plane water crashing script(big planes)

[my acc. was remove]

as a big plane crashes into the water, it seems to just fall through the water & slide underwater ;D

that doesnt happen in real life & this script could save the units inside the plane

the script should function this way:

-as the plane hits the water, it should make an instant stop leaving only some 3 or 4 mph of speed

- the should start slowly sinking

-the infantry in cargo would use the GET OUT action automatically

-inflate a rescue raft

-the plane should not be destroyed once it happens

should work 4 any type of air vehicles

[Pilot]

Not a bad idea, I think at least some sort of drop command to spray water into the air would be a great improvement.

as the plane hits the water, it should make an instant stop leaving only some 3 or 4 mph of speed

Actually, in reality this would kill everyone on board instantly, the plane will slow down, but it won't instantly stop...unless it hit the water at a high angle of attack (AOA), that is.

This would be diffucult to pull off because the script would have to determine the angle (or downward velocity) the plane hits at, if it hits too high, the plane should break up and be destroyed.  If it hits at a lower AOA (or a lower vertical speed), it should settle into the water and slow down without being destroyed.

I actually have a script that does this(not the calculating part, though. But the slowing down part nonetheless)

When you have saved all the scripts, execute the following one as [this] exec "init.sqs" on a plane or helicopter and crash it into the sea.
 
Save as init.sqs -

goto "init"

#start

@ getpos _vehicle select 2 < (-0)
_gl = "logic" createVehicle [getpos _vehicle select 0,getpos _vehicle select 1,0]; _gl setpos [getpos _vehicle select 0,getpos _vehicle select 1,0]; _gl setDir (getDir _vehicle)
[_vehicle] exec "\nmod_effects\slowdown.sqs";
[_gl] exec "\nmod_effects\waterexplosionN.sqs";
exit

#init

_vehicle = _this select 0

goto "start"

Save as waterexp.sqs -

Yeah...

Well, I had to adjust the scripts slightly, but the effect does look good!

Also, it is not good practice to name a script init.sqs, that name is reserved and called by the game engine at the start of the mission.  I named the script waterinit.sqs

Here are the adjusted scripts:
waterinit.sqs

_gl = "logic" createVehicle [getpos _vehicle select 0,getpos _vehicle select 1,0]; _gl setpos [getpos _vehicle select 0,getpos _vehicle select 1,0]; _gl setDir (getDir _vehicle)
[_vehicle] exec "slowdown.sqs";
[_gl] exec "waterexp.sqs";
exit

#init

_vehicle = _this select 0

goto "start"

Once I got it working the effect was good.  Thanks for making it.

i forgot to ask that where do i put a sqs file?

[Planck]

Put your .sqs files in the same folder as your mission.sqm.

how do i use this? what do i have 2 type?

Look at the unquoted text in my message above. It's in the beginning.
