Flagpole HALO (ACE)

[frosties 10]

Hello,

Been searching the forum and trying to find information on how to add the HALO option to a flagpole.

What i would like is that when we respawn in base after being killed, we can HALO or parajump on a selected spot instead of having to drive or fly there again.

Can somebody point me in the direction i need?

Found this on the ACE website , but cant figure out where to put it:

_unit addweapon "ACE_ParachutePack" or "ACE_ParachuteRoundPack";_unit setPos [(position _unit select 0), (position _unit select 1), 800];_unit execVM "x\ace\addons\sys_eject\jumpout_cord.sqf";

Yes i have that in my mission right now.

But i would like the ACE HALO function, with the steerable parachute, windspeed and such..

mia389 posted an ACE version in the comments of my page:

0 = [this] execVM “halo.sqfâ€;

if (_this select 0==player) then {
    waitUntil {alive player};
         _unit = player;
         _unit addweapon “ACE_ParachutePackâ€; 
         _unit setPos [(position _unit select 0), (position _unit select 1), 3000];
         _unit execVM “x\ace\addons\sys_eject\jumpout_cord.sqfâ€;
};

ive tried that but it wont work, not for me anyway.

The mapclick thing works, but i wont get airborne just get teleported to the location i click.

Maybe i dont put the script in properly.. ?

the first line should go intot he init of the flagpole and the other code in halo.sqf ?

I really appreciate script examples, but when you dont know how/where to put the script it doesnt make much sense :D

Here's a demo mission for ACE showing that code at work.

init of flagpole:

this addAction["HALO Jump", "flagpoleHALO.sqf"];

flagpoleHALO.sqf:

haloed = true;
hintSilent "Click on the map where you'd like to HALO. You will be jumping from 2500 meters.";
onMapSingleClick "player setPos _pos; [player] execVM 'halo.sqf'; haloed = false;hint 'Close the map and don''t forget to open your chute!'";
waitUntil{!haloed};
onMapSingleClick "";

halo.sqf:

if (_this select 0==player) then {
    waitUntil {alive player};
    _unit = player;
    _unit addweapon "ACE_ParachutePack";
    _unit setPos [(position _unit select 0), (position _unit select 1), 2500];
    _unit execVM "x\ace\addons\sys_eject\jumpout_cord.sqf";
};

ACE related questions belong in the ACE thread. Not really a topic one can miss due to its popularity I would say :)
