STABO lift

[penguinman]

 thanks

[Triggerhappy]

would you happen to know how many people could be lifted on the same rope?
from the pictures i'm guessing around 5

[penguinman]

 normaly they only do 5 as its usualy used for SF squads and those are usualy pretty small

but i think they can do up to 10

how about make it 6 or 8 you choose see which looks better

but it should be a even # because they go in groups of 2 usualy



also, how do u like the mission i made for the para script,

sry if it sucks, but i was a little rushed because i had to leave for  xmas vaction.

thanks

to tell you the truth i haven't looked at it yet. I 've been busy playing with my christmas toys. I'll check it out soon though.

[Triggerhappy]

well the mission maker ultimately will choose, its going to be pretty obvious which variable you need to change the value of.

I'll give it a default of 10, so it can acommodate larger groups, but the readme will tell how to change it anyway

[penguinman]

good idea but it shoul be a max of 10

you dont want some crazy mission maker put 100 guys on the rope

[Triggerhappy]

if they want to, they can go ahead and try, i garuntee you it won't work, the way i intend to script it
hint:they will be spaced out and forced off if they get on/below the ground
speaking of which, think a combattoprone anim should be thrown in for that?
or how about a death anim?

I can see it now...
OH SH*T! the chopper's coming down too fast! *thud flop flop blackout*

[penguinman]

lol

is there going to be an action menu option"attach to rope"

and can AI do it.

[Triggerhappy]

yes and hopefully
i'm going to try giving players that are the leader the option of commanding their group to get in,  players will then have to get on themselves.
also, i will make a script for entirely ai groups that the mission maker can call to get them to get on.

[penguinman]

i dont think there should be any animation

you should be able to aim and shoot while on the rope(not very good aim though) just not be able to move

[Triggerhappy]

alright, for the aim thing i can just setdammage -1 them, so they will jump around a lot.

[penguinman]

ok is it almost done

[Triggerhappy]

no, i haven't even gotten into the main script for it, i've been working out how i was going to do it. I have 4 scripts so far, although one is just an init to define a few global variables. the others are:
the script that is executed by the mission maker to start the stabo lift (i.e. create the rope and call other scripts)
then there is the setpos loop for the rope
and finally the addaction script for players to get on to the rope

[penguinman]

i am dying for this!
i hate to be impatient but
is it almost done?

thanks

[Triggerhappy]

ok, i'll work on it more than i normally would, or something.
do you have a deadline you need to make or anything that would make it more urgent or do you just want it really bad?
