Helos

can ne1 tell me how i would move a heli to 100 feet in the air INSANTLY

[Damage Inc 0]

Put this flyinheight 100 in the init field.

Errm, that doesn't make them START at altitude 100

I also am keen to find out how to have helos at 100 feet instantly.

Make sure "Flying" is selected in the Special box, them type "this flyinheight 100" in the initbox. That works.

He said instantly people...

You'll need a point of reference for this (e.g an invisable H with the name H1). Make sure the chopper is flying and in the init field type:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this setpos [getpos H1 select 0, getpos H1 select 1, (getpos H1 select 2)+100];this flyinheight 100<span id='postcolor'>

What I did here was to set the position of the heli to 100m straight away. The flyinheight command will keep him there...

That should help

woo nice 1, now that works i want to do a fade out...then when it fades in again, i want the player (solider) to be in a different location 2m's ahead of a invis helipad and then soldiers around him, positioned refering to the invisable helipad. How would i go about this MP ?

He said insantly. (You get the point )

You don't need a point of reference. The z position is supposed to be how far above ground.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">helo1 setpos [getpos helo1 select 0, getpos helo1 select 1, 33]

<span id='postcolor'>

Notice how I used 33. He asked for 100 FEET which is ~33 meters. The ingame altmeters always show meters too.

The first of "position" is east/west, the second is north/south, and the third is altitude above ground. The position is in meters. In other words,

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

man setpos [getpos player select 0 +1, getpos player select 1 +1, getpos player select 2]

<span id='postcolor'>

Ought to place him ~1.4 meters northwest of you. (unless I got the polarisation wrong)

[MozMan 0]

hmmm it didn't seem to work, he didn't appear

[mahuja 12]

If I could have tried myself, (I can't here) I would've tested this myself.

However,

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

man setpos [(getpos player select 0) +1, (getpos player select 1) +1, getpos player select 2]

<span id='postcolor'>

might fix it, depending on where the error was.

(else it would try set man.x = player.y and man.y = player.z and man.z = player.z)

For the sake of my own edification...

Given that this is being done as an initial state, and therefore in an initialization field, would the following form work?

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this setpos [getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, 33]; this flyinheight 33

Probably. I see no reason it shouldn't.
