Ammocrate on a parachute

[Mox 0]

Is it possible to add a ammocrate to a Parachute?

Nothing Ive tried works so far.

If I need a script to do this does someone know where to find it?

You prompted me to fix up a very early script of mine

For testing, make a trigger (Radio Alpha) and OnActivation: [Choppername] exec "Ammodrop.sqs"

AmmoDrop.sqs

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">#begin

_chopper = _this select 0

#next

_x = getpos _chopper select 0

_z = getpos _chopper select 1

_y = getpos _chopper select 2

_para = "parachute" camcreate [_x,_z,(_y) + 10]

_ammo = "reammoboxwest" camcreate [_x,_z,(_y) + 0]

#set

?(not alive(_para)):goto "down"

_xx = getpos _para select 0

_zz = getpos _para select 1

_yy = getpos _para select 2

_ammo setpos [(_xx), (_zz), (_yy) + 1]

_ammopos = getpos _ammo select 2

_dir = getDir _para

_ammo setdir (_dir)

goto "set"

#down

_xxx = getpos _ammo select 0

_zzz = getpos _ammo select 1

_yyy = getpos _ammo select 2

_ammo setpos [_xxx, _zzz, (_yyy) -.1]

~.01

?(_yyy <= 0):exit

goto "down"

This script has about a 90+ percent work rate when I tested it.

Problems:

Occasionally the script will skip, and the ammocrate will come off of the parachute

When released from a chopper, velocity of the crate/para is 0. When I tested setting the velocity of the parachute to match that of the chopper, the parachute either:

1) Sticks to the chopper

2) The crate just falls down

If you want to tinker with it more, or have another scripter take a look and fix it up, be my guest

lol this may be a bit wierd to respond to a topic 2 years old.. but how do you use that script with different load out of crates?

_ammo = "reammoboxwest" camcreate [_x,_z,(_y) + 0]

Change the type of the ammobox.

Or to change the loadout manually, the crates local name in this script is _ammo.
