The Chinook and Vehicles

[AnRK]

Yeah, forgot about THAT problem... that'd be a cool way round it, would look funny as owt seeing a Chinook hovering then suddenly having a landy appear under it from nowhere. Problem with that might end up being that as a weapon, it's not actually part of the Chinook's hitboxes. So it'd be a bit pointless other then to signify that the particular Chinook was worth shooting down a bit more, even though they'll probably always end being loaded with a vehicle if that was the case. Good thinking despite that anyway.

It still doesnt make him any less right...

No it doesn't, but it's still not acceptable, and it's also against the forum rules.

It'd be no greater problem than a Huey dropping a supply crate from high up.

[Ondskan]

Agreed. A little buggy should definetly be able to either get in the back or "poof" out like Supply crates.

He was suggesting having the vehicle work the same way as a bomb on a plane, so a landrover or whatever would be modelled as a kind of armament, which (I'm not too sure) probably wouldn't work out with the hitboxes. So you'd have a ghost landy underneath the thing.

The other issue wasn't the dropping of vehicles, is that if they're reloadable then they will most likely get littered all over the map, which might also end up causing lag if it gets really silly.

Not sure if this can be done, but perhaps a way round that might be to clone the landy/whatever else might be used also, and give it a reasonable expiry time, say if it's not used in say 10 minutes, it'll blow up ala vanilla. Unlike everything else which seems to have been coded to have none, or a really insane amount that's for all intensive purposes not gonna run out.

Cartillery is my fear as well

thats a good idea AnRK

[jacky7]

Why not like Battlefield Vietnam,
with the ropes you know?

Anybody remember? ^^

[Scot]

Yes, and that is not possible unfortunately with the BF2 engine, the BF Vietnam engine was capable, but not the BF 2

[Tomato-Rifle]

Already been through this...

[jacky7]

Oh..I c

Sorry.. The Idea just came into my mind... ^^
Hope you guys find a way to fix the problem...^^ Cheerz

*im gunna be using this video ALOT

[AnRK]

I think MY idea of the expiry time would sort it out, unless you were referring to the 'nam rope thingymabob of course...

[Deadpool2894]

one of the us armies a chinhook i know marines use it in vetniam and today

[Rudd]

^ wassat in inglish?

[mp5punk]

mm sounds like a good idea, sholud be dropped either below 15meter height or when landed. otherwise it might damage it or be used the wrong way...

[GR34]

Why not have the Chinook be bale to "PARA" Drop Creats out the back as well as drop them normal? That would be a big + for troops who need supplies and are in an area were choppers cant reach
