Apache Crash Destination Created 18 years ago2006-09-17 14:09:21 UTC by Daubster

Is it possible to make an apache crash into a specified location, after it's shot down?
I simply want it to break down a wall, after the player shoots it down, thus letting him advance into the level.

If it's not possible to define the monster_apache's crash destination - is it possible to fake it in any realistic way?

Thanks in advance.

This is possible, as I've seen it used in some mod, possibly Life's End. I'm not sure how to do it, but I can confirm that it's possible

I know it's possible in spirit, not sure if in the original code.

Umm... google?

Out of curiosity - when i tell the apache to "trigger" something on its death, does it trigger it the minute it dies, or the minute it hits teh ground and explodes?

I'd say: try it out!

I've done this. On trigger of high damage. use the trigger_changetarget to send the apach in the direction you want it to crash and then.. on the way to this path add a trigger_hurt so it explodes in the direction. So should work as you want

you could also have a number of multi-sources tied to the damage think stated by 6th monekey and have the multisource set off if a certain waypoint is reached & the osprey/apache is at say 50% health for isntance and tell it to change the target of the waypooint it is at (or the next waypoint) and then steer it into your crash destination

For the apache, i advise 6th Monkey's suggestion, but for the V-22d Opsrey, use my suggestion, as this way you can make it crash realisitically since the apache responds differently from the Osprey when following path_corners as you know...

This seems rather complex, ill draw a diagram and post it...

its teh 6th, haven't seen him in ages

he's right too

Thanks, for the suggestions, I'll try em' out.

6Ths monkey's suggestion might look wierd if you do it with the osprey...

His is better with the apache, keep things simple if you can, simple is best.

Take the Mosquito - the "Wooden Wonder" - a simple duel engine WWII plane made en masse by the brittish during World War 2 - simple, easy to make, exctremely effective...
