Chopper/aerial taxi script

[CapitanStratos]

Name was correct It was my mistake translating it.

Have no idea of where exactly place the files, but If is on the folder the error says, Is already there.

Bump. Please is important to me.

Capitan,
when you create your mission you have a folder for the mission created.
EG if my mission is called RepoMen and it's on Takistan then I get a folder called
RepoMen.Takistan.
Inside this folder create another folder called scripts. Inside this scripts folder copy the folder heloGoTo.
That should be all that you need from the sound of it as the message indicates that it is trying to run the script it just cannot find it where it expects it to be.

Then I'm missiing something as I don't have that Takistan island. Is added on a expansion? Will the script not work without that island?

Ok look, to run this script you need to first save your mission.

A folder will then appear in your ArmA2/Documents/ missions folder.

Place the scripts folder (from memory it is a folder full of scripts) then, create a txt file called init. Then change .txt to .sqf

In this file put

[slick1] execVM "scripts\heloGoTo\heloGoTo_init.sqf";

// For extraction action at start-up
player setVariable ["NORRN_taxiHeli", slick1, true];

//NORRN_aerialTaxiRespawnOff = false;
NORRN_noAerialTaxiAtStart = true;
};

Then in your mission place a chopper and name it slick1

This should work, its been a while since i used it though lol

Let me know man.


edit:
TBH tho man, norrin is very good at explaining how to use his stuff in his first posts. This one is no different, very simple to follow.

Good good!

You should be ok with running most script's now.

Hey Norrin, can you make a version instead of landing, the chopper would hover at a good enough hight to fast rope out? instead of just using for a taxi could be also be used in missions for quick insertions etc,... thanks

I think what you are looking for is called "Combat Insertion"

Norrin has left the building. I don't think he's coding anymore.
