What is it you kids say these days?

[Morglor9]

I must say, Roni's idea is great. it's a dimension of OFP that is possible, but i believe has not been explored...

I noticed something the other day, when you're falling you can run in the sky

[Dubieman]

 
M'kay...

[penguinman]

which is a great thing to use in cutsceens with AI by using play move and simulating them falling off a cliff or somthing.

the running can look like flaling around like sombody would do if they fell off a cliff

[Morglor9]

umm...what does this have to do with the request for mission ideas?

[dmakatra]

Maybe he thought it was a HALO mission? ;D

Okay - I see the link !  Here's the mission -

Six players, 20,000 feet, one parachute.  Each player has a "knife attack" addaction and a continuous script running that allows them to slightly change their facing or rate of descent via the usual mouse movements.  Because OFP does not allow actions while falling I may have to create an invisible vehicle to carry them as they fall, with the scripts attached . . .   :hmm:   :joystick:

Players will have to fight each other with knife swings as they're falling - if you can kill the guy with the parachute then you can put it on, but this will take a few seconds and a number of keystrokes (  :hmm:  ) so while you're putting the chute on you may have to stop to fend off your fellow fallers attentions.    :help:

And just for fun, if you stop putting on the chute to fend of an attack there may be a small chance that you might "drop" it, making it owned by nobody !   :noo:

Total mission length to be around 90 seconds.  End result will be 5 or 6 pretty splatter patterns and up to one cigar smoking parachutist.  Extra points for landing on Angelina or General Guba, or the one strategially placed trampoline . . .  

Okay, who's going to script this ?   ;D

Sounds even better than the Shrimp Mod. ;D

I have an idea:

how about instead of the old "beat up the evil soviets" storyline, you play as a FIA member. the only change is: the FIA for some reason now loves the russians and hate the americans. it would put an interesting twist on three well known sides.

[dmakatra]

Already been done, although not too often.

Play Retaliation campaign, it puts a new perspective on the 1985 conflict.

I already thought about fighting in the air for a parachute but would it be possible? OFP is terrible with close combat and it would be a VERY hard job!
