Won't Land

Yuki Kiba Dakatsu · 01-19-2005, 12:28 AM

Hey my Blackhawk wont land, can someone tell me what i am missing, it can hold 6 people, and the people go under the Blackhawk, but the hawk wont land so they can get in, anyone know why?

Code:

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
;REMINDER TO SELF 
;The Blackhawk is able to get hit by infantry, and drop off its cargo, while shooting a minigun at enemy troops, for support.  The blackhawk will take damage, but better secures the infantry's lives unless theres a tank around.  I need to 

code a turret into it, and make its locomotor to tell it to be targeted as a ground unit, but change armor so it cant be hit by tank shells/MLRS or anything else, just machine guns & Infantry Rockets!

What's with the TransportAIUpdate-block?

Code:

  Behavior = TransportAIUpdate ModuleTag_07 
    Turret 
      TurretTurnRate = 90 
      RecenterTime = 5000   ; how long to wait during idle before recentering

  End

I copied this off of chinook code, and took out supply collecting, and added a turret to make it a supporting weapon when it was SUPPOSED to land....

Would that cause the problem & how do I fix it?

EDIT:I mean the Transport AI thing...

copperhead · 01-28-2005, 12:15 AM

Yeah, that could very well make the diffrence since attacking the enemy and dropping off troops would be two diffrent tasks. You would need to socket the minigun into it's own tower so that it can attack independently while the helicopter does the drop-off task.

i.e. like the miniguntower on the helix.
