How would I...?

Hi folks,

Just a quick question. When a police officer calls on air support the police helicopter lands at the area it has been called to. I can understand this for the Air Ambulance, but not the police helicopter.

Am I able to change any scripts to ensure the helicopter stays in the air when called? And if so, could anyone direct me as to what I should be doing?

You could tell it to land on a building o somewehere it is impossible to land so it doesn't land.

Open the script LACallHelicopter.script with NotePad and find the following code

			float landingDirection = n.GetValidLandingAngle(&obj, CmdPos);
			if (landingDirection >= 0.f)
			{
				n.PushActionFlyTo(ACTION_APPEND, CmdPos, true, landingDirection);
			} else
			{
				n.PushActionFlyTo(ACTION_APPEND, CmdPos, false, -1.0f);
			}

Lines 109 to 116

Replace that whole code with this line:

			n.PushActionFlyTo(ACTION_APPEND, CmdPos, false, -1.0f);

Test it. If that works you might want to do the same thing for lines 178 to 185.

I guess I will do the same, it adds a bit of realism
