How to eject a unit without opening the parachute?

[kevind2003]

Hi,

Anyone can teach me what's the command to do that? The halo scripts are too difficult for me to understand  :-\

Too difficult? Now, I am pretty good at avoiding scripts, but your problem, I'm afraid, demands a script, and nothing else. The HALO scripts can't be that hard. I've never used them, but you don't need to write the script yourself. Just follow their instructions.

I REALLY want the halo thing, and I downloaded it and followed the instructions, but I still can't get it to work...

Hello

*I HOPE I CAN EXPLAIN THIS WELL

HALO JUMP

Heres what to do:

Scripts
description.ext

respawn = "instant"
respawndelay = 15
};

ejct.sqs

~2
_group = _this select 0
leader _group say "eng20"
_delay = 0.4

;main part of script (edit at own risk)
_count = count units _group
_num = _count - 1


#eject
_time = 0
_unit = units _group select _num
unassignvehicle _unit
[_unit] ordergetin false
_unit action ["eject", vehicle _unit]
?_num == 0:goto "exit"
_num = _num - 1
&_delay
goto "eject"


#exit
helo1 flyinheight 100
helo1 move [0,0,0]
@unitready helo1
deletevehicle helo1
exit

init.sqs

_units = ["w1","w2","w3","w4","w5","w6","w7","w8","w9"]

{[_x,150,30,500] exec {real_halo.xsqs}} foreach _units

hint format["Hello %1! I hope this will help you, OFPWiZard.]
exit

Automatically
Open a new mission (Ex: Desert Island)
Save as HALO JUMP
Press Alt + Esc to close OFP (Brings to taskbar)
Drag all the scrips (description.ext, eject.sqs, and init.sqs) into the folder called HALO JUMP.Intro
this will be in:
C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Users\Name\missions\HALO JUMP.Intro
Open Flashpoint again by clicking it on the Taskbar
Make a chopper (UH60)
Name is helo1
In the Chopper's Initialization Field:  this flyInHeight 500;  this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, 500]
Make waypoint for helo1 type Move, speed Normal, and put a long way from the chopper so it will go and you can eject yourself and your men, or have it automatically like how i am going to say right now.
Make a group (9 People)
Name them w1 - w9
In the Officer's (Leader's) Initialization Field:  "_x moveInCargo helo1" foreach units group this; west1 = group this
Make two triggers
        Trigger One
Axis A 150 and Axis B 600
Type Rectangle
Activation West - Present
On Activation: leader west1 say "eng13; [west1] exec "eject.sqs"
Put the trigger on the line of the waypoint where ever you want the group to eject.
   
Manually
       Trigger Two
Type Repeatedly
Activation Radio Alpha - Countdown (0,0,0)
Title Eject Group
On Activation [west1] exec "eject.sqs"
Use this to eject manually by press 0,0,1 in game to eject the group by yourself.

Hope this works, bye

Although this normally seems strange:

planewithnomenin setPos getPos planewithmenin; deleteVehicle planewithmenin; planewithnomenin setVelocity [0,50,-8]

that will make a new plane where the old one was, delete the old plane (and therefore make everyone eject(without parachutes)) and will make the new plane go flying down

(RES ONLY)

Thanks OFP Wizard I'm almost there, but when I try it, I get an error saying

‘|#|{[_x,150,30,500] exec {real_halo.xsqs]] foreach _units': Error invalid number in expression

In white text in the top left hand corner of the screen (this is with manually telling them to eject - I couldn't get them to automatically do it). Then, if I press 001, it says "gogogo" etc., but they are doing normal parachuting. Any suggestions?  :-\

Agent Fire could i send you what i made in an email?

Because i explained it as well as i can, i also did it over (making the mission) and it should work out if you put and do everything as i said.

[Agent Fire]

ok. If it's small enough can u send it to "bullfrog_173@hotmail.com"?

[OFPWiZard]

I sent the email

[Agent Fire]

Thanks - email recieved. I'll se what I can do.  :toocool:
