Adding smokeshells to choppers
« on: 26 Jun 2006, 04:57:53 »
Hello,

I'd like to beable to drop a smokeshell from a chopper. I've seen it done before and I can add the weapon, just not any mags :(

You could have a work around. Write a script that detects when you are in the chopper, then gives you an action, "Drop Smoke". In the script you will getpos te chopper and drop a smoke from a certain point on it. Make sense?

Yeh, I've seen that done; but I was wanting it to be easier *in game* to just fire.

'easy' is a relative term.

see attached missionette for an easy solution, per The Architect's suggestion. took all of 2 minutes.

With some modification it should prove a nice effect for a parade type of camera scenes. Red smoke cans 'attached' to the choppers landing feet on both sides. Lovely.  ;)
Not all is lost.
