Projects
Make pilot fly to waypoints
- Create a helipilot (player, playable)
- Create a UH60L. Name it mychopper
- Make a new waypoint for the player
- Create a pilot. Place this in init statement:
this assignAsDriver mychopper
- Group the pilot to the player
- Create a stand alone wp near the chopper
- 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:
- Make a mission with a token player on the ground, an an apache w/ AI crew
- Save the mission
- Find the mission folder in My Documents/VBS2/mpmission/the_new_mission
- Create a new sqf filed (text) named player.sqf
- Save the file
- 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:
- Make a mission with a token player on the ground, an an apache w/ AI crew
- Save the mission
- Find the mission folder in My Documents/VBS2/mpmission/the_new_mission
- Create a new sqf filed (text) named apache.txt
- Save the file
- 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!
