plane take off (North Nogova)
« on: 17 Aug 2003, 19:34:16 »
I have a little problem in the mission editor to make a plane take off on the little aerodrome in the island north Nogova. (see attached file)
When i positionned a plane in this airport with some waypoint to follow (in a cutscene) the plane want absolutly  make a take off to the principal airport of the island (east of Nogova : desert).
So, it drive through the landscape to reach this airport. It's a little bit annoying !   :-\
Is there a possibility to execute an automatic take off in this little airport ???

Thanks.

 As far as I know you can only have one working runway per island in OFP...  

 there are parts in the islands config.cpp that are essentially waypoint positions for AI pilots when taxiing , taking off and landing...

so I would imagine that the pilot is just heading for his taxi waypoint over on the other runway...

Of course i know that, but i would like to image that someone has made a script or some trigger in mission editor that make the plane taking off in this airport. (a script or other, against the AI Pilot)

I just want to find a way to do that. I tried with the functions : setvelocity and setdirection to avoid AI to attract the plane in the other airport, but i find some bugs : the plane crash before taking of, at 120 speed !!!

You could probably fake it with a sequence of waypoints down the runway and good use of setvelocity, setpos and flyingheight commands.
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

thanks a lot for your replies. ;)

I have done the taking off. It is Ok. I have just the speed that is a little bit  important (if i slow down the taking off, the plane crash  ???).

Thanks. It will stay like that.
