Halo jumping.

[Drojman 10]

Sorry if there is already a thread on this, I'm having trouble trying to get a group to HALO jump from a plane. How would I tie a HALO jump to a radio command? Or even better a trigger. And lastly what is the easiest way to have the group start inside a C130 that is flying but they are not actually members of the squad? Thanks.

Here are a lot of example mission.

[NameOfGroup,NameOfPlane] exec "jump.sqs";

jump.sqs

?!(isServer) : exit

_grp = _this select 0
_flz = _this select 1
_jmp = units _grp

_i = 0
_j = count _jmp
~(random 3)

#start
unassignvehicle (_jmp select _i)
(_jmp select _i) action ["EJECT",_flz]
_i=_i+1
~.4
?_j>_i:goto "start"
exit;

To let start a group in the flying heli or plane use this command in the initline of the leader.

{_x moveInCargo NameOfHeli} foreach units NameOfGroup;

or

{_x moveInCargo NameOfHeli} foreach units group this;

Thanks alot, I'll go try that now :)

Oh my bad, I forgot to ask, where would I place that HALO command?

Put the jump.sqs script in your mission folder and the command to beam the group in the flying heli, write in the init line of the group leader.

Or you try this easy way to jump. Put this in the Activation field of the trigger where you wanna jump out.

NameHeli lock false;
Player action [ "eject", NameHeli];
Player setvelocity [0,0,0];
[Player] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_getout.sqs";

"Script jump.sqs not found"

This is your jump.sqs. Save it as jump.sqs in your mission folder.

?!(isServer) : exit

_grp = _this select 0
_flz = _this select 1
_jmp = units _grp

_i = 0
_j = count _jmp
~(random 3)

#start
unassignvehicle (_jmp select _i)
(_jmp select _i) action ["EJECT",_flz]
_i=_i+1
~.4
?_j>_i:goto "start"
exit;

Hey guys, I got the HALO_getout.sqs working but my problem is this: even if an AI unit is executing the script, my screen temporarily blacks out when the script is triggered, as if I'm the one doing the HALO jump. Also it seems the AI unit just magically disappears when it executes the script. Any ideas?
