Arma 3 Editing | Add Para Drop to Your Mission 

Fantastic, easy setup....huge payout on immersion! Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for making all these videos. I've referred to them so many times and I'm impressing the heck out of my friends with the missions I'm making. Couldn't do it with out you! Cheers!

Thanks so much for all of these great vids and obvious hard work. Been beating my skull against a wall trying to figure out a way to make a para drop and this vid popped up. Still cant get the speed to slow down, but I'll figure it out, I think lol. This in-itself is worthy of a monthly sub. Thanks again!

As always a job well done!

I like the AUscam uniforms and flag patch. Noice mate

Nice. This bloke is brilliant.

So helpful thank you so much

The RHS paradrop script makes the static line parachutes; the code explained in this video can be used on a move waypoint and that should ensure everyone has the same parachute

Worked like a charm but Ii noticed the ASL was typed out as AGL heads up. Thanks for the share Awesome.

Thanks

if your getting an error saying something like the init is missing a ; then change it from flyinHeightAGL to flyinHeightASL

I'm finding that if I place the paratroopers into the aircraft on the ground, when they eventually land on their parachutes, they always without exception try to walk/fight their way back to the airfield they took off from. That's frustrating.

any clues as to why i cant load troops in the plane - it worked once. Now when I drag and drop they just land outside of the vehicle I can’t place them inside

hi OCB, copied the same code all worked except I had to manually deploy my parachute using the scroll wheel

Could the reason for getting two different kinds of parachutes be, that you use the RHS script built into the RHS waypoint AND additionally put your own script into the "On Activation" field? In your video until timestamp 08:51 you use a "standard Arma 3 move waypoint". From 11:46 you use the RHS Infantry paradrop script. At the bottom of the RHS waypoint there is a field "Script" which points to the "RHS built in script" " hsafrf\addons hs_c_air\scripts\WP_ParaInf.sqf". So you have two different scripts executed with one waypoint at the same time! I think you have to choose one of the two options. The standard waypoint with your script works fine, even without the RHS waypoint. And the RHS waypoint works great without your code. Or am i totally wrong with this? The second thing are the "double" waypoints at timestamp 07:45. These are 4 waypoints. When you highlighted the Plane you marked all units in it. So when you thought you created one waypoint, you really created 4 (for Alpha 1-2, Alpha 1-3, Alpha 1-4 and Alpha 1-5). One for each marked unit. Then you moved one waypoint up (the one for Alpha 1-5 as seen in the video) and as you deleted the "ONE" remaining waypoint on the ground you really deleted the remaining 3. But that's not important. I searched a long time for a working script. I had one for Arma 2 "decades" ago, but that has been outdated for a long time. Now, thank's to you and your video, i have TWO working options for a paradrop script. Thank you very much!

Would anyone know how I get around the bug with this when also using ace? The hurc will sometimes do as it’s told when the player isn’t in the vehicle however when I am, the ai just fly off and try to land somewhere

Is there a way of putting thier backpacks on their chests when they spawn in? Want playable units be able to land then switch their full backpacks to chest. At the moment it just deletes the backpack and replaces it with the parachute.

Someone posted a comment about keeping your troops in the vehicle, which appears to have since been deleted. Just to be clear, the whole idea of this tutorial is to have your troops GET OUT of the vehicle.... :D

Hey I don’t see damage thing on what do I do

So now I have to ask. How do you make the ai and you all use static line Parachutes. Also, can u make a video showing how to make the ai paratroopers have a backpack on chest like Real paratroopers so when they Lans they get rid of the Parachute and put on the backpack. Mabey u can explain how the backpack on chest mod works

Are you aware of a script that will dump the paratroopers out in a short distance? I know you mentioned slowing the plane down so they jump closer together, but that has been only somewhat effective... If you can think of anything, I'd love to know! Thanks!

I get a "On Activation: Missing ) when I press the Ok button on the Move marker.

I tried to get this working with the world war 2 stuff and it didnt work at all

anyone have link for these mods used

You mentioned the RHS mod, but when I go into the workshop there are hundreds of them. Any chance you could point me to the ones I need? Thank you in advance; I know how much time videos like this take to put together.

I'm using this for a paradrop infil and one of my AI guys is dropping with a static line chute like 400 meters early. Whats the fix for that?

Does anyone know if there is a script that will equip have the ai equip an alternate backpack and add things into it or maybe have the ai pickup a backpack off the ground once they have landed?

The only thing that showed up under rhs special waypoints for me is just paradrop air cargo

why does the plane turn away and go to the opposite direction when i press play

Thanks for this video. I hate to ask but I've pasted the script (below) into the herc under object init field and I get this error "init: missing ;" but the code im pasting has that. So im not sure if someone may know what missing here? I have no other scripts running. Thanks and the video have taught me so much. I really appreciate it. Cheers.... herc flyinHeightAGL [300, 300, 300];

I used the code exactly in the way it was shown but still the paratroopers wont jump out whats wrong? Is this waypoint even useful? I always have trouble with the get out waypoints as well.

Do you have to use RHS planes to run this?

I keep getting an error message saying init: missing;

anyone else getting a init missing ; error

can you put the code in the comments so i can copy and paste it

Can someone tell me the exact mod to get

How can I add this to my server ??

I ajusted the scipt a bit. Hope you don´t mind And saved it as a sqs script in the mission folder. hercD sidechat "Green light,go, go, go"; null "[] spawn { { if(((assignedVehiclerole _x) select 0) == "Cargo") then { removebackpack "B_Parachute"; _x addBackpack "B_Parachute"; [herc] ordergetin false; [herc] allowGetin false; ; [_x] ordergetin false; ; [_x] allowGetin false; unassignvehicle _x; ; Leavevehicle herc; & 3; }; ]foreach[crew herc]; }; couldn't get it to work othervise Thanks for sharing (Donjohn_tos1)

herc flyInHeightASL [300, 300, 300]?
