gc8 981 Posted November 25, 2018 Hi i wanted to attach cargo container to helicopter but it seems to be not sling loadable because setSlingLoad doesnt do anything and canSlingLoad returns false. Then I tried ropeCreate which creates one rope from the heli to container. But the heli get's instantly damaged when I do this and then falls to ground due to the weight of the container. So does anyone know how to do this properly? The heli I'm using is west huron and container is "Land_Cargo20_sand_F" thx! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1747 Posted November 25, 2018 That sounds odd, because a Huron can slingload a 20 foot container. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 981 Posted November 25, 2018 Ok I figured it out. Only the containers that came with heli DLC are sling loadable. But is there anyway to attach robes to non sling loadable containers? So that people won't need the heli DLC to play my mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1747 Posted November 25, 2018 Yes there is a bunch of commands you'll need, some of which you've found, but without the DLC, it's going to mean a lot of work by the mission maker. Best solution is to have them buy the DLC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
POLPOX 779 Posted November 25, 2018 Using an (non-vehicle or non-weapon) asset from a DLC never requires to own DLC. Also, you can reduce the mass of an object with setMass command which also makes the object slingloadable or slingloadunable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your using the sling load assistant, and you hover near an object that your heli can't lift, lowering it's mass won't make the SLA suddenly see it and allow a lift.

I mean, if the object is light enough, it is able to “slingload” using ropeCreate commands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, just wanted to clarify in case they are using players flying helicopters and using SLA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
