Devastator_cm 434 Posted September 11, 2016 Hi All, I am using ACE 3 and RHS. My goal is to paradrop some crates when C130 reaches a waypoint. I created a box which is on ground and want to load it into C130 by a code. Any idea how to do this with ACE3 load?I thought loadcargo [box, c130, false] Should do the trick but didn't work out. In addition to that simple unload cargo will drop the box with parachute right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tazmania720 16 Posted September 12, 2016 You can do an airdrop with vanilla support modules. I would not suggest using the c130. I just tried it and the AI didn't do very well and took to long to get lined up, taking two passes at least to get lined up. The supply drop module has an init line that you can call your crate contents with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could attach the crate to the plane, detect when the plane is near the waypoint, and then detach the crate when its near. Put this in the init of the crate and name your crate something like "Crate1" and name the plane something like "Plane". this disableCollisionWith plane; //Just in case they collide, no boom this attachTo [plane,[0,0,-1]]; //attach it to the plane, fiddle with the position You can use a trigger to make the plane drop the crate. Put this in the condition field of the trigger: Plane in thisList; Put this in the act field of the trigger: detach Crate1; //off it goes Chute = "B_Parachute_02_F" createVehicle position Crate1; //Create the chute Chute attachTo [Crate1, [0,0,1]]; // attach the chute to the crate You'll have to mess around with it, its not tested but should work.

Devastator_cm 434 Posted September 12, 2016 I will give a try to that one but I don't know why such simple action needs scripting in the first place :(Plane should paradrop the objects if the waypoint is "unload cargo"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devastator_cm 434 Posted September 12, 2016 I just noticed that RHS mod brings new waypoints. There is paradrop cargo waypoint which works perfectly (at least in mission review). I will try it now in dedicated server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
