Epoch Helicopters Issues

[Taogeht]

Anybody know if the Taru ATRQ issue has been resolved yet?

At 1.4 Arma3 now, but I am hesitant to try sling loading on a Taru.

Freaking Hurons are like hen's teeth, however.

This issue is not resolved.  Any time I slingload with a lift Taru, the ATRQ goes red.

 

No issue with other choppers and slingloading

Yeah those guys going on about stress damage enabled are wrong... this happens even when you lift a go-kart and even without stress damage enabled.

I am looking forward to a fix for this... the heli that is supposed to be the best for lifting... actually ends up being the worst.

[RC_Robio]

Seems that a player respawn/revive script can cause this. I have not been able to reproduce this on a vanilla Epoch server.

[mgm]

worse thing about the helis is if you die in the drivers seat you cant see your own body after you reswarm but your team mates can, so if your playing on your own your stuffed

it's a feature - if you're playing alone, BI want to make you think you just had a deja vu.

you did not die due to a bug. it never happened. otherwise there should be a body, right?

 

joking aside I hate that bug. I hope it's fixed in 1.40!!

 

 

EDIT: FYI. I found this at Arma 3 bug tracker - it is an assigned & reopened issue:

 

"I was playing a mulitplayer match when I died and got a new chopper. The moment I entered the chopper all of them exploded and I died. It was like someone sabotaged them"

Sounds like it could be deserialization, I sometimes get similar. Get in a vehicle and try to move, engine noise goes off and no movement. 

 

I always keep a smoke shell for this, seems to sync the vehicle, you will see it 'jump' then settle.

 

Can't say I've had a chopper kill me, mozzie's is another matter, I can fly but damned if I don't nearly always end up in a tangled burning upside down mess with those. The key is gentle moves, if you brave enough to try :)

[mgm]

One poster in BI bug tracker state "it happens ONLY when getting to the driver/pilot seat of vehicle first".

Therefore always getting in to another seat first and then switching to driver/pilot seat could be a good way of not blowing up (if it really works!).

 

I will try this.

[fr1nk]

Luckily, I haven't had issues with choppers...yet. Although, the last time I got in a mozzie, it did a backflip worthy of an olympic medal. Decided to walk after that one.

[Finuix]

To fly mossie you want to have a mouse which you can turn down sense with mouse buttons on side of the mouse. works like a charm ;) funny as hell to fly ;)

[Floyd]

Just the other day (post 1.4) I climbed into the pilot seat of a heli parked on top of the base. When I exited, the heli blew up.

And I've noticed (on Chernarus in particular), that the heli's spawn in a few feet off the ground. As you approach a heli it drops a few feet to the ground.

[iRAGE]

This issue is not resolved.  Any time I slingload with a lift Taru, the ATRQ goes red.

 

No issue with other choppers and slingloading

 

Real pain in the butt this issue. Reported it to the admins on my server unaware this was a problem across the game. You hook the vehicles and lift off no problem but as soon as you start to fly forward (carefully and controlled) that ATRQ pops sending you spiralling. Thankfully it has never killed me as somehow I still end up being able to land at trader or in a open field ;)

 

Defo needs a look at by either the epoch team or BIS if its arma related because the Huron is basically the only other with tow function but is rarer and without this issue.

[LoneKirov]

Is this Still not resolved Iv been waiting for so long lol

[mgm]

It's been happening a lot on king of the hill, and its been happening befor 1.4 i believe. I'm assuming it's a bug in arma 3 but maybe theres something else going on behind the scenes. I noticed it happens mostly right after the new game session begins or the server restarts as well.

so by your own admission you're playing non-Epoch mods, eh? (ceasing your work on Ilanavis can be forgiven perhaps but playing other mods?!) I'll let LordAWOL know! :D

 

 

On topic:

Is this Still not resolved Iv been waiting for so long lol

No it's not resolved and I hate it but I don't think it will be resolved any time soon.

 

It's a bug since version 0.60 of Arma 3.

Last Update on bug tracker was on: 2014-03-17 15:51

The total weight of evidence that BI is working on this issue is: 0 [as per Bug Tracker link I gave above].

[ScaRR]

Hey, I have written a little script to deal with this issue until BI resolves it.

 

It is not perfect but works. The installation and configuration information is in the script.

 

Short description

 

    The damage is only disabled when the following conditions are true:
        - Player gets in pilot seat
        - AND The rope is attached to an object
        - AND the Taru's altitude is greater than _altitudeDisable
        - AND (
                the Taru's pitch is greater than the angle parameter or smaller than the angle parameter * -1
                OR the Taru's bank is greater than the angle parameter or smaller than the angle parameter * -1
        )
    Damage is re-enabled when the Taru is hit by bullets or projectiles

The assumption of disabling the "antihack_Enabled" option in epochah.hpp is also incorrect, since I a helo still exploded with it turned off...

[ScaRR]

I tested this script today.  With this script I still blew up while getting into the pilot seat twice.

 

Hi there,  this script is not for the getin explosions but for the Taru's heli rotor damage when you lift a vehicle.

 

I have another script for protecting the heli when a player gets into the pilot seat or when the heli's locality changes which can also cause it to explode. The script is in testing and seem to work. You are welcome to try it out and let me know if it works for you.

Let me know how it goes. Hope it helps  :)

Hi there,  this script is not for the getin explosions but for the Taru's heli rotor damage when you lift a vehicle.

 

I have another script for protecting the heli when a player gets into the pilot seat or when the heli's locality changes which can also cause it to explode. The script is in testing and seem to work. You are welcome to try it out and let me know if it works for you.

	Description: This script protects helis when a player gets close to a vehicles and the locality changes, at times this can cause a vehicle to explode or when the player 
	gets into the pilot seat.
	This script could possibly be optimised a bit more and needs further testing. 
	
	BE filters:
		
		setvariable.txt
			append !="added_EHProtect" !="GotIn" !="LocalChanged" 
	Installation:
		Copy into your scripts folder, add this line to your init.sqf, execVM \"scripts\OX3_GetInProtect.sqf";
	
		
	PLEASE KEEP CREDITS - THEY ARE DUE TO THOSE WHO PUT IN THE EFFORT!

"while true do uisleep 1"

 

how does this impact FPS?

I haven't noticed any performance issues or significant FPS drop. Haven't tested it that much but it runs and I haven't had complaints. Any suggestions / recommendations on code improvements are welcome  :)

You could easily increase the sleep time and it should be fine and would probably be a good idea but needs testing.

Thank you, ScaRR.  I will test it today.

Your anti-helo exploding script works!  You are the man!
