East Air suv18 won't sit still!

[Namo]

I place it on the tarmac select "none" in special and it still keeps on moving away, I want it to sit still dammit!

Is this a bug or am I just stupid? I got $50 riding on me being stupid.

[Namo]

shit sorry I didn't say it proply man, I fixed the previous problem and they go where I want em, the problem now, is that the planes (not choppers) won't sit still they dont have a waypoint yet and they go to their right when I never told em to.

[Namo]

Sorry for not making myself clearer, I am just frustrated and I didn't re read what I wrote.

I just want the damn plane to sit still now that I got it where I want, the placement is fine, it's just now it moves without me telling it too and turns to the right.

Apologies Namo, I've deleted my post.

Are they kind of sliding, or are they moving like they are supposed to (I mean when you tell them to)

[Artak]

The problem is propably that you've got them planes on a group and the group leader automaticly 'tells' them to fall back in formation.

I can't think of any way to get it fixed other than you
unitname setfuel 0
on them with a script or a trigger or better yet on their init fields.
then when you want them to start moving again (take off) you put
unitname setfuel 1
to the trigger or waypoint or whatever which your using to tell them to take of.

get it?  ;D

Nah firstly I had just one dude in a A10 and me watching him not connected to a groupo and he doesnt have anything like waypoints and such, just the 2 of us, and he starts moving bunny hopping like and goes to his right.

even in group they do the same thing

[Namo]

Also, With choppers I have no problem, I have made choopers as reinforcements and they work perfectly, it's just with planes they are fuxored.

[Artak]

hmm.. do the setfuel thing even still. I think it will help.

[Namo]

Ok I will try that setfuel thing.

So   this jack setfuel 0 in init? then jack setfuel 1 on a waypoint?

[Artak]

Yes that'll do it.. but make sure the waypoint isn't jack's because if jack has no fuel he'll never make it to his waypoint and thus can never get no fuel to get to his waypoint and thus.....

[Namo]

hmmm it won't let me do it..  It says unknown operater jack

[Namo]

I am confused now, if the plane starts with no fuel then how can it reach it's waypoint?

[Artak]

It can't. You need to give him fuel when you want him to start flying.

hmm..  :hmm:

you put in jack setfuel 0 in jack's init field
- Jack has no fuel and stays where he is

you make a trigger (activated by radio alpha for example) and in it's on activation field you put jack setfuel 1
- Jack realises he has fuel and starts up his engines and off he goes to his waypoints

[Namo]

lol

Jack sounds like a dumbarse

Ok, I will try what you said and let you know how I went.

[Namo]

well it wont let me name him jack and I tried it without namming him and he just sits there..
