chopper formations

[gadolinite]

Hello, I am back, got off flashpoint and am into C&C generals.  I wanted to know how you get 2 cobras and an chinook to "always" fly in a perfect formation for a cutscene

You can? Thats great!

Sorry to say, but the bloody things won't travel in perfect formation "always". Just for the books, they don't usually travel in it most of the time.

if you wanted to make a script that made them move back together if they got too far away, you could do that thought.

try something like this:

Code: [Select]

#DistanceHelo
? [i]heloOne[/i] distance [i]heloTwo[/i] > 30
[i]heloTwo[/i] doMove (getPos [i]heloOne[/i] select 0+15,getPos [i]heloOne[/i] select 1, getPos [i]heloOne[/i] select 2).
Goto DistanceHelo
That should work. Nonetheless, its not perfect, and it still wont make the helicopters fly in perfect formation.

Good luck, and happy editing!
Cheers, Tyger

Put each chopper into a seperate group with seperate waypoints.     Or use triggers and GLs rather than waypoints.

Whats up with the code? I take it we're not supposed to add italicies in a code?

Crap!

Oh well...
And listen to macguba. Mine's a little complicated...

I guess I just havin' a bad day. :'(
