[aps]gnat 28 Posted January 5, 2009 Don't let the negative emails/post upset you (easy to say). Â Unfortunately there are A-holes everywhere. Â You've done fantastic work. Â Just ignore them. Agree! Lots of addon makers get that shit all the time. Along with lots of stupid "plz plz plz" release before its finished and "personal use only" requests.

spooky lynx 73 Posted January 6, 2009 One question about your frigate: how is it possible to put chopper on its deck in editor? What command should I use - "setpos" or something other? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 420 Posted January 6, 2009 Try this on the Init of the chopper THIS Setpos [(Getpos THIS Select 0),(Getpos THIS Select 1),6] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spooky lynx 73 Posted January 6, 2009 Hm... It doesn't work. Ship constantly moves forward and chopper falls in the water Btw, OFP frigates by Gnat had ability to fix chopper on the deck. So, I think, the same system should be in this Type 21. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 420 Posted January 6, 2009 The only idea that comes to my mind is to disarm mando hitching script system and put a variant in the ini of the frigate so it can "attach" choppers to the helipad. I haven't looked Mando's code but it should be feasible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wld427 1705 Posted January 6, 2009 Hey guys, Let us know if you are able to come up with that solution as we tried everything under the sun during development. If you get a solution it will be included when we go V1 soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meathead 0 Posted January 8, 2009 Anyone skilled in Configs can you PM me or check out my post in the Configs section? Got a bug on the LB's we cant seem to squash and could use some frsh input, Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 420 Posted January 8, 2009 Well, I've had access to USECs Navy mod and the Ticonderoga class cruisers have an option that (I think) use a custom animation trick. There is an animation set on the cruiser that is activated via an action when the chopper is near the cruiser and it's altitude is 0 (i. e. parked on the landing pad). This action is called "latch to deck". If you press the chopper dissappears, an animation showing a parked chopper on the landing pad is created in the cruiser, and then all people inside the chopper are moved to the cruiser. You can then go out and "unlatch the helicopter". That action should create the chopper again on the landing pad, set the custom animation to 0 and move the pilot to the chopper. At this moment the code is not complete because when you do this the chopper is not created again. Anyway, it looks very good when you have a Tico steaming at full speed with a parked ocean hawk on the landing pad. http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/8638/armaunityer0.jpg Problem is that you have to define an specific animation for specific helicopters, which would mean adding one animation for all possible helicopter (which is not feasible). "I think" that something like RKSL cargo system could be used so an special proxy is created showing a parked chopper. But I don't exactly know how it would have to be done.

gsleighter 0 Posted January 8, 2009 Put a tarp over the chopper? I mean, the animation could be to add the shape of a helicopter covered with some sort of tent to protect it from weather... That way, you have one animation that would work okay, vs having one animation that works okay for one chopper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wld427 1705 Posted January 9, 2009 but will all this scripting prevent the ship from running well in multiplayer??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 420 Posted January 9, 2009 If you use this method, maybe using two custom animations, one for the Cougars another one for the Hughes little bird, the only scripting needed would be moving the choppers crew to the ship, destroying the chopper, and creating the new chopper on the landing pad. I don't think it would be problematic for the MP mode. At least you could ask the USEC people how they did that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree, that bit is do-able, MP won't cause any issues. But the problem I see is that every user saves their custom (chopper) addons in different sub-directories ..... So the question is; Is it possible to have a script that locates the path to a p3d, and then re-name a proxy ... probably not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3245 Posted January 9, 2009 path to any p3d in any given pbo? as the proxy is defined in configs, you could read it from there. otherwise make a new topic with more details Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slatts 1978 Posted January 10, 2009 good things to say here ^^ i was showing a mate of mine some of your work as an example of what could be done..he was impressed also while showing off the Mirage2000 which IMO is great addon i hadnt done this before but.....i placed a tank in northern corazol and got the gunner to drop the bomb on him... HALF of cora was blown to bits!!! HALF!! i was LMAO at it. i then placed more tanks and troops everything that moved was blown up even if it was behind a wall keep up the good work P.S i mean half blown up in a good way ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
