wildbrumby 0 Posted August 5, 2004 A quick and simple problem. I'm trying to make an assault force insert by chopper. I want the chopper to start in midair with engines running. I can get it into mid air, but how do I start the game with engines running? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjjr 0 Posted August 5, 2004 In mission editor thier will big big letters on the tool bar side (where you can click preview) that says either easy or advanced. If it says easy then click on itto make it say advanced. That way you will have the option of selecting "flying" when you place a chopper or plane. May sound simple but I didn't notice that until 3 months ago and I've had OFP for two years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

868 0 Posted August 5, 2004 Mission Editing tips: Always use the 'ADVANCED' mode in the editor. As for the chopper starting in the air: Type in the init box: this flyInHeight X (sets the pilot to fly in that height throughout its flight. (this being the chopper, X being height) If you want the chopper to start at a certain height immediately: Type in the init box: this setpos [getpos this select 0,getpos this select 1, X] (You can alter this by typing a name of the chopper instead of the 'this') Ofcourse, do not forget to use the 'Flying' option. Don't forget to use ";" if you are typing more than one code. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
