The concrete has been removed, download the file Choppers.zip
Well I increased the size of the Nod Heli-Pad based on the model included with always.dat. Here is the original:

And here are shots of the one I made:



I added the MP Nod Helicopter building controller to it, but when I go ingame the heli-pad's name does not come up, and I cannot destroy it. Does anybody know how to fix this?

First, how did you resize it?

Second, I'm starting to believe that WS disabled those Helipad controllers.

I just use them as landing areas, nothing more.

I didn't just resize it, I remodeled it in Renx, its not that difficult of an object, so I figured I'd give it a try (modelling is not my forte).

It's something to do with your naming of the .w3d file. In order for it to work with the object controller try making sure the object controller is linked to the created .w3d file.

I bet if you extracted the .w3d file of the helicopter pad you could use it in Commando.

But good replica!

The first pic is of the extracted pad, its too small. So I remodeled it, and made sure to name the parts the same as the original (checked the names in w3d viewer). Any other suggestions?

I already tried and I couldn't find it in always.dat, I tried using something similar and it wouldn't show up except as invisible.

Maybe if you made your own controller and use a different name?


Similar to making your own building?


Maybe WW deactivated the scripts/etc... for that name.....

?

Whoops, Ingrownlip got it, it was the naming. I named it the same as the other model, but that's not the name the controller was looking for. Everything works now, thanks all.

Wait a second dude, I need your help! What do I rename the Helipad I'm using to? I'm using the encyclopedia Nod Helipad to do this, do I have to rename the .w3d file or something?

So you looked at the controller and named your model to what it was listed as?

Maybe you could write a script so the pad shoots in-range friendly aircraft with a souped-up repair gun?

Where does one find this encyclopedia thing that everyone is referring to?

Aircraft, your gunna have to edit the controller since you can't edit the .w3d. I believe the prefix you should tell the controller to use is Heli. Good luck.

Can you e-mail that .w3d file to me, so I can try it out on my map and make it operational?

If I could use the .gmax file too, I could see about making a GDI version so that both sides have Helipads now...

I'd really appreciate you giving me those files, and of course, all due credit will be given to you in the readme file for my map.

D4mn straight, dude! How long do you think it will take? A few minutes or so? I've gotta get these suckers up soon... Helipads would add a whole new dimension to the flying version of my map.

Does the helipad load up the air units? or is it just a decoration?

I wonder if we can make a way to have a particular unit spring up on location there? That must be farther on in the modding abilities.

I've been playing with stuff -- but havent stumbled on that --

however - i saw when you make the nod airstrip i.e. - it puts all kinds of w3d files in -- i wonder if they are used for spawn generation at a paticular location - and if so - how can you customize that...

More puzzles.... Lol

I bet it's like the animated stuff where you have to say create an object... Like you make a car using Ctrl+P from the object and designating it to create stuff. But then how would you tell Renegade to look for that in the menu or etc....the puzzle gets larger.
