Is there an available BIS default blackhawk wreck?
« on: 10 Mar 2005, 17:16:36 »
I need a helicopter wreck in my mission, and I was using BAS' blackhawk for awhile.  It was decided to switch out the main helicopter for the mission since I needed something with cargo support along with some rockets.  Now I'm using the default BAS Blackhawk, however unsightly it may be.  The problem is I don't have a wreck model for it -- I don't see one in the mission editor.  Is there one I may have missed?

I was thinking of setting the fuel to 0 and damage to 1 on a victim blackhawk, which should wreck it.  However, a playable squad would be started right beside it, and I think having the helicopter immediately cave in at the mission beginning won't impress anybody.  Is there a way I can force the helicopter into a dead animation?

There isn't any BIS made black hawk wrecks, unfortunately.  And the setDamaged version of a wrecked blackhawk doesn't look too good. But I have two suggestions:

1) SetFuel the chopper to 0 an Setdamage it to 0.5 or 0.75. Then the windows will be cracked, but the wreck will not crumble before the eyes of the players at missionstart.

2) Stick to your original idea, but place the playable units turned away from the helicopter so that none of them has the chopper wreck in their field of view when the mission starts. Hopefully this will give the computer enough time to turn it into a wreck before they turn around. Also, you can blackout the screen a few seconds when the mission starts. This will give the computer even more time to crumble your blackhawk to dust before anyone can see it. Or use disableUserInput for 2-3 seconds in the beginning of the mission, thus restricting the pshysical ability to turn around too early, or... variations are almost endless.

I was playing around with damage, and noted that if you take away all the fuel and ammo, the default BIS blackhawk won't explode when its damage becomes 1.  

The problem now is the random placement code.  Sometimes this wreck gets thrown into the middle of the woods.  The helicopter just ping pongs and squirms its way out of the woods.  That's not very convincing.  I'm thinking I might need to switch back to the BAS model after all.

OK, there doesn't seem to be a default blackhawk wreck(I'm still sure I saw one a lot of time ago), but there is a black blackhawk wreck. Search for "black hawk wreck" on ofp.info. Remember to set it to Addons.

Didn't BAS have a blackhawk wreck included with their blackhawk pack?
