hello.

I am just suggesting why not that when you make it to the excape zone. When the helicopter flys over you. A pole or ladder that drops down and to excape you have to climb the pole or ladder to the helicopter?

Sorry if it sounds a little complicated.

Thanks

As far as I can tell:

Practicality - Reasonable
Codewise - Not going to happen

Good idea, just not going to work from what I can see...

Ok... could you please explain to me why it won't happen?

You want to tie an togglable, interactive entity to an active AI character. Plus it would severely limit a mapper's freedom without making even more changes to the code.

Like I said, it is reasonable, but in terms of actually coding the feature, it is just not worth the time and effort, unless Spin can see a way that I can not.

kkk. I get what ya mean.

couldnt u just make it land somewhere cos when the helicopter comes it just hovers there for another 20 seconds make it land

A mapper can make the Black Hawk "land" if they wanted, so I don't see why we would need to add that nor how that was on topic.

Also, forcing it to land would limit the options of a mapper.

offtopic i guess: maybe u could make it like a rope ladder comes dpwn from black hawk and u climb up but the helicopter takes you to a military base and you dont have to become zombie or u can shoot zombies from helicopter. probly wouldnt work tho


ontopic: yeah that really would limit options for a mapper

You are right, don't get me started on the impracticalities of such a thing without the aid of Spirit of Half Life...

wot about a map called bb_fortpasta and u have to hold it off from oncoming zombies then theres a helipad where the helicopter can land

I already said you can get a helicopter to "land" and could you please inform me on how a broad idea for a map has any relation to a thread that is considering of adding functionality to the engine.

im just saying a helicopter landing on a heli pad or like a open area

I know exactly what you were saying, considering I was posting about it before you were.

What I was asking is why you would post such an off topic idea in this thread, this thread is about functionality, not your "ub3r 1337 m4p 1d34", that took a half second to think up.

Leave map requests in the mapping forum.

narr i thought it up a long time ago will u calm down and stop getting so agressive

Please note that there is a difference between annoyed and aggressive. If you would care to read carefully you would see that I am the former, not the latter. If I were aggressive, I would be attacking you, however, since I am only annoyed, I am trying to understand why you post the ideas you in the threads that you do. And by you going on the offensive telling me to calm down when I am already perfectly calm leaves me to formulate my on hypothesis on the matter at hand.

Seeing how we have mostly concluded what this thread was originally about and drifted completely off topid, Id suggest we let this thread die or get it locked and then let it die.
