Make pilot fly to waypoints

  1. Create a helipilot (player, playable)
  2. Create a UH60L. Name it mychopper
  3. Make a new waypoint for the player
  4. Create a pilot. Place this in init statement:this assignAsDriver mychopper
  5. Group the pilot to the player
  6. Create a stand alone wp near the chopper
  7. Assign the pilot this waypoint

This only works if the player is in the backseat!

Example Scripts

Tail Camera (with Bank)

Note the reciprocal math:

#include "\vbs2\headers\function_library.hpp" 


If (local rex) then {

	fgh2050 animate ["Trunk",1];
	//fgh2050 action ["OpenTrunk", fgh2050];

	_forever = true;

	_locationPosition = GetPos fgh2050;

	_cam = "seagull" camCreate (position  fgh2050);
	_cam cameraEffect["internal","FRONT"];


	_grp = group _cam;

	selectPlayer _cam;

	while {(_forever)} do {

		_locationPosition = fgh2050 modelToWorld [0,-4.5,1.5];	
		//_locationPosition = fgh2050 modelToWorld [0,5.9,2.5];	//CPG EYES
		_targetPosition = fgh2050 modelToWorld [0,100,0];	
		_cam SetPos _locationPosition;		

		_fgh2050PB = fgh2050 call fn_vbs_getPitchBank;
		_fgh2050Dir = getDir fgh2050;
		_cam setDir _fgh2050Dir+180;
		myPitch = _fgh2050PB select 0;
		myBank = _fgh2050PB select 1;
		myPitch = -1 * myPitch-5;
		myBank = -1 * myBank;

		//hint "my pitch and bank ";
		//hint format["pitch %1, bank %2",myPitch, myBank];

		[_cam, myPitch, myBank] call fn_vbs_setPitchBank;

		_cam CamCommit 0;
		sleep 0.005;
		showCinemaBorder false
	};
};

Nose Camera (with Bank)

Here's a script that will put the player on the nose of the apache.

To use:

  1. Make a mission with a token player on the ground, an an apache w/ AI crew
  2. Save the mission
  3. Find the mission folder in My Documents/VBS2/mpmission/the_new_mission
  4. Create a new sqf filed (text) named player.sqf
  5. Save the file
  6. In the initialization text box for the player, place:
call {apache execVM "player.sqf";}

Tested: VBS2 v1.23

Note: this script uses VBS2 functions (see header below). You may be able to modify use of the fn_vbs_setPitchBankcommand with something that works in ARMA (camSetBank).


#include "\vbs2\headers\function_library.hpp" 

_forever = true;

_locationPosition = GetPos apache;

_cam = "seagull" camCreate (position  apache);
_cam cameraEffect["internal","back"];


_grp = group _cam;

selectPlayer _cam;

while {(_forever)} do {

	//_locationPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,3.8,2.0];	//CPG EYES
	_locationPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,5.9,2.0];	//CPG EYES
	_targetPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,100,0];	
	_cam SetPos _locationPosition;		

	_apachePB = apache call fn_vbs_getPitchBank;
	_apacheDir = getDir apache;
	_cam setDir _apacheDir;
	[_cam, _apachePB select 0, _apachePB select 1] call fn_vbs_setPitchBank;

	_cam CamCommit 0;
	sleep 0.005;
};

Nose Camera (No Bank)

This script place a camera on the nose of an apache.

To use:

  1. Make a mission with a token player on the ground, an an apache w/ AI crew
  2. Save the mission
  3. Find the mission folder in My Documents/VBS2/mpmission/the_new_mission
  4. Create a new sqf filed (text) named apache.txt
  5. Save the file
  6. In the initialization text box for the apache, place:

call {apache execVM "apache.sqf";}


Tested w/ VBS2 1.23


#include "\vbs2\headers\function_library.hpp" 

_forever = true;

_locationPosition = GetPos apache;

_camera = "camera" camcreate _locationPosition;
_camera cameraEffect["internal","back"];
//_camera CamSetDir 0;
_camera CamSetFOV 1;


_camera camSetTarget _locationPosition;
//_camera CamSetPos [_locationPosition Select 0,(_locationPosition Select 1) + 2, 5];
_camera CamSetPos _locationPosition;
_camera CamSetFOV 0.7;
_camera CamCommit 0;


while {(_forever)} do {

	_locationPosition = GetPos apache;
	_locationPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,6,2];
	_targetPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,100,0];	
	_camera camsettarget _targetPosition;
	_camera CamSetPos _locationPosition;
	_camera CamCommit 0;
	
	sleep 0.005;
};

Notes:

 * For the life of me I could not control the bank angle of the camera.  Tried to use CamSetBank but no dice!

UAV Shadow

_forever = true;
while {(_forever)} do {
	_pos = position player;
	_x = 100+(_pos select 0);
	_y = (_pos select 1);

	_dest = [_x,_y,_z];
	uav_1 flyInHeight 33;	
	uav_1 setDestination [_dest, "LeaderPlanned", true];
	_wPosArray = waypoints uav_1;
	hint format ["uav has %1 waypoint..%2",(count _wPosArray), _wPosArray];
	sleep 1;
