NEED HELP WITH SCRIPT
« on: 27 Feb 2005, 18:04:18 »
Alright here is the script that I came up with.  I figured it would be kind
of simple,
Use the Armed MH-6 to shoot the tires out on a civilian car.  Once the car
comes to a stop, the helo would land near it.
But I am finding that the helo wants to keep moving on to the next waypoint.
I even tried synch'ing the scripting trigger to the waypoints
but that didnt work either.  Maybe getting the helo to stop and move to the
car is harder than I thought it would be.  Can someone please give me a detailed breakdown of what I am doing wrong and how I can fix it?
please email me at boycedaniel@yahoo.com
anyways,  here is the script

#start
_PC = (abs Speed PC)
_PCpos = (getpos PC)
_pcDAM = (getdammage PC)

? ((_pcdam <= 0.5) && (_PC > 5)): {littlebird1 domove _PCpos}
~3
? ((_pcdam <= 0.5) && (_PC > 5)): goto "start"

;and this is the part that tells everyone in the chopper to getout

#land
_dis = littlebird1 distance PC
? (_dis > 1) : {littlebird1 domove _PCpos}
@ (LittleBird1 distance PC) < 1

LittleBird1 land "Getout"
exit

Getting choppers to land at all is difficult.     Try using a setWPPos command to move the waypoint to the right area.   Moving an invisible H in will help too.

There are scripts and tutorials in the Ed Depot to help with choppers.
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

you could use an extra script with

heliname flyinheight 0
~how ever long you what it to stay down
heliname flyinheight 50

or something like that because the helicopter cant go anywhere if its on the ground.
