paradrop.sqs (height problems)

[ghostunit]

       I have downloaded two para scrpits both work the same but! in the first waypoint i have a flyinheight of 120-125. when i use anything above this the helli goes around in circles at the next waypoint which is the para.sqs, and does not exec the .sqs. i have even tried this in the missions that came with the scripts and it is the same result pls will someone add to the this script a specifeid height so it will still exec the .sqs. is this a game bug? i want to be able to parachute above 200-300.


_aunits = units L1
_i = 0
_Max = count _aunits

#Here
(_aunits select _i) action ["EJECT",helo]
unassignvehicle (_aunits select _i)
_i=_i+1
~1
?_Max>_i:goto "Here"

exit

I don't know if this helps, but I know toadlife's real HALO script on the front page of this site has the ability to jump from very high and it's an excellent parachute script for AI...  

If that doesn't help, maybe it's the type of chopper you're using?  (The Chinook would probably be the best for high altitudes, but I'm not sure...)

yes i'd recomend toadlifes script.

Unless you want to make an infatic loop setpos script that loops every millisecond and lifts th chopper up half a meter every milisecond so it looks like the chopper is flying up naturally....

Ok, maybe toadlifes script is the best!

I got the same problem but with SEBnam pack, and I don't think they did very much paradrops in nam , so if anybody knows a solution anyway...

btw. my chopper flies at 250 I think

IN order to get a chopper to fly above 120m, you cannot use standard waypoints. You have to use the "move" command.

The way I do it is to use gamelogics as waypoints and a script like so:

chopper move getpos gl1
@chopper distance gl1 < 700
chopper move getpos gl2
@chopper distance gl2 < 700


This is messy but it works relatively well. The distance ususally has to be adjusted according to the alititude the chopper flies at. I can get choppers to fly at 450m using this method. Any alitiude over that will never work.
