Darkdrak 0 Posted June 8, 2017 Roy will there be a tow script in po4? mostly for the planes on the carrier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roy86 367 Posted June 9, 2017 Hmm, I had not planned a towing script. When would you tow a plane rather than using it's own power? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realism factor, say you are using a carrier and want to get it to the proper launch area. . . Or if you have it stored in a shed or something too and have a mod with jet back blast damage on. . . . . Those are the only things that I could see it useful for though . . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawndartleo 109 Posted June 9, 2017 Like everyone else I love things that add to the immersion but I'd rather see some believable animations from the deck crew. I know this is outside of the scope of Roys work, but that my take on what carriers ops are missing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted June 9, 2017 "Advanced Towing" by Duda is a system that already exists. It comes as a fully scripted system for integration into missions , or optionally as a serverside only addon which injects the code into the clients He also created "Advanced rapelling" and "Advanced sling loading", which also comes as a serverside addon or scripted system. This would be your better option if you want additional functionality. We use it and I highly recommend it and the others he makes It is useful when you need to send a player back to collect vehicles, they can chain them together and bring 4 trucks back with one driver etc (If you config to allow that) It is good for recovering stuck vehicles (On walls) or vehicles that have turned over after bouncing of a 1 inch rock The beauty of the system is its simplicity and functionality. You walk up to the towing vehicle and via an addaction you collect the rope which then "attaches itself to you", you then walk up to the vehicle you want to recover and you attach it via an addaction, job done. Weight/Mass of the vehicles effect towing speed and towing capability and it does have a decent immersion factor Also you would now have another mission option. "Recover vehicle" @Roy, if you haven't seen these addons/scripts, they are definitely worth checking out and are so easy to use and implement I have no idea what sling loading system you will have in PO4, most likely a derivative of the PO3 system, this would replace that and dare I say be an improvement..Defintely worth checking out. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roy86 367 Posted June 9, 2017 @terox Thank you, I don't know how I missed those. Seems far better than my old version so I'll replace the current basic logistic system with an integrated version of the towing and sling loading. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I second that suggestion..I love all of dudas advanced scripts..even the Train mod/script is great on Tanoa..by far my favorite is the Towing script..I use it in all of the stuff I edit and love it!

If you change the global variable names can you define the one that stops the addon version loading, otherwise we would end up with 2 sets of actions 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackheart_Six 283 Posted June 12, 2017 Hi Roy, Just curious, what do you plan to charge for this product, your investing so much of your time on? How long have you been doing this? Since Patrol Ops 1, correct? Zero dollars right? Keep up the good work.....Thanks for your efforts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Axion 7 Posted June 13, 2017 Absolutely amazing. Sad thing is that's something BIS should've done, not end-user. tbh, I was very disappointing when I had first time I put my hands on USS freedom. They could've done more and better for players. I heard that we are going to have Malden in end of June along with release of Project Agro. I was wondering that are you also working on Malden too or just working on current vanilla maps? (Stratis, Altis, and Tanoa) Also don't you have paypal or patron for donation? I'm pretty sure including myself and some others will like to appreciate your work and dedication and willing to support this up. Great work, Roy. ps. I'm now getting this feeling that you are now really enjoying the teasing of others.. haha 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I intend to release it just after the next update to ensure no bugs crop up so might have time to include a Malden version. 1 hour ago, Axion said: Also don't you have paypal or patron for donation?
