ThePainkiller 10 Posted June 2, 2009 why cant we do this in ArmA2? arma2 just a tool to finance vbs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steakslim 1 Posted June 2, 2009 ArmA and VBS are vastly different at this point it seems on many things. For one you cannot wander around inside vehicles like you can in the VBS videos, at least not without collision issues (tried it a few times in a Chinook in ArmA1, resulted in me sliding out the back or falling through the floor). It'd be nice to be able to load vehicles like that though, or even be able to walk inside the C-130 or V-22, or any future addons while they are moving without having to be seated in fixed spots. I don't think we'll see this happen unless BIS makes a magic patch that allows it some day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
th3flyboy 0 Posted June 2, 2009 I think BIS isn't going to implement that, it's something which is a SELLING POINT for VBS. Even though this is something which should be implemented in A1 and A2, It most likely never will. If they start adding all the cool stuff from VBS into ArmA 2, why would anyone buy VBS?

Steakslim 1 Posted June 2, 2009 I think there's more to VBS than more accurate vehicle collision detection as opposed to in ArmA. I doubt adding such a feature would hurt VBS's sales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted June 2, 2009 Where would you take the vehicle? To one of the airports only several km away :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparks50 0 Posted June 2, 2009 Question, can you airdrop those Paratrooper bikes? That is after all what they are made for. And can you carry it on the LAV as pictured on a screenshot some time ago? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1048 Posted June 2, 2009 arma2 just a tool to finance vbs? Oh noes.... not this again. :rolleyes: Who promised you that you can transport vehicles in a Hercules? Exactly, no one. It's a result of the community hype where on page 1 in a thread someone said it would be cool to transport vehicles in a plane and on page 6 it became a (not existant) fact. VBS2 != ArmA2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted June 2, 2009 Question, can you airdrop those Paratrooper bikes? That is after all what they are made for. And can you carry it on the LAV as pictured on a screenshot some time ago? I think that was scripted in the mission, but I'm not sure. However it is very simple to script thanks to the attachTo command. You can script it into your own missions with some work. (assuming it's not already in the game) For airdrops you could spawn a parachute and attach the bike to it. Maybe someone will create a nice set of scripts to transport the bikes around.

sparks50 0 Posted June 2, 2009 The ideal thing would be to spawn a bike as the person airdropped lands. These bikes are packed in a bag attached under the airdropped soldier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
