Making the Landing Gear raise
« on: 27 Dec 2003, 03:13:47 »
I dont know if this has been posted or not ... but i checked the faq and couldnt find just what i was looking for.  What i have is a helicopter with retractable landing gear and i want the pilot which is a computer controlled character to raise the landing gear when he takes off in the chopper ... would i have to use a trigger or waypoint to acheive this or is there just a way to make him do it when the chopper reaches a certain altitude during ascent?


Thanks in advance,
Hitek

If you are talking about one of the standard choppers then it can't be done.  The landing gear on the Hinds and Apaches are fixed.

LCD is correct ( ::) )

Either in an example mission, read-me et cetera there should be some sort of example, documentation on how (if any) all of the animations of a particular addon are operated, they maybe activted through the ACTION menu or requiring a script to active them.

An example of a script (syntax) way is this :-

To deactivate :-

_vehicle animate ["jumpdoorAnimation",0]

AND to activate :-

_vehicle animate ["jumpdoorAnimation",1]

This is taken from a JU25 made by Trenchfeet ( something to do with AIA :) )

( Were _vehicle is "this select0" )

Hope this helps in anyway possible :)

That's not quite correct, LCD.     You were wrong once ... You thought you were wrong about something but it turned out you were right.     ;D
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

Does this mean he has been wrong twice now?
