Jeep In Chopper anyone figure it out?
« on: 22 Dec 2002, 01:14:07 »
Not really a question but Ive been away from the ofp scene for some time and wondered if anyone figured out how to get the Jeep into the Chinhook then when youre over the landing zone deploy and float jeep to ground with parachutes. If not has anyone tried turning the inertia off in the jeep so It cant utilize the games collission engine. Or am I so far back that everyone is looking at me stupid. havent been here for about a year or two now excuse my retardedness.

Cheers,

With the BIS-created vehicles, you currently cannot place one vehicle within another.

However, some 3rd parties are working (or have completed) vehicles that allow such a thing.  C.f. BAS's MH-47E Chinook, which is still under development.

Here is another way to get a Jeep into a chopper and also transport it:

You drive the jeep into the chopper (BAS or Nam pack), then hide/delete the jeep and spawn a soldier which model has been exchanged to the model of the jeep and let him go into the chopper as cargo. When the model of the soldier is well exchanged it looks like this:

The jeep is attached to the chopper like a soldier sitting in the cargo bay. No script is needed to hold the jeep inside the chopper.
It would also work for other objects or vehicles like ammo boxes or motorbikes.


The only problem I'm still having is that the soldier walks to the entry point to get into the chopper and this looks kinda stoopid when the model of the soldier is a jeep.
I need to find a way to spawn the soldier allready sitting in the chopper or make him go into the vehicle without moving.

LOL you kill me. That script was written well before Resistance, so it did the job at the time, though I don't know of any mission(s) that uses it. Oh well, I had my 15 milliseconds of "fame". :o

I was thinking about something like that , but don't you need to make a separate addon for each vehicle?
