BAS MH47 - Fast-Rope / Rappelling Question

[Demmun]

Greetings,

I have been reading the forums on the subject of AI Squads fast-rope/rappelling from a "BAS MH47-E" .
I have followed the instructions as closely as possible, but I must still be doing something wrong.

As I understand it -
1.The MH47 must "hold position".

I have entered the following into the 1st MH47 waypoint where I want the AI Squad to fast-rope/rappel:

[ChopperName] exec {\bas_mh47e_185\fx\holdpos.sqs}

2.The MH47 must be given the order to allow the AI Squad in the chopper to fast-rope/rappel

I have entered the following into a 2nd MH47 waypoint located next to the 1st one:

[ChopperName] exec "basrappel2.sqs"

I have downloaded the "basrapel2.sqs" script and it is in my mission folder.




As the MH47 reaches the 1st waypoint the result that I get is -

1.A message at the bottom of the screen tells me that I have given the MH47 an order to "Hold Position"
(I assume that the MH47 has now reached the 1st waypoint and is executing the "holdpos.sqs" script)

2.The MH47 hovers over the 1st waypoint.

3.A message at the top of the screen tells me:
"Holding Position"
"Execute Maneuver"

4.A few second later the rear ramp of the MH47 opens and a rope is deployed.
(I assume that the MH47 has now reached the 2nd waypoint and is executing the "basrappel.sqs" script)

5.A few seconds later the rear ramp closes, the rope disappears and the MH47 flies on to its next waypoint without the AI Squad exiting the MH47.

I am at a loss. I appreciate, and thank you ahead of time for helping me with my problem.

sounds like nothing is going wrong per say, just you have ommited a script...

first script makes the chopper hold solid in the air... second one deploys the rope and opens the ramps... i think you need a third to make them rappel

Carpe Diem

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question.

Do you know what the script is that I need?

not off hand... i don't want to sound patronizing, but check the read me again... i've made the AI fast rope before, and never had a problem - i just copied and pasted from the read me  

sorry i cant be of more help... this is one of those you've just copied something wrong... also could be a game of trial and error with the waypoints etc

good luck :thumbsup:
