Real Halo script

[{USI}_Zombie 0]

I am trying to modify    toadlife's excellent real_halo.xsqs and I almost have it, but now I am stuck.

 It works fine for the AI, but for the player it will never pull the chute, the action is displayed but will not deploy the chute, so that is where I need the assist...also I can't find the proper switchmove...here is the script:

_name = _this select 0

_height = _this select 1

_variance = _this select 2

_failrate = _this select 3

_killem = false

?count _this < 4:goto "deploy"

#checklocal

Ok then, I fixed it myself.  The script needed some work and I had to do some modifications.  Here is an example mission showing the scripts.  I give credit to toadlife for the concept

real_halo.pbo

It's not really a mission per se, but you can see how the scripts work

Hi {USI}_Zombie,

sorry i have no clue about scripting...

But it's a really very funny script.

Thank you for the Convertion!

Thx for sharing your work

My pleasure.  Some of my squadmates have found the height sidechat annoying, but other than that it has recieved good reviews.  I just wish toadlife could see and and streamline the thing all back in to 1 script instead of the 2 that I was forced to revert to.
