How to make helicopters sling load vehicles??

[Coolinator 10]

I tried using sling load module but it didn't work. :(

I found a script but it only works on placed editor Helis. :(

Also, anyone knows how to make a helicopter have a sling load option, even if the heli got destroyed and then respawn?

Well see the way the script works is the addActions are actually set on the player. And also it will look for the vehicles, nothing to do with anything else ...

I'll try and replicate your results though and see if I also get this error.

Ok i just went through testing it with using the Light Vehicle Respawn Script and I tried the chopper respawning which still worked and then I tried the vehicle that was to be slinged respawning and both and it still worked D:

Did you test it with Tempest Device truck? because i have mission that has a Tempest device truck, and i want the truck to be slinged by helicopter and bring back to the base to finish the mission.

I just want Heli still be able to sling load, just in case if the heli got destroyed and respawned. So far, i couldn't find a way :(

You put this in init.sqf right? (just making sure)

null = [] execVM "auxslingloading.sqf";

not in the helicopters init?

Have you actually tried killing the yourself and respawn?

i tested it multiple times, sling load option wont come out :(

Becuase the way i test it, is i crash the heli with myself inside the heli, and me and the heli both just crashed on the ground and then both of us will respawn. You probably tested it just by destroying the heli, not killing youself and respawning?

Your right ... I broke the respawn action ... Just fixed it!

The link is updated

[bolbies 13]

Is there any way you could make the script work for units as well?

Do you mean sling people? ... there are parts you will need to edit to do that.

Ahh kk, Thank you so much Lala!!!:)

[Lexstock 10]

Try with this :)

setSlingLoad

I tried this, but I get "Type Bool, expected nothing". I can't figure out why tho.

Haha no I mean to give your units the order to sling tanks and others using your script.

lol, name your cargo, example "veh1" and continue name with your copter mmm name it "heli1"... so in the init of the chopter write

init:

 heli1 setSlingLoad veh1;

Ok so there is two ways, you can actually command the AI to attach the vehicle using the action menu (6)

or

You can do this

 [unit, vehicle to attach, [model space rope positions], vehicle classname (how much we want the helicopter to think it is carrying)] spawn AuxSling_fnc_TheAttaching; 
//e.g
[player,veh1,[], "I_Quadbike_01_F"] spawn AuxSling_fnc_TheAttaching; 
//or if you have some positions
[player,veh1,[[1,3,0],[1,-3,0],[-1,3,0],[-1,-3,0]], "I_Quadbike_01_F"] spawn AuxSling_fnc_TheAttaching; 

[Ulfgaar 30]

Im using this:

 H1 setslingload Veh1; 

The chopper being H1, and the mini-sub being Veh1.

I still end up with the message "Type Bool, expected nothing". This is sort of frustrating...

Any thoughts on whats wrong, or advice on getting this to work?

You're putting the code in the unit's init field or in a trigger, right?

It needs a variable to return the boolean into:

nul =  H1 setslingload Veh1;

[Ulfgaar 30]

Im placing the code in the choppers init field. Also tried for the sake of it to put it in the designated cargo's inits field. Both turn up the same.

When i used the code you linked here, it worked. Thanks alot.

nul =  H1 setslingload Veh1;

THIS WORKS! Whoopey!
