Hello Guys,

I am sorry for digging up a year-old thread but I find it most informative and helpful. It just does not fully suit to my needs. Let's say I have a chooper with walkable ramp and deck (Mi-6 Hook). I would like to drive in a car into a cargo compartment of the heli and lash the car exactly where it stands at the ramp. Could be possible to use things like ie. take position of the heli, take position of the car, compare both positions, and finally store a score/result as a XX, YY, ZZ in Gnat's script? That way we would not have to use memory points. I found a similar idea in cargo management of Mi-26 by mukcep however you can attach only one vehicle to it. I just want to have a possibility to attach a several objects to the chopper. It would be more realistic and flexible in the same time allowing for better cargo management. By objects I mean not only vehicles but also cargo palettes, boxes and small containers. Is there a way to change Gnat or mukcep's solutions to achieve that?

Allright, I was able to lash two vehicles inside the chopper using mukcep modified idea, however I can release (unlash) only the first one. The action for the second is visible but do nothing apparently. For sure, there is something I have missed or do not know. Should vehs variables be public to get it working?

			radius = 10;
			showwindow = 0;
			condition = "((vehicle player != this) and (vehicle player != player) and (speed vehicle this < 5))";

@NightIntruder ... try this below ...

Into your config use just one time the "mi6attach" and "mi6detach" scripts

Config.cpp

class Mi6_loadcargo
		{
			onlyforplayer = 0;
			displayName = "Lash 1st cargo";
			position = "zamerny";
			radius = 10;
			showwindow = 0;
			condition = "((vehicle player != this) and (vehicle player != player) and (speed vehicle this < 5))";
			statement = "[this, vehicle player, player] execVM ""\int73_mi6a\scripts\mi6attach.sqf""";
		};
		class Mi6_unloadcargo
		{
			onlyforplayer = 0;
			displayName = "Release 1st cargo";
			position = "zamerny";
			radius = 10;
			showwindow = 0;
			condition = "(vehicle player != this) and (vehicle player != player)";
			statement = "[this, vehicle player, player] execVM ""\int73_mi6a\scripts\mi6detach.sqf""";
		};

Then try these ...

mi6attach.sqf script

_plane = _this select 0;
_veh = _this select 1;
_player = _this select 2;
_d = direction _plane;
_dv = direction _veh;
_dv = _dv - _d;


_difx = (cos(_d))*((getpos _veh select 0) - (getpos _plane select 0)) - (sin(_d))*((getpos _veh select 1) - (getpos _plane select 1));
_dify = (cos(_d))*((getpos _veh select 1) - (getpos _plane select 1)) + (sin(_d))*((getpos _veh select 0) - (getpos _plane select 0));


if (ABS(_difx)>6) then
{
   hint ("The vehicle is not lined properly!");
if (true) exitWith {};
}
else
{
//_player setfuel 0;
_player action ["GetOut", vehicle _player];
_player disableAI "ANIM";  
_veh disableAI "ANIM"; 
_veh disableAI "MOVE"; 
//_veh setfuel 0;
sleep 0.01;
_difz = (getpos _plane select 2) - (getpos _veh select 2) + 6.0;
_veh allowDamage false;
//_player enableSimulation false;
hint format ["X1: %1 Y1: %2 Z1: %3", _difx, _dify, _difz];
_veh attachTo [_plane,[_difx,_dify,_difz]]; 
_veh setfuel 0;
sleep 0.01;
_difz = (getpos _plane select 2) - (getpos _veh select 2) + 6.0;
_veh allowDamage false;
//hint format ["X2: %1 Y2: %2 Z2: %3", _difx, _dify, _difz];
_veh attachTo [_plane,[_difx,_dify,_difz]]; 
_veh setDir _dv;
//_veh setfuel 0;
sleep 2;
//_veh enableSimulation false;
//_player enableSimulation true;
if (true) exitWith {};
};

mi6detach.sqf script

_plane = _this select 0;
_veh = _this select 1;
_player = _this select 2;
_null = objNull;

//detach _player;
detach _veh;
_veh attachTo [_null,[0,0,0]];
_player attachTo [_null,[0,0,0]];
_veh setfuel 1;
//_veh enableSimulation true;
_veh allowDamage true;

if (true) exitWith {};

By this way it is working fine on me.

Let me know if it also works for you.

I am sorry, I have not checked it carrefully. For the second vehicle I had to jump into a passanger seat to see action for release. Obviously, IT DOES WORK! Also I made bigger radius (20m). Thanks a lot Aplion for help :)

[Αplion 1122]

It does not work, I am affraid. Actually, it perfectly does for the first vehicle, but the second one even does not have the action of releasing cargo now. No matter at which seat I jumped into there is no action to release the second vehicle. I will try to make a radius bigger and we'll see, perhaps that's the problem. Anyway, thanks for input Aplion, I appreciate it really.

Have a look on that mate ...

I've been used these scripts as I told you above ..

Plus something more that came to me now ... in your config the useraction searches about a memory point or selection into the model which called "zamerny" ... are you sure that the model has such point or selection ?

[NightIntruder 710]

While you were writing these post I was editing my previous one :) Of course, your script works like a charm! Sometimes it needed from player to look at side to see an action but still it is far better then I did. All credits go to mukcep and you for this work. Again, big THANK YOU, you helped me a lot :)

[[aps]gnat 28]

If the action memory point is right beside some Geometry lod structure it usually assists making the action appear quicker to the player.

[NightIntruder 710]

You mean that I should copy&paste memory points responsible for action right into GeoLOD, close to some part of the model? Or just move them inside memory LOD near some GeoLOD's parts?

[[aps]gnat 28]

Yes, your last sentence.

[NightIntruder 710]

Roger that. I will review my model from this perspective. Thanks for hint Gnat :)
