Harzach 2517 Posted May 14, 2020 Heya! I've got a few hours to kill, so I'm hoping to work out supply drop snippet that is a bit more "tactical" than the whole "giant red smoke-breathing crate hanging from a parachute" thing. And I basically have the bones figured out - helicopter drops some bags (using Rotor Covers Bag object) that inherit the heli's velocity vector and which fall/tumble with physics. Still need to add some aero drag to the bags and sort out the offset of the bag's exit point from the heli, but those are mere details. The only real hurdle I have left is to figure out how to drop a backpack in this way. So... How to turn a backpack into a physics object? I'm open to any suggestions, no matter how hacky they might be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beno_83au 1369 Posted May 15, 2020 Backpack into groundWeaponHolder, attach the holder to something with physics and hide it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beno_83au 1369 Posted May 16, 2020 That'd explain why I didn't do that either..... I looked at something I'd done with similar needs, and instead I just used a small object (can of beans) that gets hidden by the pack itself anyway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
