Parachuting From A Plane

[LAPD]

Hi Again :wave:

I've been reading in the tutorials and the snippets about parachuting. It's been a bit difficult to understand so i'll ask here (that's way there is a forum right?  ). I need a script to get my black op jumping out of the plane and the automaticly open his parachute. I don't know how . My black op name is Op and my Plane name is Plane (of course   ).

If someone can please write the code for this i'll be very grateful (i'll activate the script from a trigger).

Thanks

As we are still in the topic, I want to ask another question:
Is there any command or way to lock the player's keys so he won't be able to select action from the actions menu?

The situation is that the player is inside a player which is controled by the AI and I don't want the player to be able to select "eject", as I want him to eject only on a certain zone which be in a script will be activated by a trigger (and that's my question in the post above).

Thanks

O.K.  Here's what ya do...  

name your plane... name the moron that you want to eject...

we'll call em jet and moron for this example


make yourself a couple of triggers (could be done by script... but triggers work just as well... )

First I'll deal with your eject trigger....  

Simply put this on the activation:

moron action ["eject"]

and choose whatever condition you want for it to be activated...    

now... about your second Q.....  

make two more triggers..... they can be any size   0 x 0 will work fine for these two....  

in the condition field of one put this

moron in jet

on the activation field put this:

disableuserinput true


then for your second...
condition: moron not in jet
activation disableuserinput false


this should work for ya

First of all thanks for replying.

Well, I tried what you, but when I wrote this line:
Moron not in Jet

in the trigger condition field it did not recieve it.
What should I do?

Second thing, the black op did not parachute out of the plane when I wrote:
Moron Action ["Eject"]

And of course, the black op name was Moron.

Hmm...   was the plane named jet ?   maybe you just forgot to mention that in the last post... ;D


about the eject thing ....  


Syntax :
unitName action ["actionType"]

unitName is the name of the unit to do the action


Example :
moron action ["EJECT"]

     
     and here's the deal with the players not being able to eject before you want them to......... instead of making your trigger set off by west/present  or not present...   etc....  make it none.. or empty.. whatever it is.. you get the idea..

then using: moron in jet  
should work ... once that is true...whatever is in the activation field should be well... activated  

then.... check this bit out from the command ref:

Example :
DisableUserInput TRUE

Notes:
This command appears to disable processing of input by the game. So when set to TRUE, NO keys will be processed. This includes the ESC key. User may still ALT-TAB or CTRL-ALT-DELETE as these are trapped by windows before the game processes them.

Now.. this could possibly only work in a script....    
but I know it works for cutscenes and such.. cause that's how you can prevent people from skipping over your pretty cutscenes ...  ;D

Thank you both, but I solved it by myself (with little help from you).

As I did the disableuserinput true I wasn't able to do a thing, and since it's in a mission and not in a cutscnece, this wasn't good. So I tried to lock the plane, and it worked, since the black op was already inside the plane, he couldn't get out, and when the trigger to activate the parachute came, I opened the plane again.

To right command to eject is actually:

Moron action ["eject", vehicle Moron]

Only then it worked, as this dosen't work:

Moron action ["eject"]

Thanks Kaliyuga and LCD
