Chopper set Height

[Funkman 10]

Hi,

I searched the forums (as I always do) but couldnt find anything, I think the search function here is not much good.

Anyway, I just want to know how to set the height of a hovering chopper. I tried setPosATL, and set it to higher than it was, it starts there, but just decends back down to the level it was at before...

Thanks.

If you wish for the helicopter to be immediately at your preferred height, use something like the following:

_alt = x;
heli setPos [(position heli select 0),(position heli select 1),_alt];
heli flyInHeight _alt;

And, obviously, replace x with your height value and heli with the name you've given to your helicopter. If you wish for the helicopter to descend to your preferred altitude, use:

_alt = x;
heli flyInHeight x;

Keep in mind that flyInHeight only activates when an aircraft has a waypoint assigned to it. Hope that helps!

Thanks that works great.

Can I ask another couple of questions please?

1) How do you end and intro sequence?

2) Are there any effects I can apply in an intro to make it look like a camera is through some kind of FLIR or Optical system in a helicopter? (I dont have OA)?

Thanks again.
