re-skinned sabateur for the model and a normal sabateur for crew. There are a bunch of problems with the sound that I can not seem to be able to change. It may be something simple like a misplaced "/ " And if you aproach land too quick (more so if it is steep ie a cliff) it bounces into the air about 100 m whee! prety but use less. I have solved that by limiting aceleration and having it explode if you aproach a cliff too fast (your air bottle gets smashed on the rocks ?! Weak I know. The model can be seen some times if you get the right speed of run up. but untill I solve the height in water (it drops to the floor) I wont release it as beta.(I have an sqs that does this just need to make it cotrolable via menues) I had hoped to use oxygen both for this and a 60 mm M224 mortar as a static vehicle (standard three man crew) Pack it to move it. I guess I will have to email BIS to ask for a developer licence or whatnot. Regards walker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
