Choppers paradise

[charliereddog 9]

Looking great. As someone who's looking at a chopper script of my own, I might have some ideas for you.

One thing, the chinnook's seem to slide forward a hell of a lot on landing, good job you picked an open field!

Video looked amazing!

I've never seen Chinook's look so graceful.

And i loved the hard landings.

It gives it that get in, and get the hell out feeling.

Not like the usual "hover around for 20 minutes, see how much AAA we can soak up, and if still flying, set down 300 feet away from everyone"

Holy shit... exactly that what i need...

Cheers

this harrier pic makes me sad that quoting pics is forbidden here.

*bow down to the script master*

how bout BIS including your scripts instead of the original ones?

AI is pretty much uselles at flying now.

and more than one AI chopper in the area is a recipe for disaster

PD: Sorry about the pics, I didn´t know it. Should I remove them?

no, no, don't remove them, if you're referring to my post.

i just meant I'd like to quote that picture in my post. because it looks great and deserves a repeat. and a repeat.... and a repeat...

posting pictures is ok, of course.

just quoting is bad. and unneccesary.

sorry for the misunderstanding.

really, this looks so great, BIS should take a look and put your flying scripts in the game. you have clearly outmastered them

great work.

Great thanks to people who share their work and allow us to get some more new ideas to improve the game.

Feel free to use the code here on your scripts or modify it but please share the resulting script for us to enjoy it too.

Feel free to upload this content to any server for people to access it.

No permission from myself will be needed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These tools appeared due to the need to improve and speed up the creation of cutscenes. Additionally the flight model for

both choppers and jets had, in my opinion, to be improved a little and that´s why I decided to experiment with it.

All scripts are self explanatory and I do not intend to prepare a detailed explanation for them, sorry.

* Available tools are:

- Aircam: allows to attach it to a vehicle and follows its movements. Can be controlled by defining buldozer controls in

the game options menu with a joystick, keyboard or mouse.

- Choppers: allows choppers to fly a reference path defined by other unit. No need to put them into a squad. Actions can be executed

at a defined waypoint and close and custom formations are a fact and are defined by the [x,y,z] reference in the script.

- Contmgfire, controlfire and mgfire: used by war cam to create weapons fire effects

- Eventfired: missile or bullet cam triggered when a gun is fired

- Fireweapon: forces unit to fire a particular weapon

- Jets: modified version of choppers script to use on jets

- Ricochets: simulates a unit to be under fire

- Spawn: allows to create units that follow a reference path and to use some effects on them

- Warcam: creates war effects on camera and are controlled by the cam movements.

- Other secondary scripts: artillery, cargo, eject, enter and exit. General purpose scripts.

* Known issues:

- Jets behaviour depends on game performance when the init is called. To get a better performance try to place then on map

as closer to their reference first waypoint as possible. Also their heading would be important.

- Choppers landing performance is better on flat areas and due to game scripting the load procedure must be done with

engines off to prevent chopper to move

- You may notice different results in jets and choppers each time you run the mission due to the issues explained before

Enjoy the movie making!

I hope you like it. Now I want to see your cutscenes

Cheers

No problem. It is just a mission plus a set of scripts so unzip everything to your missions folder and play it to see the features demo, like any other mission. In the mission "scripts" folder you find all tools that can be used on any other mission you create

thx!

What am I doing wrong that I constantly get this error message?

[geloxo 2]

I guess you are missing the "relative to vehicle variable" when calling the air camera script. You have to put "true" or "false" (without "") in the script like this:

Quote[/b] ][driver heli1, heli1, [-1.3,-0.3,0.85], false, 1200] exec "scripts\aircam.sqs"

I hope it helps

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

I will try it, thanks for taking the time to have a look at my problem
