I am trying to add a helicopter sequence to my map and I already have a helicopter which I can move around the map... the problem I have is that the dudes in the helicopter aren't playing their idle animation (they just sit there all stiff-like).

Does anyone know how to get them to idle/what the idle animations are called? I'm using armada.gsc as reference, and I can't seem to find where they are telling them to play their idle animation.

EDIT: I guess I should include my script...

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_anim;

#include maps\_vehicle_aianim;


main()
{
	maps\_blackhawk::main( "vehicle_blackhawk" );
	maps\_load::main();
	
	level.player_heli = maps\_vehicle::scripted_spawn( 0 )[0];
	level.player_heli thread load_player( 3 );
}

load_player( position )
{
	if ( getdvar( "fastrope_arms" ) == "" )
		setdvar( "fastrope_arms", "0" );

	guy = undefined; 
	for ( i = 0; i < self.riders.size; i++ )
	{
		if ( self.riders[ i ].pos == position )
		{
			guy = self.riders[ i ]; 
			guy.drone_delete_on_unload = true; 
			guy.playerpiggyback = true; 
			break; 
		}
	}

	animpos = maps\_vehicle_aianim::anim_pos( self, position );

	guy notify( "newanim" );
	guy detachall();
	guy setmodel( "fastrope_arms" );
	guy useanimtree( animpos.player_animtree );
	thread maps\_vehicle_aianim::guy_idle( guy, position );

	level.player playerlinktodelta( guy, "tag_player", 1.0, 60, 28, 30, 30, true );
	level.player freezecontrols(false);
	
	guy hide();
}

Ooops, nevermind... I got it!

Sorry to open an old thread, but I was just wondering, how you made it work.

Easy... press Shift + V in Radiant and use the 'Ai and Vehicle Interaction' button with the actor and vehicle selected.

You'll have to run map with developer on to generate missing assets for animations, add those, recompile FF, and you're good to go.
