Thanks to Bohemia Interactive for the greatest Mil Sim game of all time.
Thanks so much for watching! - เกม
Fantastic, easy setup....huge payout on immersion! Nice. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for making all these videos. I've referred to them so many times and I'm impressing the heck out of my friends with the missions I'm making. Couldn't do it with out you! Cheers!
Glad I could help mate. Take care.
Thanks so much for all of these great vids and obvious hard work. Been beating my skull against a wall trying to figure out a way to make a para drop and this vid popped up. Still cant get the speed to slow down, but I'll figure it out, I think lol. This in-itself is worthy of a monthly sub. Thanks again!
Thanks mate, glad you liked the video.
@@OnlineCombatBN Found the culprit speed was set to -1 in the planes settings. Thanks heaps
I like the AUscam uniforms and flag patch. Noice mate
As always a job well done!
I appreciate that
So helpful thank you so much
Nice. This bloke is brilliant.
Thanks mate. Appreciate that.
The RHS paradrop script makes the static line parachutes; the code explained in this video can be used on a move waypoint and that should ensure everyone has the same parachute
How do I make it so it’s only static line?
Worked like a charm but Ii noticed the ASL was typed out as AGL heads up. Thanks for the share
Awesome.
Are you aware of a script that will dump the paratroopers out in a short distance? I know you mentioned slowing the plane down so they jump closer together, but that has been only somewhat effective... If you can think of anything, I'd love to know! Thanks!
Not that I'm aware of. I'll have a look and see what I can find.
@@OnlineCombatBN Thanks!
@@OnlineCombatBN So, I looked at the waypoint, and under "Waypoint Specific - Waypoint: Infantry Paradrop" there's a delay setting for how long to wait for each drop. I think that'll do what I wanted.
So now I have to ask. How do you make the ai and you all use static line Parachutes.
Also, can u make a video showing how to make the ai paratroopers have a backpack on chest like Real paratroopers so when they Lans they get rid of the Parachute and put on the backpack. Mabey u can explain how the backpack on chest mod works
I'll find the class names for the static line and use back pack on chest mod and do another video.
@@OnlineCombatBN thank you so much. My goal is to create a sp Airborne mission
any clues as to why i cant load troops in the plane - it worked once. Now when I drag and drop they just land outside of the vehicle I can’t place them inside
I'm finding that if I place the paratroopers into the aircraft on the ground, when they eventually land on their parachutes, they always without exception try to walk/fight their way back to the airfield they took off from. That's frustrating.
Could the reason for getting two different kinds of parachutes be, that you use the RHS script built into the RHS waypoint AND additionally put your own script into the "On Activation" field?
In your video until timestamp 08:51 you use a "standard Arma 3 move waypoint". From 11:46 you use the RHS Infantry paradrop script. At the bottom of the RHS waypoint there is a field "Script" which points to the "RHS built in script" "
hsafrf\addons
hs_c_air\scripts\WP_ParaInf.sqf".
So you have two different scripts executed with one waypoint at the same time! I think you have to choose one of the two options. The standard waypoint with your script works fine, even without the RHS waypoint. And the RHS waypoint works great without your code.
Or am i totally wrong with this?
The second thing are the "double" waypoints at timestamp 07:45. These are 4 waypoints.
When you highlighted the Plane you marked all units in it. So when you thought you created one waypoint, you really created 4 (for Alpha 1-2, Alpha 1-3, Alpha 1-4 and Alpha 1-5). One for each marked unit.
Then you moved one waypoint up (the one for Alpha 1-5 as seen in the video) and as you deleted the "ONE" remaining waypoint on the ground you really deleted the remaining 3.
But that's not important. I searched a long time for a working script. I had one for Arma 2 "decades" ago, but that has been outdated for a long time.
Now, thank's to you and your video, i have TWO working options for a paradrop script.
Thank you very much!
hi OCB, copied the same code all worked except I had to manually deploy my parachute using the scroll wheel
You mentioned the RHS mod, but when I go into the workshop there are hundreds of them. Any chance you could point me to the ones I need? Thank you in advance; I know how much time videos like this take to put together.
Search for 'Red Hammer Studios' that's the official RHS mod makers stuff.
@@OnlineCombatBN Copy. Thanks for the info and the quick reply. Cheers.
Would anyone know how I get around the bug with this when also using ace? The hurc will sometimes do as it’s told when the player isn’t in the vehicle however when I am, the ai just fly off and try to land somewhere
Is there a way of putting thier backpacks on their chests when they spawn in? Want playable units be able to land then switch their full backpacks to chest. At the moment it just deletes the backpack and replaces it with the parachute.
There is a mod called 'back pack on chest' but you'll need to also use ACE for that.
@@OnlineCombatBN Thanks
Thanks
You're welcome.
if your getting an error saying something like the init is missing a ; then change it from flyinHeightAGL to flyinHeightASL
I'm using this for a paradrop infil and one of my AI guys is dropping with a static line chute like 400 meters early. Whats the fix for that?
Did you see the update to this video? Have a look at that and you might find the fix.
@@OnlineCombatBN Something I just noticed, in the video the flyinheight script says ASL but the pastebin link says AGL, but I got the parachute issue sorted out, but my plane is still flying the contour of the land and I cant figure out why. Just got back to editing it since my computer kind of broke a couple weeks ago.
Someone posted a comment about keeping your troops in the vehicle, which appears to have since been deleted. Just to be clear, the whole idea of this tutorial is to have your troops GET OUT of the vehicle.... :D
Hey I don’t see damage thing on what do I do
I used the code exactly in the way it was shown but still the paratroopers wont jump out whats wrong? Is this waypoint even useful? I always have trouble with the get out waypoints as well.
What other mods are you using?
@@OnlineCombatBN Probably too many. But I got it working by downloading this really useful composition on the workshop called paradrop. I just copied the code from the waypoint into mine. My campaign has just been released titled Mafia Sahrani. Please check it out and lemme know what you think.
@@mbrad9379 nice. Good to see some people here getting their missions out there.
Does anyone know if there is a script that will equip have the ai equip an alternate backpack and add things into it or maybe have the ai pickup a backpack off the ground once they have landed?
Just finished the video is it just me or did it look like Valor’s bag was replaced upon landing?
@@henryschmidt485 pretty sure I did not jump so I had a standard back pack. 😅
@@OnlineCombatBN i might be just crazy but at the very end of the video when you were demoing it the static line switched back to your carryall pack, is that just because it was a static line?
Thanks for this video. I hate to ask but I've pasted the script (below) into the herc under object init field and I get this error "init: missing ;" but the code im pasting has that. So im not sure if someone may know what missing here? I have no other scripts running. Thanks and the video have taught me so much. I really appreciate it. Cheers....
herc flyinHeightAGL [300, 300, 300];
You copied it correctly idk why this is but you need to change the flyinHeightAGL to flyinHeightASL
I think he did a typo in the script
I tried to get this working with the world war 2 stuff and it didnt work at all
Were you using RHS mods as well?
I get a "On Activation: Missing ) when I press the Ok button on the Move marker.
Did you change anything after setting this up? Did this happen on the first test?
@@OnlineCombatBN Nope I didn't do anything to the scripting/code at all. I was worried this error was going to popup and then BAM there it was. Some reason my comment got flagged for being spam. Not sure why ?.
@@OfficialMikeJ I didn't flag it as spam. That's weird. At what moment are you getting the error?
@@OnlineCombatBN as soon as I click the ok button that error pops up
why does the plane turn away and go to the opposite direction when i press play
Are you using other mods? Like ACE?
@@OnlineCombatBN no
and it also says missing parameter
@@dudeitswer9347 then you missed something. Restart and follow the tutorial without skipping parts of it.
anyone have link for these mods used
I keep getting an error message saying init: missing;
If you used the code exactly has I shared it, it will work. That error happens when there is an error in the Code.
I managed to fix it I had to put a this ; on both sides of flyinhieghtAGL
Know all the piolet wants to do is land
@@waffler7732 he messed up the code, do flyinHeightASL instead
The only thing that showed up under rhs special waypoints for me is just paradrop air cargo
Then you're missing something. Make sure you have RHSUSAF loaded. Are you also using ace?
@@OnlineCombatBN oh usaf; didnt realize you needed ace for this thanks
@@a_sol3334 no, you actually don't. I was just trying to figure out why you weren't seeing the waypoint.
@@OnlineCombatBN oh i see
can you put the code in the comments so i can copy and paste it
Nope. TH-cam doesn't like that.
@@OnlineCombatBN oh lol thanks for answering most TH-camrs don’t do rhat
@@hudwest9045 I answer as much as I can.
How can I add this to my server ??
Run the mods in the server command line and upload the mission and run it.
@@OnlineCombatBN I did but the players spawn on ground and C-130 is not there, though running great in Eden
@essamel-saharty3596 then you've missed something. Check the mod that has the C130 is loaded.
@@OnlineCombatBN is there a code that should be written in init or serverinit
Can someone tell me the exact mod to get
To get what? Search the steam workshop and see what is there. A lot to chose from.
@@OnlineCombatBN I got RHS USAF But There is no Infantry Paradrop Waypoint there's only a Padrop Cargo Waypoint.
@@gforces0257 scroll to the top of the waypoints list. They are listed under 'advanced'.
@@OnlineCombatBN i figured it out thank you you need RHSAFRF in order to get the paradrop waypoint.
anyone else getting a init missing ; error
Where are you seeing that?
I got that a couple times to and then double checked to see if I typed it correctly and I didn't. Check to see if you are actually typing the exact thing he typed in the video
Change the AGL to ASL.
I ajusted the scipt a bit. Hope you don´t mind
And saved it as a sqs script in the mission folder.
hercD sidechat "Green light,go, go, go";
null "[] spawn {
{
if(((assignedVehiclerole _x) select 0) == "Cargo") then {
removebackpack "B_Parachute";
_x addBackpack "B_Parachute";
[herc] ordergetin false;
[herc] allowGetin false;
; [_x] ordergetin false;
; [_x] allowGetin false;
unassignvehicle _x;
; Leavevehicle herc;
& 3;
};
]foreach[crew herc];
};
couldn't get it to work othervise
Thanks for sharing (Donjohn_tos1)
herc flyInHeightASL [300, 300, 300]?
