C130J Static Side rear doors animations

[pele93 10]

The rear doors near the ramp don't appear to be animated on the C130J static(like they are on the normal C130J) and it would be nice to jump out the side rear doors instead of the ramp for HALO jumps.

Why? I thought they used the ramp? Couldn't find any info suggesting otherwise.

To get more people out faster they generally use both side doors but yeah not for halo but for paratroopers

You can't use the static C130 for a Combat Jump as it can't (at least not reliably, I expect) move, and everyone would be jumping out on top of eachother. Not sure how it works in MP, but for SP you'd control ejection via how fast the ejection script loops.

For HALO you can use the static since you'll most likely not even see the ground when you exit. The fact that you're not moving will only be evident by watching your GPS. Location is also not so important since you'll have plenty of time to glide where you want.

Nice movies though, I was searching for actual HALO jumps. Now this is a HALO jump :D

lol indeed.

You can achieve the effect by using setvelocity once they step out of the static c130j, I've been playing with it with halo jumps to try and get the effect that the planes moving instead of them just droping straight down.

The static c130j is just so much more aesthetically pleasing though then using using ejection scripts in a normal c130j:cool:

Surely it wouldn't be too hard to just bring the animiation from the c130j onto the static for the side doors?

HALO is generally not a lot of people, well trained, and lots of time to navigate after exiting the aircraft. Thus you would use the rear ramp.

Static line you want to get a lot of less-trained jumpers out the door fast and dense with good separation. The doors provide lateral separation which would likely combine with left/right staggering. Thus you would use the side doors.

The "keeping momentum" isn't an issue with exiting vehicles, it's that the BIS parachute is awful. It opens almost instantly and doesn't fall fast enough. I've been party to a lovely static line system script that was very light and clean and worked properly. Shame I don't remember where it was from.
