drop crate

[Zombie]

Does anyone have a copy of Dark Nova's dropcrate.sqs?  It used to be here but I guess got lost in the backup.  I used it for OFP and want to try it for Arma.

There are other Paradrop scripts in the Editors Depot, try some of those out.

Actually, I have, and they are less than friendly to ArmA, I also found them less easy to use in OFP for ammocrates than the dropcrate.sqs

Code: [Select]

_pos = getpos chopper

_ammobox = "ReammoBoxWest" createVehicle [0,0,0]
_parachute = "Parachute" camCreate [(_pos select 0) + 2,(_pos select 1) + 10, 175]
_parachute setdir random 360
_logic = "Logic" camCreate [0,0,0]
_logic moveInDriver _parachute

#ParaLoop
_parachute setVelocity [(velocity _parachute select 0) / 1.1, (velocity _parachute select 1) / 1.1, -6]
_ammobox setPos [getPos _logic select 0, getPos _logic select 1, (getPos _logic select 2) + 1]
_ammobox setdir getdir _logic
~0.01
? vehicle _logic != _logic : goto "ParaLoop"

_ammobox setPos [getPos _ammobox select 0, getPos _ammobox select 1, 0]
deleteVehicle _logic
;_smoke = "SmokeShellGreen" camCreate [getpos _ammobox select 0, getpos _ammobox select 1, 1]
that's from a script tyger wrote. no idea if it's dropcrate or what, but it's what i use. hope it's of use.

I was able to use your script bedges, but I had to modify it for my particular application, and do some tweaks for arma, here is what I am using, and it works pretty well, thanks for the jumpstart!

Code: [Select]

_chopper = "seagull" camcreate (getpos player)
_chopper flyInHeight 100;
_chopper setpos [getpos _chopper select 0,getpos _chopper select 1, 100]
_pos = getpos _chopper

_parachute = "Parachutewest" createvehicle (getpos _chopper)
_parachute flyInHeight 50
_parachute setpos [getpos _parachute select 0,getpos _parachute select 1, 100]
_parachute setdir random 360
_logic = "Logic" createvehicle (getpos _chopper)
_logic moveInDriver _parachute
deletevehicle _chopper
#ParaLoop
_parachute setVelocity [(velocity _parachute select 0) / 1.1, (velocity _parachute select 1) / 1.1, -6]
crate1 setPos [getPos _logic select 0, getPos _logic select 1, (getPos _logic select 2) + 1]
crate1 setdir getdir _logic
~0.01
? vehicle _logic != _logic : goto "ParaLoop"

crate1 setPos [getPos crate1 select 0, getPos crate1 select 1, 0]
deleteVehicle _logic
? local server : smoke = "smokeshellgreen" createvehicle getpos crate1

If the current scripts in our scripting depot aren't what you're looking for, because they might not be improved / working in ArmA, I suggest uploading your own. It turns out that you found a script (tyger's one) and improved it, if you think that more people could use it, please add a readme (don't forget to credit tyger), maybe a demo mission possibly some pictures and the optimized script and post it in ArmA Editing Resources.

[Zombie]

Good idea Cheetah, I will put that together and u/l it today.  In the same mission I have also used a conversion of toadlifes real_halo.sqs which I will include as well

thanks for the effort zombie
