Chopper follows Tank?
« on: 30 Apr 2003, 14:33:59 »
Good day to everyone,
greetins from finland.

How I can make chopper follow tank. I mean, that  I want to my chopper fly quite low and only few meters right/left side of my slow moving tank? ..and after certain mark/trigger/waypoint chopper changes its flying direction to its own way..
Any Ideas?

 ;D

Thank you.   ;)

Have the chopper as part of the tanks group, with lower rank than the tank and use column formation. When you want the chopper to move on, have it join grpnull and give it move commands. Choppers fly low by default, so setting it too low may make it crash into a tall tree. You could set the flyinheight at 25 and it should be ok since it'll be moving slow (speed of tank) and have time to react to terrain changes.

Well, I tried sync's with WP:s, but I think that some kind of script would take its place here. Any ideas?  ;)

Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

Cheers Macguba! =)

Crashnburn's idea is allmost it what I'am looking for, but I would like to have a way to make chopper hower around of my tank.
My idea is, that my chopper fly only few meters above or left/right side of my tank.. ofcourse chop must fly very low and limited speed..
With right script I could make my chopper fly exactly like it should do..  :)
