Desrat 0 Posted July 21, 2011 trying to work around the issue where AI drops miles away by using slightly differnt code for AI and I came up with the following. s1 sideChat "Ok we're at the dropzone - BAIL OUT"; //rest is server side only if (isServer) then { _group = _this select 0; _vehicle = _this select 1; sleep 2; { if (isPlayer _x) then { unassignvehicle _x; _x action ["EJECT", _vehicle]; _x setvelocity [0,0,0]; [_x] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_getout.sqs"; sleep 1; } else { unassignvehicle _x; _x setpos [ getPos _x select 0, getPos _x select 1, 250]; _x flyinheight 250; _x setvelocity [0,0,0]; [_x] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs"; sleep 1; } } foreach units _group; }; called via trigger grouped to c130 xhandle=[s1,c130] execVM "scripts\halo.sqf"; Now this works ok but generates the following error in Arma2.rpt Error in expression <it select 0, getpos _HALOunit select 1, _HALOunitaltitude]> Error position: <_HALOunitaltitude]> Error Undefined variable in expression: _halounitaltitude can anyone shed any light on this?

kylania 567 Posted July 21, 2011 [_x, [color="Red"]2500[/color]] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs"; You are missing the altitude value for the HALO_init.sqs script. Your main problem though is that 250m up is essentially death for a HALO drop. Try 2500m instead. :) At 250m just use eject and the normal parachutes.

That just it though - the plane is at 2500 but when using any variation of halo on AI means at that height the land anywhere within 5000m I setpos them lower to give them less scope to drift away from the planned dropzone. Again this is just for AI - player controlled get the full 2500m halo. However thx for the insight.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 567 Posted July 22, 2011 That's odd, since you stop them so they should just fall down... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jedra 11 Posted July 22, 2011 Great - that's excellent. I only noticed this myself yesterday - I was having to set the halo jump up away from where I actually wanted the AI to land to counter the drift. Then I noticed that for some reason the 'drfit' affected the units differently when run hosted as apposed to dedicated. I was starting to think I would need to write some work-around code! Presumably in your modified scripts you have removed the speed added by BIS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desrat 0 Posted July 23, 2011 Presumably in your modified scripts you have removed the speed added by BIS? correct :) although I'm re-working them again into Sqf format.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedra 11 Posted July 23, 2011 I slightly modified them as I don't use waypoints for the AI in my mission, but they work as advertised. My AI fellows now HALO to where I want them rather than somewhere in the next country!! Thanks for your efforts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desrat 0 Posted July 23, 2011 My AI fellows now HALO to where I want them rather than somewhere in the next country!! Thanks for your efforts! No worries - when i've finished converting to sqf and tweaked it to my liking I'll put together a quick demo mission for other n00bs like us trying to get this working for the first time.

wevy 1 Posted April 23, 2012 im wondering how to load a whole unit in a static c 130 with the proper sound and have them halo jump out of the back ramp of the c 130 n can this be done in a moving c 130 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PELHAM 10 Posted April 24, 2012 im wondering how to load a whole unit in a static c 130 with the proper sound and have them halo jump out of the back ramp of the c 130 n can this be done in a moving c 130 Yes in a roundabout way as long as you are in the C130. The only C130 with a cargo space you can walk in is the static C130. If you look around there are scripts which attach it to a flying C130 and you get a good HALO effect. As you jump it deletes the static aircraft and the other moves away. Search and ye shall find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PELHAM 10 Posted May 7, 2012 Hello,I would like to know where I can get this addon/script please? I don't think it was ever released, it's not a script, it's a custom addon. There is another here but do not bother the developer please as he has obviously had a lot to cope with during the past year, take it as is, it will probably be released in Arma3?: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?119925-USEC-Parachutist-H-A-L-O-Series/page11&highlight=aduke+HALO See 1st post in that thread for images.

lavbo0321 5 Posted May 7, 2012 Much appreciated!! Thank you, I will give it a try tonight. I am building a HALO/Jump school. It would be nice if the guys had some actual parachutes on thier backs LOL. S/F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borngamer117 1 Posted July 4, 2012 im sorry if this has already been answered previously but i am busy and dont have time to read through all the threads posted but how do you make ai's walk out of the back of a static c130? whenever i try to jump with them they just walk around and somehow walk through the walls of the c130[i have already tried setting waypoints]. so could someone please help me out on how to give my units the quote "green light" to walk off the ramp.

Kempco 10 Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) JTK_HALO script by Kempco Includes custom dual purpose GPS, Bailout 02 simulation, and gear management system. Works in both single player (shown) and multiplayer (hosted and dedicated). Requires Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead and CBA. ACE however is strongly recommended ATM (More on ACE below). The Bailout 02 masks used in the script require the Desert Mercenaries and BlackOps addon by SchnapsdroSel. NOTE: The script does not require the Desert mercs addon, however the mask models will not appear on units wearing them if the addon is not used. The mask overlay simulating the mask outline will still show up. Also, if you are not Using ACE then the mask models will be neglected altogether as the script will not have an Identity to reference once the mask is removed. (Same goes for ACE users without their user configs set). The Non-ACE version is still a WIP. The script works W/O it, however parachute models are configured differently and you will not be able to switch your GPS mode when your chute is open.
