Hey I was wondering would it be possible to do like army supply drops for the game.

Ideas:

1. A helicoppter flys past using a waypoint (to make it easyer instead of animating the propelers just fly by real quick)
2. A box drops down on a parachute floats to the ground and breaks open with health, weapon .ect (if possible yellow smoke to show position)
but hopefully the box does not fade away or owt.

Could this happen tell me what can and can't.


Thanks to everybody.

Helicopter, yes.
Box dropping, yes.
Box "floating" down on parachute, maybe.
break open to reveal health/ammo, yes.
Smoke, no. (Not a plume of smoke to be seen from far away, anyway)

You can do that. Search "helicopter" and you'll find somewhere there a free, and pretty decent helicopter model. I guess you could just make it follow waypoints. And the propellers do rotate!

In theory, you could spawn a box at a certain point, animate it to open revealing health, ammo, etc. And afterwards, using a timer, you could spawn a decal to go off using scripting.

Hope this helps!

Here is what you would have to do:

Get a helicopter model, write a script to make it follow waypoints and animate the rotors spinning. Then, have a zone in the path of your chopper with an ai script that uses the anywithinwone command to then spawn the crate. Give the crate a destroy script that sets a variable to, lets say 5. Put your health and crate remains on the ground, but add another zone with them. Make a script that when the previous variable is five, the zone will activate its IFUSED property. Finally, give all of your items one common name. Baisicaly, set the up so that they will spawn when the IFUSED in the triggerzone is activated. There are many tutorials on this. I will help more, but this is all that hased to be done to make every part work.

No, you could not control where the drop origionated from, unless you put them everywhere in the map and set zones on the floor to tell which one would spawn after a key was pressed.

Doesn't the helicopter have to be a charactor to follow waypoints? If so, just add 'ischaracter = 1' to the FPE.

Hmmm, wouldn't you be able to use SETTARGETNAME=X and MOVETOTARGET to make dynamic objects move to other dynamic objects?

Hey I was wondering instead of the create dropping would it be possible to have a hidden bag I when you locate one you can press enter and then a inventory comes up with everything inside it then you just click on the objects you want and they get added to your own invetory.

That is possible as well. It would take a little scripting, but it could work.

@Mad Chicken:

That could be a viable option, however, menus in FPSC are limited to the title and "pause" menus.

I made a way to overcome this limitation in Ply's Mod, though.

Yes, you could not "click" the item, but you could use the keyboard to trigger the items.

If I'm not mistaken, that's how the waypoints worked in Butter's sensei scripts.
