How to make chopper drop cargo

[Far East Lieutenant 27]

Hey guys,

 

This is my intended procedure:

1. Start a Coop mission on a rhib slingloaded on huron.

2. Huron delievers & Drops rhib and players

 

To enable this,

 

A. I put a trigger(Blufor, present) and on Act:

0= chopper1 setSlingLoad rhib1;

B. Then designated a waypoint(cargo drop) at a location

 

When previewed in editor, the huron starts with rhib slingloaded, however it will not move.

Any guys know how to do this?

have you tried putting this in chopper1 init?

I think you need a move waypoint before the cargo drop waypoint.

use the DropCargo way point where you want the rhib to be dropped .

You can also use another trigger with:

heli1 setSlingLoad objNull; // assuming helicopter is named heli1

Right, thanks for letting me know :)

1. Create a Rhib, name it rhib1 and Add a diver squad to the Rhib.
2. Place a huron in the air and name it chopper1
3. In the huron attributes - Init. - put "0= chopper1 setSlingLoad rhib1;"
4. Set a "Drop Cargo" waypoint for the huron at your wanted position.

If you preview the scenario, your diver team is in a rhib that is attached to the huron by rope. Huron will drop you at a pre-designated position.

Hope this helps to someone :)
