hey

does someone have a idea how to land a blackhawk per script ?

the blackhawk should fly, land, and fly again.


also i wanted a smoth unlink for the player(with unlink but some movements for the camera.)

thx tschiggen

You should be able to use "setvehgoalpos" to give it a goal node.

You can use "setgoalyaw" to turn it the direction you want.

To make it wait, check out the script file for your vehicle, it should have a wait or idle function to keep it there.

Take a look at Airlift or Blackout's script files for examples of helicopters that spawn in, land, then take off again...

Hope this helps!

well does somebody whats the vehicletype of this ch46e (seaknight from airlift)

According to _vehicletypes.gsc it's "vehicle_ch46e"

i tried. it didnt worked. xD

i used "vehicle_ch46e" as model!

dude!!! lol the info u are looking for is in the _utility.gsc. functions are:

	struct = getstruct( "auto195", "targetname" );//<-- struct or veh node for heli to go to
	struct waittill( "trigger", heli );//<- waittill he reaches the node
	
	heli thread vehicle_detachfrompath();//<- name says it
	heli vehicle_land();//<- ditto

         ( heli do stuff.....)

     heli vehicle_resumepath();//carry on with ur path heli, carry on

im sure u know u have to define ur heli and include the _utility.gsc as you should have done from the start and this should all be easy then.

ok it worked. thank you.


so now another question xD:

when i use level.player unlink();
the player is inside the model. it just looks ugly. so i tried

level.player movex(10,1,0,0);

but it says

"entity 0 is not an ..."

so it doesnt work with the player. someone got a idea how i could move the player outside ?

I remember posting a COD2 jeep tutorial. There is this one command that moves the player away from the vehicle automatically. It looks more like an animation.

The script is a bit long but I believe you can understand. The player links to a dummy and the dummy move to another position.

This is the part

{
blah blah //your codes
thread jeepGetOut(); //important
}


jeepGetOut()
{
jeep = getent ("jeep","targetname"); //game finds the jeep
dummy = spawn("script_origin", jeep
getTagOrigin("tag_player_passenger") ); //finds the tag
dummy.angles = jeep getTagAngles("tag_player_passenger");

level.player unlink(); //unlink the player from the vehicle
level.player linkto (dummy); //link to dummy

endPos = (736, -1392, 24); //the location where you want to get off
dummy moveTo(dummy.origin + (0,0,10), .6, .3, .2); //leave it
dummy moveTo(endPos, .6, .3, .2); //leave it unless
wait .5; //wait

level.player unlink(); //gets off of the dummy

}

This code should work. Basically, it's linking to a dummy. I haven't used it yet in COD4 b/c I was kinda lazy. Will use it for final release.

i know wat ur talking and wat u want. if you seen my video of the map update when i have the player link to the heli u can also unlink it smoothly if you hel lerp player view to tag and vice versa when you unlink him. btw wat vehicle are you using and where are you linking him to?

i use blackhawk model and i link him to "tag_passenger"
