Heli Hitching Script

[Landdon]

Has anyone seen a hitching script simular to one in Karrillions RTS mission?  That is say at 20 meters in the action menus you can Hitch a vehicle and transport it under a UH-60 to a New location.  Then at 20 meters you can un hitch again.

To be used by players.
AutoHover, aproach the cargo, keep closer than 10m horizontally and not higher than 7m.

EDIT: Changed so only pilots may pick up and drop vehicles or ships.

Nice script Mandoble.

I guess you haven't tested MP, but would you assume it works?

[Mandoble]

Yep, the script was tested in MP too and works well.

The link for the script seems to be broken, and the file seems to be MIA in the file listings. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks

OK, tried again later, and this time it worked!!

Hi,

I'm using this script for a Multiplayer Co-Op mission that I'm developing and during the development everything seemed ok with this script.
But once I run the mission in a dedicated server I do have one big problem with this script. Everything starts ok, I can pick up a vehicle while flying a helo but the problems starts when I drop the vehicle. At first the vehicle drops OK, but if I get near that vehicle while flying the helo (and without doing anything) the vehicle which was previously picked up sudently appears a few meters above the ground and stays there!

So I'm asking here for help. How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance for replies...

The way the scripts are executed need to be re-done to make sure the mando_hitch.sqf is executed only there where _cargo is local.

Hi Mandoble,

Don't get me wrong, but my knowlege of ArmA scripting is very limited, could you tell me how can I execute the mando_hitch.sqf only when _cargo is local?

Thanks in advance for replies...

[Mandoble]

Give me few days to modify current version.
