how can i get the player to parachute down to the level in a map?
from the c130 if possible, like the troops officers call down

edit: also,how do you get bots to start hidden or something, and appear when you walk into a script zone?

Not sure about the parachute..

Temp a botspawner and under settings make it "StartsDisabled".

Create a script_zone_star somewhere and attach the script:
GTH_Enable_Spawner_On_Enter
SpawnerID: The ID of the botspawner on your map
Playertype: What team to trigger on (0=nod 1=gdi 2=any)
Enable: 0=disable 1=enable

When players enter the zone the bot will be enabled and will then
spawn.

You have to do the parachute thing with beacons and cinematics, when I get home I will post a cinematic that drops bots. What type of bots do you want them to be and what team? I will get the cinematics set up for you. And if you don't know how to set up the beacons I will explain that to.

I thought he means to have players drop with parachutes.
Here you can find a few cinematics that were taken/modified from
westwood and vehicle drops from ssaow which can be used in the same
manner:

I know of no way to parachute a player down from a plane without the Apocalypse Rising script that is being developed by danpaul88. It will be released. You'll just have to wait.

Hah, I love this part, telling people alternative ways to do things. Okay if this is a .pkg file it it pretty simple, all you have to do is set it up so when a key is pressed it buys a charter (that looks exactly the same) which has a lower gravity scale and a parachute attached using a turret script. Then cover the ground with a script zone that sends a custom to the enter of a certain preset, which buys buys the original charter back. Of course it would be better using scripting.

meshes too complex? it worked until i saved, then i exited. now i just cant open it. how do i remove these meshes or whatever if i cant open the file?

p.s. the new map i am making to substitute (i would like to get the old workin) makes a chinnok follow a waypath. how do i activate a script when it gets to a certain path node?

You would use script zones to activate scripts when a vehicle entered them.

And the only time where the meshes to complex thing would come up is if you were making 3D models (which I just realized you probably are not).

Another thing that can make level editor crash is leaving a script param blank.

i made a script zone near a radio, and told it to enable a helicopter. how do i set the directory in the sound presets for the sound i want to play when you enter the script zone?(using jfw_2d_sound_custom <i think>)

oh oh, made a beta of the level

i made this a spoiler so it doesnt hog the page
Toggle Spoiler


the level then works fine, but the script zones dont work. seeing as i had to export it as pkg as it had the orig file as well i am guessing these are sideeffects of the orig.

If its a sound preset it had better be in the sound presets list.

"bhs.dll version mismatch"

You are using the wrong version bhs.dll in combination with the
scripts.dll

any chance of the name of the script to remove falling damage. i tied editing the global settings to harmless but it didn't work. falling is the closest i can get to parachuting.

EDIT: M06_Paradrop_unit. would that work?
