Basic Jet Ejector Seat Script

[magicpanda 19]

I've got a very basic ejector seat script working while BI sort their stuff out. I so often get killed on Eject. This is safe.

Hoping someone with better scripting knowledge than my beginner shite can tidy it up, make it work better for all jets perhaps? :)

Make a jet call it jet1.

in the init

this addAction ["<t color='#FF6600'>EJECT</t>", "ejector.sqf", "", 0, false, false, "", "player IN jet1"];

ejector.sqf - This will fling you upwards at 50 metres per second and with a bit of forward momentum in the direction of travel.

player setPos [ getPos vehicle player select 0, getPos vehicle player select 1, (getPos vehicle player select 2) +5]; player setvelocity [80 * (sin (getdir vehicle player)), 80 * (cos (getdir vehicle player)),50];

Hi Magicpanda!

I've also just created an Addon (didn't see your forum post). Maybe you want to take a look at it:

The difficulties were that you get ejection in the correct direction if the plane has bank, for example, or if it is flying upwards down. You might take a look and tell me what you think about :)
