the_shadow 0 Posted July 21, 2004 ok, since i wasnt able to find what i was looking for (neither on this forum nor anywhere else) and i cant post in any other topic witch has something to do with my request (they are all too old) i have to start a new thread. im in need of a simple paradrop script, but personally i cant script (not even how much i try i dont seam to lern) anyway, i have only 2 requests about the mission... 1, the script MUST be activated by Planename exec "scriptname.sqs" and 2: all units assigned as cargo to that plane should jump with 1 second interval (no mather if they are in the same group or in different groups, all should jump) you can post the code here so i can copy - paste it into a notepad document... thanks..

sanctuary 19 Posted July 21, 2004 Have you tried the paradrop script located in the 3rd page of the Mission Editing FAQ that is pinned here (4th post of the linked page by Harnu) ? It seems to be exactly what you are looking for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_shadow 0 Posted July 21, 2004 i only find 1 problem with it.... i got more then 12 men.. (thats 1 of the squads in the plane, i got several squads) i need a script that i can use no mather how many units there is in the cargo plane.... maybe this can be fixed in that script though, can make it up to say 80 or 100 men instead of 12 :P oh, and it shouldnt really care what name the plane has.... dont know if that would be possible though...

korax 4 Posted July 21, 2004 Sure its possible, heres a modified version of Cephalid's script which he posted in the FAQ, should be just what you need. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_heli = _this _aunits= crew _heli _i=0 _aunits = _aunits - [driver _heli,gunner _heli] _j = count _aunits #HERE unassignvehicle (_aunits select _i) (_aunits select _i) action["Eject",_heli] _i=_i+1 ~1 ?_i > _j : Exit goto "HERE" and exec it just by Chopper exec "scriptname.sqs" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_shadow 0 Posted July 21, 2004 thanks :P now lets hope this works... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_shadow 0 Posted July 22, 2004 ok, this script works fine.. BUT it seams to me that the crew bails out to (and not only that, they bail out first leaving most of the other 22 men crashing into the ground and die) i really dont want the crew to bail out, only those assigned as cargo to the plane.... other then that, it works fine, and looks good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aook002 0 Posted July 22, 2004 This may not help but what I once did was that I used the normal script and just execed it for all the groups (i had 6 in the Antanov plane). #################################################################################### _aunits = units Group leader name eg "Team1" _i = 0 _Max = count _aunits #Here (_aunits select _i) action ["EJECT",vehicle name] unassignvehicle (_aunits select _i) _i=_i+1 ~1 ?_Max>_i:goto "Here" _aunits = units Group leader name eg "Team2" _j = 0 _Max = count _aunits #Here1 (_aunits select _i) action ["EJECT",vehicle name] unassignvehicle (_aunits select _i) _j=_j+1 ~1 ?_Max>_j:goto "Here1 And so on.... exit #################################################################################### Or you could exec the normal script for one group then add to the end of it something like player exec "eject2.sqs" - If you get my drift... team1.sqs <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_aunits = units team1 _i = 0 _Max = count _aunits #Here (_aunits select _i) action ["EJECT",heli] unassignvehicle (_aunits select _i) _i=_i+1 ~1 ?_Max>_i:goto "Here" player exec "team2.sqs" exit And "team2.sqs" would be exactly the same as "team1.sqs" apart from team1 would be changed to team2 in the script.

the_shadow 0 Posted July 22, 2004 oh well. nevermind, it worked, the crew never ejected, only the Stupid AI decided to fly "nap of the earth" with a cargo plane... wich didnt work all that well through a forest... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aook002 0 Posted July 22, 2004 oh well. nevermind, it worked, the crew never ejected, only the Stupid AI decided to fly "nap of the earth" with a cargo plane... wich didnt work all that well through a forest... Â So you got your ejection script working? The "oh well" doesn't seem too positive... Aook Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_shadow 0 Posted July 22, 2004 it works, even better then i hoped... managed to lower the tim to half a second instead of 1 second between jumpers.... now it even looks like they jump from both sides (looks like they jump in pairs, one from each door) too bad that they jump from the front of the FDF focker... (infront of the wings, almost hitting the preopellers) but well, i guess everything cant be prefect right? atleast it works and does what i want to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
