Fastroping - Finished by RAVEN - Clan RAV

[Benoist 0]

Here it is people!

http://www.youtube.com/jp.swf?....XoTGFhx

or

The sit-guy anim is the best anim that he found, we are waiting for the tools o for a good soul which can give us a good anim.

Also, in the video, the anim for the rope desending and disengaging are not there, they are going to appear in the set when RAVEN (from clan RAV) realese all the next Sunday.

For now enjoy the video.

Later i will ask him if he wants to join with other people to create a better one (with chopper, another rope, animations, etc.) and if the people can edit his own work.

EDIT: I know that the most impressive is the fastroping but the pack also includes:

- Infantry transfer to anywhere

- EVAC anywhere

- Paradrop

- Fastroping (with the rope's addon)

- Fast insersion at kow altitude (like We Where Soldiers)

He also tried to do a way to carry vehicles but he drop out the idea when he saw the XAM 1.3

Remember, the genius brain behind all this is RAVEN, i don't want any mistakes, please, he is, not me, i'm only the manager

EDIT(10/23/2007):

First realease:

GHelicopter.sqs (Beta-1)

MOTIVE:

Tired of searching and making (evac, cargo transport, insertion, extraction, and their different modality), I decided to add all (or at least some of them) the operations with helicopters in only one script.

SCRIPT’S CAPABILITIES:

The invocation it isn’t hard, but it’s a little tweky. You have to pay attention to the parametres:

Parameter-1:

Quote[/b] ]The name of the unit with the asigned task.

(Example: Helo1)

Parameter-2:

Quote[/b] ]Array with the unit's groups names who are going to be transported.

(Example: [GrpW1, GrpW2,.....GrpW99])

Parameter-3:

Quote[/b] ]Array of the 3 elements which defines the behaviour in the sub-task of the platoon:

(Example1: [Helipad1, 30, false])

(Example2: [Camion, 0, true])

Parameter-3-1: Unit where the helicopter is going to go to extract the platoon.

Something normal to use is a invisible helipad but you can use a mobil unit,

The heli will move to it, even if it's moving.

Parameter-3-2: Number of seconds that the helicopter wait until the assigned unit come abord.

If it's zero, will wait indefinitely. If time has expired and the leader of the group

Is at least 100 meters, will maintain that position until address the group or

It is killed by the enemy.

Parametro-3-3: If it is true, the helicopter eject cans of smoke to cover the

Abord of the group.

Parameter-4:

Quote[/b] ]Array of the 3 elements which defines the behaviour in the sub-task of the platoon:

(Example1: [Helipad1, 30, false])

(Example2: [Camion, 0, true])

Parameter-4-1: idem to the parameter 3-1

Parameter-4-2: idem to the parameter 3-3 but at the moment of deploying the group (usually

LZ a "hot").

Parameter-5:

Quote[/b] ]Tipe of deployment of the transported group: (Values are: 0, 1 or 2)

0-Deployment in normal mode (altitude 0)

1-Deployment by rope (Rapel). (Will be shortly including in the addon-rope)

The helicopter arrives at the designated area, and deploys the group by ropes on the helicopter from

Stationary flight. Depending on the type of helicopter, it will use 1 or 2 cords.

2-Deployment by parachute

The helicopter arrives at a distance from the point of release (drop-zone) and acquires necessary altitude

To ensure the integrity of the group launched (> 150m). Then incorporates height and abandoned area.

3-Fast insertion

The helicopter slow down and flies at 3 meters while the troops goes down, the the heli flies away.

Parameter-6:

Quote[/b] ]Name of the script that will run as soon as the insertion

of the group finish. (Combat, safe, etc).

Parameter-7:

Quote[/b] ]Array containing the names of the objects (usually logical units) used as benchmarks

to determine the approximate route of the helicopter on his way to the area of insertion(WPs).

Example: [uL1, UL2,....UL99]

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT:

This is an advanced Beta.

In the future, the script is going to add the fast-rope modality (Rapel) and portering in external slings (Armor, artillery, light vehicles).

Beta (This is for helicopters movement and diferents ways of insertions)

EDIT (12/07/2007):

Edited the script with the new features.

Demo mission:

http://rapidshare.com/files/75219557/Demo_Mission.rar.html

New insertion style:

[cj 1]

That looks amazing! Can't wait for it to be released!!

Well done all

[benxcore 0]

Video Link isn't working.

[ck-claw 1]

Looking very good!

[Flat!!! 0]

It looks so GREAT!!!!!!!! But something that can be improved is how long it should be if that is not already and the speed at which it hides... But hey, This is so god damn cool!

BTW is there any release date and will this have to be "built in" the custom reskins?

[Benoist 0]

This Sunday he will realese it in the RAV forum, but don't worry guys, i'm going to put this here too.

I don't understood the second part of the question.

Anyway, look that this is only the script and the way to do it. If you can improve it, go head! (but notify me please, and put the name of his maker)

[Flat!!! 0]

Ok I will clarify myself. If I reskin lets say a UH-60 and make a new addon out of it will it then work on my addon or do I have to add anything to my addon?

Is this going to be in a .PBO or in .sqf because you daid it's a script.

I won't modify it just yet as I am still kinda new to editing etc.

Mmm....

He didn't explain much, but i think you will be able to do it, because he said something about put this in Mi-17.

Yeah, i think you can, but as i said i THINK.

I will ask him later.

EDIT: Of course the rope will be a .pbo, but i don't know if the "fastroping-script" will be too.

[-10thMT-Tack-Up 0]

need a different vid link. It wont load properly.

[Benoist 0]

Here you are:

You can click in the big video to be transefer to the normal youtube page.

[-10thMT-Tack-Up 0]

Ok does it work like, say you are flying in multiplayer and your buddy says lets fastrope there, does it work like that or is it something that has to be done at a specific location. And does it also work if you started on the ground. Got tired of running around dieing on your mission, then you and a few decide to get in the uh-60, and rappel at lets say the hotel. Does it work like that.

[imutep 0]

Good looking work

Can't wait to try it out.

I don't know if the terrain has to be like this or that, but i think you will be able to fastroping everywhere (i don't know if you can do it the hotel, i will check).

Remember! I'm only guessing!

He is working now, all you question will be answer later and i will post them as a "official" answer :P

[Guest]

I understand we are limitted with what can be done atm but I got to say this is definatly some really great news.

Cant wait for the release

[DBO_ 0]

Looking good , well done.

Could you ask if the chopper has to be at a certain height everytime and if you hover over a building , does the chopper have to be again at a certain height above the roof or the unit goes through roof if rope is through roof ?

[bravo 6 0]

does this work in MP?

[lifeguard532 0]

First of all, great script, I love it.

I cannot wait to use it.

Though is there a way the guys can go down the rope a tad faster? If that helo were making a hot insertion, the guys would be flyin down the rope. The number one thing I hear about fastroping is that you gotta get moving once you hit the ground, cause you will get clobbered by the guy behind you.

just a humble request, but hell, id be way happy with whats already been completed

[Benoist 0]

Remember, remember, the fifth... wrong dialogue :P

Remember that this it's only the first one and i'm taking all your suggestion.

Later, when he answer me i will post the new version or, at last, his answers.

And we have to see if this works well (well, this works well, but if we are able to improve it).

[Benoist 0]

Some answers:

1- I can use my own helicopters? (O sea, addons y otras yerbas)

If you config the rope's support parametres you can use it in every heli (use my "object movement" tutorial).

Note: I'll look after that tutorial.

2- It's going to be a .pbo or a .sqf?

Mi first idea was realese as a independant script with the addon, but the final product will be an addon with -as well as the rope and it's support-, all the scripts for the aerotrasport operations: personal transport, EVAC, CAS, RAPEL, PARACHUTING, transport of equipment by external sling, etc.

3- Can i "fastrope" myself everywhere? Height? Over buildings too?

I'm testing that right now. In theory it will be possible to be landed in buildings but I do not guarantee it in the final pruduct due unexpected behaviors of engine.

4- Does this work in MP?

Yes.

[4 IN 1 0]

its looks more like normal "careful" roping for me, the speed is OK but should have been a bit faster and allow more soldier on one rope at once otherwise it look impressive

[Kerry 0]

When do you think you can release this sweet addon/script?

[Flat!!! 0]

As said they will be released this Sunday. Plz read the other posts before posting again...

Anyeays real sweet...

[shots74 0]

Excellent addon/script. My one question that I think I haven't seen asked is, will people have to have this mod to be able to play on a mission with you and your team? Or will they just not be able to go down the rope?

[bravo 6 0]

please release what you guys have done for us to use in the missions

[Benoist 0]

Excellent addon/script. My one question that I think I haven't seen asked is, will people have to have this mod to be able to play on a mission with you and your team? Or will they just not be able to go down the rope?

If the script needs the addon (only for fastroping and vehicle carring) no, you won't.

Everyone needs the addon, besides there are a few Kbs only.
