[Snipplet] Open ghosthawk doors based on altitude

[wyattwic 38]

Here is my neat little snipplet that will open ghosthawk doors based on altitude.

I couldn't find one already out there, so here it is.

Somewhere in the vehicle init

null = [this] execvm "ghosthawkdoors.sqf";

ghosthawkdoors.sqf

	
_unit = _this select 0; 


_doorstate = false;
while {alive _unit} do {
	_alt = getposatl _unit select 2;


	// If under 10 altitude and doors are already closed, open them.
	if ((_alt <= 10) && !(_doorstate)) then {
		_unit animateDoor ['door_R', 1]; 
		_unit animateDoor ['door_L', 1];
		_doorstate = true;
		};


	// If over 10 altitude and doors are open then close them.
	if ((_alt > 10) && (_doorstate)) then {
		_unit animateDoor ['door_R', 0]; 
		_unit animateDoor ['door_L', 0]; 
		_doorstate = false;
		};

	//Slow the script down some.  This is not a critical loop.
	sleep 7;
};

This setup assumes that the doors are closed on start by default, as BIS had them set.

If anyone sees an error, it would be a big help.

That's great. Beats the hell out of setting open or close at different waypoints. Thanks for posting this.

Oh neat. Cheers.

(_doorstate == false)

Shouldn't the condition be just !(_doorstate) ?

while {alive _unit} do {
       _alt = getposatl _unit select 2;


       // If under 10 altitude and doors are already closed, open them.
       if ((_alt <= 10) && !(_doorstate)) then {
           _unit animateDoor ['door_R', 1]; 
           _unit animateDoor ['door_L', 1];
           _doorstate = true;
           };


       // If over 10 altitude and doors are open then close them.
       if ((_alt > 10) && (_doorstate)) then {
           _unit animateDoor ['door_R', 0]; 
           _unit animateDoor ['door_L', 0]; 
           _doorstate = false
           };

       //Slow the script down some.  This is not a critical loop.
       sleep 7;
   };

Yea, that works. What I get for seeing almost anything as a string. Updating it.

EDIT: that and I found a few syntax errors. lol.

No worries. Post the updated version. Neat little script it is.

Sweet idea.

Personally, I would rather check for both the altitude AND the velocity of the chopper.

[BEAKSBY 11]

Do closed doors improve the top speed of the aircraft?

Curious if the simulation is that detailed?

[Tajin 349]

I highly doubt it.

Though you could easily script them to do that.
