Quick Rope Extraction

[Pandoz]

Alright im not sure if u've all seen this done before. But what some branches of the US military (and others too probably but im not gunna say that cause im not positive) do is use a rope and harnesses to extract soldiers quickly. they get a long fast-roping rope and dangle it from a blackhawk or other decent sized heli. They then hook about 10-20 guys to it with harnesses and fly away meanwhile taking all these guys with them that are attached to this rope

                 Well i think this could be done possibly...but im not very interested in doing it myself since i know that i wont use it but it could still add another for of transportation in our maps. The easiest way i thought would be using Setpos for each one on the list once they are on the rope. If u decide to make it please keep us updated or if u dont wanna make it tell other suggestions in here for other ideas similar to this or improvements.

Since you need a rope addon for this anyways, you can integrate some cargo positions into the rope and make only a setpos to the rope.

That is refered to as SPIE rigging.  it is predominatly USMC.

Is there a rope anywhere?  Would be nice to do this again  ;D

I seem to miss the point, but whats the point in this?

I mean you would have to go low to use it, just as well land...


I would rather like a rope that hang under the helo, that has one single cargo proxy...

When you are close to the bottom of the rope you can grab it, abd you are moved into cargo...using the custom anim for rapell to hang there...

Then the HELO can winch in the rope, an anim that shrink it slowly, and when you reach the chopper you are ejected and moveincargoed....so that you can be extracted in safety...

The rope is constantly setposed like a fasttrope...

cool?

YES, very nice for picking up downed pilots in woods...
