MarcusJClifford 1 Posted October 30, 2002 Can someone create a liferaft addon that is based on a simple boat. Requirements No Power (so cant move) 1 position (e.g. cargo) Yellow/Red style liferaft as in reality If the addon can be made I will write a script that deploys the liferaft when a pilot/person ejects over water and lands in the water. and sits them in it awaiting rescue.

acidcrash 0 Posted October 31, 2002 if you fell in the water, how do you plan on getting into the raft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted October 31, 2002 With a script... thats what he just said! CWK made a few zodiak rafts, they can be found on ofp.info on the misc page or ofp-zone.de in the vehicles section. They move though... just a little config edit and you can fix that though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted October 31, 2002 Yep, I was gonna suggest the same thing...just set fuel to 0 if you don't want it moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steam 0 Posted October 31, 2002 mmmm i presume u want the life raft for ai? otherwise the player would be stranded in the middle of the sea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PFC_Mike 2 Posted October 31, 2002 how do they get back to base? It would be nice if you could do this without a script, but I understand. It just make it less useful for SP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadsoldier 0 Posted October 31, 2002 say u did the raft, and u made it deploy when you labnd in water...how are you gonna leave the raft and get into the plane when rescue comes. u have to press "get out" so u can get in choppr. but this means when u get out..you wil lfall in water..so maybe u can script it so that when u get out..it would place you standing inthe raft..and make the raft surface a roadway so u can walk on it...this way u can get in the rescue chopper. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtvor 0 Posted October 31, 2002 well, if you didn't want the raft to move, you could make it a static object right from the start...just script it to appear upon impact with the water and move the player onto it so that the player starts out sitting down. When the helo comes over, the player can stand up, and hop in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ludovico Technique 0 Posted October 31, 2002 How about just a lifejacket for pilots so they don't sink/die in water? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instead of a engine sound you could add a swimming sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarcusJClifford 1 Posted October 31, 2002 Wow lots of responses so far The script will be something like - it pilot ejected and altitude < 1 then camCreate liferaft and pilot moveInCargo liferaft. To leave the raft I will 'cheat' a bit and use - if distance between helicopter and raft is < 2 then addAction "Climb in helicopter" this will do a pilot moveInCargo helicopter and a camDestroy the liferaft. I will try to do it with a standard boat to prove the script, and then replace the boat with the liferaft when it is done. I already have scripts for heli pickups and smoke etc to use for the actual rescue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
