AdirB 18 Posted December 22, 2016 Hello, I've placed a helicopter and crew into it, then placed some waypoints, I noticed that the helicopter is flying too hight. I tried add flyInHeight to it but it didn't work, the helicopter keeps flying at the same height as before. _newGroup = createGroup west; huey = createVehicle ['uns_UH1D_m60', [5003.04,2815.03,-0.0327282], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; createVehicleCrew huey; (crew huey) join _newGroup; huey setDir 270.248; huey setFormDir 270.248; huey setPosASL [5003.04,2815.03,2.15442]; huey flyInHeight 130; _newGroup setFormation 'WEDGE'; _newGroup setCombatMode 'YELLOW'; _newGroup setBehaviour 'AWARE'; _newGroup setSpeedMode 'FULL'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[3951.13,2740.73,60.0124], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[2925.31,2624.3,42.4365], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[2223.6,2457.53,59.2037], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[2061.34,1288.5,76.865], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[879.747,2052.24,-2.28882e-005], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devastator_cm 434 Posted December 24, 2016 instead of this huey flyInHeight 130; try (huey select 0) flyInHeight 130; so give the height not to whole array but just to helicopter. Also give the z coordinate to the waypoints properly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devastator_cm 434 Posted December 24, 2016 hmm I thought you are using BIS functuion Can you try this code and inform me? _newGroup = createGroup west; huey = [[5003.04,2815.03,2.15442], 270.248, "uns_UH1D_m60", _newGroup] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle; (huey select 0) flyInHeight 130; _newGroup setFormation 'WEDGE'; _newGroup setCombatMode 'YELLOW'; _newGroup setBehaviour 'AWARE'; _newGroup setSpeedMode 'FULL'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[3951.13,2740.73,60.0124], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[2925.31,2624.3,42.4365], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[2223.6,2457.53,59.2037], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[2061.34,1288.5,76.865], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[879.747,2052.24,-2.28882e-005], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the helicopter started with the engine above ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
road runner 4344 Posted December 24, 2016 are you not missing the bold part? Also is the name of the Huey appearing as Huey in the vehicle attributes? this Huey FlyinHeight 30 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devastator_cm 434 Posted December 24, 2016 ok if you want it to be on the ground with engine off then we are back to the command instead of function I set the attitude to 40 meters. Also put the 40 meter to z coordinate of each waypoint as you can see. I used vanilla helicopter as I don't have huey :) It looks to me working give a try please _newGroup = createGroup west; _huey = createVehicle ['B_Heli_Transport_01_F', [1770,5543,-0.0327282], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; createVehicleCrew _huey; (crew _huey) join _newGroup; _huey setDir 270.248; _huey setFormDir 270.248; _huey setPosASL [1770,5543,2.15442]; _huey flyInHeight 40; _newGroup setFormation 'WEDGE'; _newGroup setCombatMode 'YELLOW'; _newGroup setBehaviour 'AWARE'; _newGroup setSpeedMode 'FULL'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[3951.13,2740.73,40], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[2925.31,2624.3,40], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[2223.6,2457.53,40], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[2061.34,1288.5,40], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; _newWaypoint = _newGroup addWaypoint [[879.747,2052.24,40], 0]; _newWaypoint setWaypointType 'MOVE'; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devastator_cm 434 Posted December 24, 2016 I also used local variable for Huey (_huey) instead of global one and yes waypoint z coordinate is important because when wp gets active it will let helicopter to adjust its height Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm asking because I'm using it in other file too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devastator_cm 434 Posted December 24, 2016 how do you call this code? Trigger? for examplehttps://community.bistudio.com/wiki/flyInHeight this command requires local argument. Which means code need to run where the vehicle is local. I usually use local variables unless global is not necessary I beleive problem was z coordinate of WPs by you and not the locality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
