Can't get Airwolf to fly!

[Danakin1]

OK, so I'm writing a script for pilot to get into Airwolf and fly without using triggers.
So far I've gotten pilot to get into Airwolf and start the engine.  But I can't get the coppter to take off.
I typed in a script, airwolf flyInHeight 300, but she won't lift off. 
She sort of lifts off the ground about an 1" and then just hovers...  Any suggestions?
Also, I used the script to get pilot into airwolf, pilot moveInDriver.  This works, but no animation.  Pilot just magically appears in driver seat.  Any suggestions on a better command?
Last, Is there any lists of scripts for the AirWolf mod.  Like how to write in the scrip to go into full combat mode, how to get landing gear to rise, and stuff like that?

I can't help you with the taking off stuff, but I can try with the rest.

Rather than using moveindriver, could you consider using:

Code: [Select]

aP assignasdriver airwolfand

Code: [Select]

aP ordergetin true
For full combat mode, you could consider using:
Setcombatmode
Setbehaviour

As for the landing gear, I don't think it's possible. There is an action called land gear, but this only works for a player controlled plane.

Hope this helps.

Not sure what this all means...  I'm new to this Forum thing.  I thought I could just post questions and hope to get answers.
Should I have just put "airwolf" or "airwolf mod question"?

Could you tell me the action for the landing Gear?  That way I can give it a try.

[Gcfungus]

Syntax:

Code: [Select]

planename action ["LAND GEAR"]Though it should only work for player controlled planes.

GcFungus, thanks for the info.  I tried it out and you were right.  Didn't work.   
I did some research and I found some cool things. 
I found the commands to deploy the guns and rocket launcher, raise and lower helmet visor, and I think the landing gear.
In case you want them, hear they are:

awmfcmswitch = deploy weapons
awmvisor = raise or lower helmet visor
awmmaingear = raise or lower gears (i think) will have to wait till later to try.

All these are 1 or 0 commands... 

That's my contrabution for now.

Does anybody know what an AI block is or an ADDon that will allow to place these.

I'm trying to script Helicoptor movements, but I was told that this may not be possible, unless I use AI blocks for the unit or units to follow.

Any suggestions?

Oh by the way, I found a new action code for airwolf...
The "awmmaingear" only activates the two back gears. 
To activate the front nose gear, this is the action code...  "awmnosgear".

sadly not all addons are 100% and read reviews on them 
i would check for updates on the addon
you might be beating a dead horse here

So I finally got my bird to fly...  Had to change the pilot from "player" to "playable.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to make her land.  How do I create an H for the Heli to land and how to I make it invisible?

[Gcfungus]

This should be fairly simple (I'm hoping  ). Use a getout or land waypoint, and simply use an invisible helipad (it's already built in - no need to make it invisible). Should do it, though helis and planes are always difficult to manipulate exactly.

Thanks Fungus...  I appreciate the help...

Is a regular H done the same way?  Is there still a way to make an invisible Heli pad..

[schuler]

hi Danakin
the invisible Heli pad is there to help the heli land. the only difference is you down have to look at a big H pad on the ground or in a field.

though helis and planes are always difficult to manipulate exactly.

Gcfungus is spot on there. you might have to do some playing around to get things working right

Is there still a way to make an invisible Heli pad..

yes open up the editor like you are makeing a solider, click on empty , then objects , then scroll down , you will see it there.

Sweet thanks...  I managed to get my first two minute cutscene created.  I'll be posting it on Youtube.  I'll update once it's posted.

Is there a way to create a camera and attach to vehicle?  Also I'm also trying to find an easier way of getting position cordinates to enter for the camera.

Any suggestions?
