Chopper/aerial taxi script

NORRN_aerialTaxi04.utes

Here's the promised update to the scripts: http://norrin.org/downloads/OA/HeliT...axi04.utes.rar (The revised readme is in the mission folder)

Changes/Fixes in version 0.4
* Added the escort gunship option to the scripts
* Numerous fixes - replaced almost all waitUntil commands with while, further fixes to dedicated server compatibility and chopper respawning code

Let me know if you find any bugs but in my rather simple tests everything seems to be working fine in both SP and MP/dedicated server missions.

As long as nothing serious is found I'll update the fastrope taxi script to the latest non fast rope version

What do you mean by this? Will you release an updated fast rope script if there's no bugs in this one?

Yes mate - exactly. Adding the revised taxi/escort code shouldn't take long but I've always had a dream that one day I'd get round to revising the fast rope code to make it less processor/server intensive so I may do that as well.

@adam - Although I quite enjoy flying them I've never worked with fixed wing aircraft much adam. Anything's doable - its just a matter of time and patience, unfortunately dealing with all the possibilities that can happen when a script is used can take quite a lot of time, something I'm not really blessed with at the moment - I'll have a quick look at it and see how much work it is.

Not to hijack (but as norrin hasn't played around with fixed wing) you could try Drapers RUM Assets (use search). It does exactly this.

Now about that revive script .... will your eyes be passing over that one in the future norrin ?

See, told you I wouldn't hijack
