A few scripting questions

[OberSchutze 19]

I was wondering if there was a way to drop a CRRC from a UH1Y from a script attached to the heli. Also for my mission I want some towers to trigger MI-8 heli reinforcements until all 3 towers are taken out. Thanks for your time.

Commands-wise, you could just use "attachTo" and "detach" commands to drop the boat.

Right but I want to create one with a dropdown from the pilot seat, like if the people in back tossed it out the side.

You could spawn it close to the chopper and either attach a chute or not, If I remember right one or two of the boats floats down a little more realistically than when dropping a truck. The rubber ones do bounce if dropped on land but I never tried over water.

You could attach the boat and see how it looks sticking out the doors and then just use a setpos command to move it out.

Sometimes when you do attach stuff and then unattach stuff they can damage the host.

So there isn't away to spawn one dynamicly from a heli?

This is what I have come up with, but help script doesn't load, but when i just put the addaction part into the init it works, but i need it to work in script form:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Function file for Armed Assault
// Created by: Robert Larson, larson@20thsfg.com
// Usage: nul=[plane] execVM "Scripts\boatloader.sqf";
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

_plane  = 	_this select 0;

_plane addAction ["Deploy CRRC", "Scripts\CRRC.sqf"];

And the createvehicle code which does work:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Function file for Armed Assault
// Created by: Robert Larson, larson@20thsfg.com
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

_plane = "Zodiac" createvehicle (position player);
