AN EXTREMELY HARD SCRIPTING Q

[Rob 1]

is there any way of attaching a red flare to the inside of a heli even when its moving, and then when triggered it changes to a green one.

yes u guessed it. i want to try and give the atmosphere of the red and green light inside planes that when turn green means to eject.

The attaching part is easy, the rest not that easy.

fl_red - red flare

fl_green - green flare

trigg_act - 0 on beggining, 1 when trigger is activated

jeep - empty jeep somewhere on the map

heli - helicopter

-------------------------------------------------------------

fl_green setpos getpos jeep

#red_move

? (trigg_act == 1) : goto "green"

fl_red setpos getpos heli

~0.05

goto "red_move"

#green

fl_red setpos getpos jeep

#green_move

fl_green setpos getpos heli

~0.05

goto "green_move"

---------------------------------------------------------

Aww... Looking at this again tells me that it should start with a simple player exec "whatever.sqs".

OR [fl_red,fl_green,........ Na... never mind.

Just put an empty jeep and your chopper... Oh s**t....

But the flare is going to be floating in the middle of the chopper.....

Let's see... fl_red setpos getpos heli... :confused: :confused:

I can't remember the command to move an object in relation to another (i.e put it where the chopper is but a bit higher and to the left). S'HIT!!! Come on Brain..

(knock knock). d*amn.

If anyboby know's it please feel free to refresh my memory...

I think it's

flareWhatever setpos [getpos heli, getpos heli, getpos heli +1]

to raise it a bit higher, or something like that. Is that what you mean?

Also isn't there an add/remove object command added now? I thought I read that somewhere.

If it exists it would make it a bit easier. Just add item, time delay, remove item, add item, time delay, remove item.....in a loop.
