[DFBHD] Med questions.

[UltimatePlayer]

Making a mission and by extraction i have a little bird come to pick you up, is there anyway to make it so that when you attach to littlebird it goes or do you just have to place an area trigger and test it until you get it just right?

Also is there anyway to redirect the player to a different waypoint? Like when i want this waypoint to only show if a certain event happens?

[UltimatePlayer]

Testing my mission but now I keep getting sysdumt.txt because something is wrong with my .WAC file. I looked through it a dozen times and just cant see what is wrong, though its probably something simple i just cant see it. Maybe someone with a fresh pair of eyes will notice what is wrong.

here is the file in text format.
1.txt

Line 41: 'works for me' is not commented out.

Line 92: ssnradio is misspelled.

Line 99: endif is commented out.

Line 120: 'chain' is misspelled.

[UltimatePlayer]

Fixed those, Line 41 and 99 happened while i was looking for the mistakes...Still not working though, Dont know why not? I know its the .wac file because when i remove it it still works.
Here it is now 1.txt

[Baldo_the_Don]

I just noticed the very last line! Go to the end of that and add a line return (Press ENTER), then try the .wac out.

Did a quick test, inconclusive.

But...

Open your .wac. Press CTRL+F. Search for 'snn'. Be angry at yourself. I always am when I do it.

Thx a lot Baldo!
It was all because of SNN instead os SSN, DANG!
when looking through it it just looked good not realizing its snn instead of ssn...Ugh!

I made this map to answer your questions because it was just to difficult for me to explain at this level.

You can download it from NovaHQ here,,,

It's not approved yet I guess

It'll be there soon though and please note that it's a very basic map, this is so you can see what's happening.

It has the landing and take off stuff and you'll have to shoot it out with 2 AI in a bunker to trigger the first waypoint.

There are 2 maps, one with and one without the WAC.

That's the idea, to assist you.

I'm making another BHD map with all 26 waypoints (Alpha to Zulu) triggering along with 8 intermediate objectives factored in.

Glad to hear you've got a better grasp of it.

BTW just a reminder and to clarify that the player is set to Red Team and placed on the skid of the Littlebird to attach - Reason?


With this method the player will not not be able to detach (and possibly fall off) until landing is completed.

On landing the engine will set the release for the player automatically.

The engine ai will still treat the player as Group 1, Blue Team.


Have a nice day...
