Yes they will, there are a lot of other improvements to the scripts as well, I'll give full details in a few days when I post all the scripts again.

I'm going to be a while completing the stuff I wand to add next so in the meantime here is that latest to play around with.

The _call script triggers the helicopters so edit it to suit, just change the CallHelicopters function parameters which are:
1 - Number of helicopters
2 - Mode 'enemy'/'friendly'/'neutral'
3 - Flight Time in seconds
4 - Return to origin flag, set to true to make them return home after attack, false to let them find a landing site themselves
5 - Height to fly at
6 - Strength (i.e. big numbers if you don't want to be able to shoot them down)

_target script is used to specify the target for friendly mode

_landing script tells the helicopters where to land if the return to origin flag is not set

Rest of the scripts as before, anyone downloading these for the first time go back up the thread to get the quatlib script and see the setup instructions.

have fun.

I'm back ... didja miss me?

Spent Easter down at the beach in my caravan, of course I took my GG PC with me so here is the result of my 'relaxing' weekend:



Lots of little tweaks but the main thing now is that the helicopters will hunt down and eliminate any enemy AI when in 'friendly' mode (maybe that should be renamed 'badass' mode?).

I was trying to use a dragon that shoots fireballs, using the "jet.lua" script, the dragon flies too fast and does not shoot the shots. can you help me ?

Is there a way to fly it right away without waiting?

If you look in the 'main' part of the helicopter script you will see where the delays are set, these are there to enable the helicopters to load rockets and spin up their blades before take off, just reduce the values to 1. (if you reduce them too much it may not load up the rockets)

Similarly look for the lines that set speed values and reduce them until you get the look you want.

If you also change the function that positions the rockets so that the offsets are where the mouth is and change the rockets script so that they are initially hidden and only show when fired then that will look a lot better.

Also don't use the jets script, try the helicopter one first.

@AmenMoses The sound of the helicopter, when it is distant, also lowers the volume of other game elements. Is my bug or script bug?

Hmm, not sure. All I do is:

SetSound(e, 2)
SetSoundVolume(plane.soundVolume - 5)

(where soundVolume is based on distance from player and calculated separately for each helicopter)

It seems to work for me but I haven't really tested it fully, I had assumed the sound samples for each entity are handled separately so each helicopter would have a different volume but it shouldn't have any effect on other sounds.

As far as I know, you need to use global sounds if you want to control the volume of individual sounds. SetSoundVolume will set the volume of all non-global sounds.

I solved by removing the sound volume from the script, in my projects at all levels I was creating this problem. The sound increased and decreased according to the passage of the helicopter (dragon in my case)

Can it be because I never added an audio file?

As I said, it appears to work ok for me, I have 5 helicopters flying around and the volume of each is different and seems to be related to their distance, same for the gun fire sounds, they are louder from the closer helicopters than from those further away.

Possibly there is some bug in GG such that if the entity doesn't actually have a sound sample in a particular slot and you try to change its volume then it changes the global volume by default?

I wonder if there is some way from within the script of checking whether there is actually a sound sample attached? Where is smallg when you need him?

Great stuff. I have a couple of questions, but first thought I'd share a vid as I'm sure you guys would like to see what we have all been doing with these great scripts.
sorry I don't seem to be able to embed the video but here it is on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D68FWiT1gx4


Questions about the sound slots:

1. Is it slot 1 or slot 2 for the Helicopter?

2. Does it have to be Mono Wav for volume distance and direction to work properly?

3. which entity do i attatch a sound to for gun firing sounds (guessing at the muzzleflash entity/decal), and again is this slot1 or slot 2?

4. can I add sounds to one of the other entities or the bullet hit? (if so, again in which slot, eg 1 or 2)

Thanks in advance, and thanks for the scripts and models chaps
its like deja-vu, but all over again, again

Sound slot 1 is the cannon, slot 2 is the blade sound. Sound slot 0, 3 & 4 are unused.

You could add sound to the bullet hit, add a line in bullet_hit.lua to play the sound after line 70.

You could also add sound to the rocket script, I was meaning to do that but couldn't really find a decent rocket motor sample. The simplest way to do it would be to use the RPG sound.

Not sure about the Mono question, but I don't think GG does sound positioning.

thanks very much, AmenMoses, thats a great help.

I added PlaySound(e,1) to the bullet hits script after line 70 and it works a charm.
