Force Parachute and/or turn off HALO mid air.

[rejenorst 18]

I am doing a mission were one of your tasks is to help a fellow squad member open his reserve parachute.

I have HALO working etc etc

What I am trying to figure out is if there is a way to get a unit who is using HALO to force open his parachute? Have looked through the actions lists but there is nothing there.

Failing that a way to disable HALO in mid air would also be good.

Keep in mind that the unit needs to be able to move around during the halo script which is why I am not just using the halo anim and activating the halo script after task completion.

Thanks.

I'd mix it with an Honor System and an action on the disabled guy. Add an action that is 'fix chute' or something, then have the first guy not deploy till he gets the message from the action or go ahead from the second guy.

Or try to deal with overriding core scripts, or coming up with a separate HALO system, or deal with the fact that the default one might not even work at all. :P

Actually, rip open the HALO script, find what adds the action and remove that, then reopen it when the addaction publicVariables some variable later maybe? Might have to replicate the HALO stuff though, but should work.

Hi, thanks for the speedy reply. Its a SP mission not a MP but your right I may have to extract the Halo_init.sqs from the pbo. Alternatively I could kill him before he hits the ground.

Now I am looking at ways of killing a unit without bloodying him.
