Vehicle drop from C130

[Bunny75 10]

I deleted the while loop and just added:

sleep 120;
deleteVehicle _chute1;
base_crate setVelocity [0, -10, 0];

This deletes the chute if it's stuck on a tree but the cargo container is not affected by the velocity? It just stays mid air.

Any solutions to that?

Yeah, this is an older version of it actually. I've got it working much better now, and it deletes the marker.

Only problem I'm having so far is what to do if one/both planes are destroyed inbound and making it multiplayer friendly.

Great script Kyle. Would you mind posting your new, updated script? Also, which parameter is the color of the smoke?

I dont understand at all ._.' ! Could someone "maybe" write a script to make a vehicle drop from a C130 when a trigger is triggered. I dont understand how to do the changes in your fixed scripts now. and well i ask for some help ^^ Private message or w/e :) thanks in advance

Example mission would be great ^^

This is a rewrite of some code from another thread.

Basically I rewrote the script to use more BIS functions and map click to select the drop zone.

Just preplace the "ingress" marker where you want them to spawn and the "egress" marker where you want them to delete.

[color=SeaGreen]//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Function file for Armed Assault

// Created by: 1ID-CPL. Venori

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Preplace Functions module, "egress" and "ingress" markers on the map.

/*

null = ["ingressMarkerName","egressMarkerName",["HMMWV","reammobox"]] execVM "SD_Airdrop.sqf";

*/[/color]

[color=SeaGreen]// Input[/color]

_in = _this select 0; // ingress marker name

_out = _this select 1; // egress marker name

_items = _this select 2; // Item array.............................

What if I want a scroll down selection to say Supply Drop? and that is what initiates the map click, then supply drop?

so you scroll down, select "Supply Drop", then it says "mark map" (or something similar), then the c130 drops your gear...?

i have added player AddAction ["Supply Drop", SD_Airdrop.sqf"]; and nothing happens. have the functions module in game...? nothing....?

Maybe you just did it wrong here but.

player AddAction ["Supply Drop", "SD_Airdrop.sqf"];

My re-write version:

I fixed the bad behaviour of the plane and added 1 greensmoke when the cargo reach the ground and 1 flare for night time

(the original had 1 greensmoke)

-Place a trigger to activate this script in your editor

-In "condition"

(vehicle player) in thislist;

-In "On act"

_nul=[getPos drop1,"UNBasicWeapons_EP1",getDir drop1] execVM "scripts\dropspawn.sqf";

-Place a "H"invisible called "drop1", it will be the place where the ac will drop the cargo, rotate the "H" to adjust the direction of the plane
