2 Ideas

[BubbaPut]

I have a couple of ideas that could realy help game play.....

1) A personal altimeter.... All it would need to do is show how high your were, I enjoy HALO jumping and sometimes its hard to guess how high you are. If would not be hard add it to the action menu to be able turn it off when you land.

2) After playing with the BAS Blackhawks I think it would be cool to call for a helo pickup (or any unit) have the unit join your group, use it for as long as you need and then tell the unit to return to base and leave your group. This could be done using the radio, although it would be cool to to have in the action menu. I know the basic functions

Unit join group:
      [unit] join player;

unit = the unit you want to join
player = the leader of the group (i am not sure if the
                                                     global variable player works)

Unit leave group:
      [unit] join bye;

unit = the unit you want to leave the group
bye = the unit leave group

When the unit leaves the group have it go to a predefined marker and land(or park.)

If anybody can do these it would be cool. Thanx

One of the steerable parachutes has something like the personal alt meter..
It was a hint that changed every few seconds, that had the hight and speed I think..
I'll have a look for it in a minute...

Uhm, I'm looking for an altimeter script aswell, to use with Tadlife's HILO script.
I really need that to get throgu with a mission I'm making.
Any sugestions will be welcome.

Heres the script from 21vbGlider (Not sure who made it... Anyone?)

Code: [Select]

?!(local player):exit
#Start
_height = getPos player select 2
_Plheight = (_height * 1)-((_height * 1) mod 1)
_PDfeet = ((_Plheight / 0.304) * 1)-(((_Plheight / 0.304) * 1) mod 1)
hint format ["Height\n%1 meters\n%2 feet", _Plheight, _PDfeet]
? ((getPos player select 2 < 50) OR !HEIGHTPLAYER): exit
~2
goto "start"

I don't take credit for this or anything (HArdly understand most of it )

I'd guess youd save it as per_alt.sqs and exec it from the init menu.. Then jump!!
From what I see, name the player, "player"...

I've not tested it, yet.. BTW

Hope this helps!
