[SOLVED] BIS build-in parachute script

[Binary]

I may remember wrong.. But don't ArmA 1/2 include a build-in script (like camera.sqs), for parachuting units out of a plane/chopper ?

I seem to remember doing this once, and it worked very well.
There is a lot of scripts for this, for OFP, but they all seem to work.. Well eh.. "Strange".. With parachutes descending wrongly, empty parachutes getting stuck and similar issues.

Anyone remember ??

 they have a para.sqs  yes.

Code: [Select]

; Parachute
; start as: [para_leader, para_vehicle] exec "para.sqs"
_who = group (_this select 0)
_veh = _this select 1

_aunits = units _who

_i = 0
_j = count _aunits

#Loop
(_aunits select _i) action ["EJECT",_veh]
unassignvehicle (_aunits select _i)
_i=_i+1
~1
?_j>_i:goto "Loop"

{unassignvehicle _x} forEach _aunits

_veh flyInHeight 50

 it would be [para_leader, para_vehicle] exec  "\Ca\Data\scripts\para.sqs"  ;

 never tried it but its there

Nice - will try that

Actually, just before checking this thread again, i found the ArmA 1 mission i thought i was using the script in..
Turns out i wasn't  

I was using this:
Paradrop.sqs

Code: [Select]

; AIRBONE PARADROP SCRIPT
; Modified From Rapple.sqs by: Mustang60348
; Modified by: the[]coyote
;
; This script calls two parameters: the name of the group to paradrop
; and the name of the helicopter to paradrop from. Syntax is:
;
; [groupname, heliname] exec "Paradrop.sqs"
;
; In order to use the script, place a trigger where you want to paradrop to start from.
; In the Actvation field type: [groupname, heliname] exec "Paradrop.sqs"
; Once the trigger is activated, the helicopter will drop one paratrooper per second until
; all units in the group are in the skies. Personally, I make the helo stay at limited
; speed and no less than 100 height for safety of the paratroops.

_Group = _this select 0
_Vehicle = _this select 1


_listunits = units _Group

_A = 0
_B = count _listunits
#KEEPSENDING
_listunits select _A action ["EJECT", _vehicle]
Unassignvehicle (_listunits select _A)
_A=_A+1
~1
?_B >_A:goto "KEEPSENDING"
~1
MoveNext = TRUE

Will test both scripts and post the results
Maybe someone can use it for reference


Update:
Couldn't get the BIS para.sqs to work, simply wouldn't fire..
The paradrop.sqs above, worked really well. There is one issue though, as soon as a parachute hits the ground, it keeps going down, and spawning again 1 meter above. This goes away after 1-2 minutes though
