Animated C130 crashes - Eventually dropping carepackages at way points

oooooo I asked grafzahl about this when he released the choppers, he said that class wasn't available in chernarus. I played with a10s but never tried the chutes. I am going to have to start tinkering in my test server now :D
 
I dont mind lol, saves me the work of having to do it :p Im working on wayyyy to many things at once, kinda get side tracked to much
 
If you manage to get it working you can create a post with it or tell me how u did it and ill add it to the tutorial. It means I can spend more time on my humanity systems and teaming systems :D
 
the loot spawn shudnt be to hard, depends how u coded it to drop the carepackages :p Could steal the bit of coding from where it creates the wreck of the c130 crash and delete the carepackage when it hits the ground and spawn in a new one the way the wrecks work :p
 
//Get position of the helis wreck, but make sure its on the ground;
_pos = [getpos _crashwreck select 0, getpos _crashwreck select 1,0];
_landedPos = [getpos _crashwreck select 0, getpos _crashwreck select 1];

possibly something like _carepos = getpos _carepackage blah blah blah.

then have it spawn the the carepackage the way it does the wrecks by using
the rest of the code minus the dead soldiers and add another varible for the Netted boxes and call for that insted once it has landed insted of the _crashmodel

_carecrash = createVehicle [_careModel, _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

This is just off the top of my head, havnt tested or looked at the coding in depth yet :p
 
yea got it working already... gotta add some exceptions like if it doesnt get to the ground within 30secs it gets set down automaticly

basic construct is ready kinda... some tweaking here and there and have a look into the BE filters .. coz attachto should give some problems e.g.

but will do that tomorrow :D
 
kinda stuck at the moment, i want to get the drop locations for chernarus by using bis_fnc_findsafepos

goal is to only drop it in some kind of rotated L shape area along the coast ... to help the bambies to gear up with some basic stuff coz i dont want them to mirror the heli crashes

i defined a new center and radius.. and blacklisted some area... and its just not doing it :S

what i got:
Code: 
_blacklist = [[0.101, 15360.1], [11075.6,5328.23]];
//first array: top left corner, second array: somewhere around msta
_spawnMarker = [8910.85,3474.14];
//somewhere near pusta
_preWaypointPos = [_spawnMarker,0,8000,10,0,1000,0,_blacklist] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

result:
Code: 
17:41:28 Error in expression <"_maxX", "_minY", "_maxY"];
_minX = _tl select 0;
_maxX = _br select 0;
_minY = >
17:41:28  Error position: <select 0;
_maxX = _br select 0;
_minY = >
17:41:28  Error select: Type Number, expected Array,Config entry
17:41:28 File ca\modules\functions\misc\fn_isPosBlacklisted.sqf, line 37

anyone got an idea?
 
Possibly if we modify the random way points to random fixed ones and have it fly from kemenka, with different random waypoints

So lets say for examples WP1 is near the spawn location, WP2 random from say 4 or 5 different locations, wp3 the same wp4 the same wp 5 the same, wp 6 random crash location that way it will drop a carepackage at points we define are safe

unless someone else can come up with a better way, thats the most simple way i could think of.

However I can give you a piece of coding that will push bright green or whatever color smoke off carepackages if you want them to just be random locations at the random waypoints

Looks like you've got a syntax error somewhere in your code.
Also I haven't got fn_isPosBlacklisted.sqf anywhere? =S

anyways, i added some static points along the coast as a workaround... gonna release my first ugly version... its heavily customized for my own needs...

first of all, credits to grafzahl who wrote the original animated heli crash script and to Leh2012 and Gerasimow9 who wrote the c130 cargo drop script...

===========================================================

so, coz i'm lazy and stuff i havent renamed many variables and there are some unused in the script still, cba to clean it up yet...

please note: there are static coords for drop points in the script, they are designed to work with chernarus!!!

===========================================================

thats it.. i hope it works :D

Loving it mate :D

We swapped the an2 for an osprey as we have a lot of planes on our server and players moan when they don't know if it's AI or not. Great work thx for your work and your mod too Zombz guys
 
Just trying to figure out now how to announce it in global from the server PBO :p Got the coding set up to translate the co-ords already, so i shud have the announcement ready in a day or two, If i can figure out how to only announce it to players with a radio ill add that in

That way radios then become a handy part of the game.

Also had a few cool ideas for this script will be testing those out too, and releasing when done. just gotta look through the coding and locate the static waypoints u added for the coast so i can modify them for a 2nd script that will run aswell :p
 
does someone have crashed an2 model name ? ?
and also an2 model name is AN2_DZ not just AN2 so you could change that in first post.

Did you try AN2Wreck? Otherwise there's some code you can run to show you the cursor target ID on screen in game, can't remember where I saved it though.
