My first script for airdrop from plane or helico

[Lorenzo 0]

i have do it    

i'm happy, it's work fine ... thank's to Rastavovich for his help .

the script is good and , it's do for make a group or other to airdrop from a plane or helico with a timer between drop.

i have seen an other way to do this but it's with a lot of trigger (1 by soldier to drop) i it's not very good for the processor's ressource ...

this is it :

; ------------------------------------------

;[helico,s1,1] exec "para2.sqs"

;helico = nom de l'helico

;s1 = chef du group ou membre du group

;1 = ecart de temps entre chaque larguage

; ------------------------------------------

;TitleText["trigger parachutage atteint","PLAIN DOWN"]

_helico = _this select 0

_chefgroupe = _this select 1

_temps = _this select 2

_tab = Units Group _chefgroupe

_nb = Count(_tab)

_i=0

#boucle

~_temps

_soldat = _tab Select _i

_soldat Action ["EJECT",_helico]

UnassignVehicle _soldat

_i=_i+1

?(_nb == _i):Goto "fin"

Goto "boucle"

#fin

-----------------------------

i put traduction here :

; ------------------------------------------

;[helico,s1,1] exec "para2.sqs"

;helico = the name of the air engine

;s1 = the name of the soldier (chef!?) from a group that we want airdrop

;1 = time between each drop

; ------------------------------------------

i have make a mission test with this script, if you want it i can send it or perhaps you know a web site who take it ?

Looks like a handy script, even if you don't need the "_i"-variable.

instead of _i you could use directly _nb:

  _nb = Count(_tab) - 1

#boucle

  ~_temps

  _soldat = _tab Select _nb

  _soldat Action ["EJECT",_helico]

  UnassignVehicle _soldat

  _nb = _nb - 1

  ?(_nb == -1):Goto "fin"

  Goto "boucle"

but that is simply cosmetic.

As I said, nice script.

Yes, you are right Rastavovich. It's a nice script and since it will only loop 1 to 12 times, it won't be bad on your processor.

I would go for the version without the _i-variable, because it's always better to have your script as efficient as possible. Although this isn't important in this case, it's a good 'habit' to take on.
