I am trying to set up an airborne drop of troops. I still have not figured this out yet so here is what I would like to be able to do...
1. I need to set the altitude of my Chinook at a set height, and I need the helo to slow down to a given speed. 2. I need to get those troops out the back as fast as possible at a given location. 3. I need to get the Chinook to return to an airbase or carrier and land there, i know how to get more troops on the helo if I needed to. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

I'm not an expert, but for 1) you could try
unitname FlyInHeight x for x in meters. For 2), would a normal waypoint "transport unload" do the trick? This post has been edited by Mnemonic: Apr 1 2009, 21:11 -------------------- The cake is a lie!

Hmm I have always had a problem with FlyInHeight. I use it on choppers in such form "This FlyInHeight 100" but regardless of what variable I use the helicopter always starts an altitude of 50...

for 1.
CODE this setPos [getPos this select 0,getPos this select 1,100]; this flyInHeight 100 should do the trick. Chopper might still change altitude a bit though. for 2. This post has been edited by W0lle: Apr 2 2009, 20:00 |

QUOTE Want to be able to paradrop troops out of a chinook Transport unload will not work for this. There are a few ways of doing it. If you want a good effect, you'll need scripting, otherwise, the action command should work. CODE _soldier action ["eject", vehicle soldier] It's a bit tedious to put this for each unit in your group though, so what's usually better is this: CODE (_x action ["eject", chinook]) foreach units group SquadLeader (Where chinook is the name of the aircraft in question, and squadleader is the name of the squadleader) -------------------- The Rules - Nothing too complicated, follow these and we'll have no problems.

QUOTE When I use this code for some reason my AI pilot decides to fly back to the default altitude of 50... then try... CODE this setPos [getPos this select 0,getPos this select 1,100]; this flyInHeight 200 If i remember correctly the FlyInHeight command does not use the same figures as the actual altitude, can be a little weird. Try experimenting with a few different numbers.
