Dangle from chute

[major_winters 0]

Hi, I want to create a soldier hanging dead from his parachute being about 3 metres off the ground.

I use the code:

this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, (getpos this select 2) +3]

..in the init field of the soldier, but the guy falls to the ground from 3 metres.  Is there anyway to display an open parachut above his head and stop him falling to the ground?

Thanks

?(missionendsthingiehere):exit

goto "hang"

The "?(missionendsthingiehere):exit" line. Just put a condition there that is activated with your end trigger.

For instance, at the end of the onactivation line if your using an end trigger, then put T1 = True, and the script line would be

?(T1):Exit

I'm not sure if you have to make the script exit with the mission, but people have told me that you have to

Thanks Harnu, well, kinda worked, except he took off like he had an RPG up his backside!

I can only guess this because after every .01 seconds the guy gets put another 3 metres higher, so after a second hes gone up by 300 metres or so!

Is there a way to disable gravity or am i gonna have to find the balance between his fall due to gravity and the script movin him up? Even then wouldnt it look like he was on a trampoline?!

Doh! allow me to revise that script a second. Hate when the little things slip under ya.

Put an invisible H at the Tree and name the invisible H

Name the man too obviously

To activate it, make a trigger like this, and place it over a person:

Anybody

Present

Condition:this

OnActivation: [Guyinparachiteorparachuteguyhere, nameofinvisibleH] exec "Hang.sqs"
