Epoch Helicopters Issues

[moosemilker]

How do you know this?

How do you know this?

Because I could easily reproduce the issue any time without this script, and so could he players on my servers. All people able to reproduce the exploding help bug can no longer reproduce the issue with ScaRR's script installed.

Thanks again, ScaRR

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";

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

Hey Scarr,

Thank you for your work on this issue.

I am currently testing out this heli protection script on DP for the last 2 restarts.

So far so good man! I will update with a new reply tomorrow afternoon/evening after 24 hours of testing

Ok then, we should really make a sticky of this fix, even though, rather temporary fix I would call, and let the server admins know. Because why have a fix and not share it? It is like finding cure for cancer and keeping for yourself. No point in that.

Or even show BI how its being fixed so they can fix the core issue eh?

[MechDan]

Yeah this really needs a sticky post and detailed instructions on setting it up, all server owners need to know this and the step by step on getting it working. I'm sure I can fumble it to work, but step by step makes it much easier :D

Hey, good to hear it is working. Thanks for the feedback. :)

Hey, I have posted a new this and modified the script slightly. 

[KPABATOK]

And with this new arma update bugemia keeps fixing stuff that isn't broken and breaking things that work just fine since 1999.... classic. Sell this script to them, maybe they will include it in 2017th arma 3 update

[Tony_Honk]

Hey,

 

the script works perfectly, but we found new problems, with the exploding choppers... Sometimes the just flip around after getting on the pilot seat and crash after 5-10 seconds as soon as the get back to the ground. This never happended before and it seems to be connected to the script. Any ideas or equal experiences? As i said, the script works pretty well, but the flipping chopper problem is almost as bad... pretty much the same result...

 

i would appreciate an idea, we are still helpless

Mostlikely they screw it up by when u throttle up u get ejected into the tail rotor , ending as slices salami

 

And thx scarr

[Richie]

Try works for me :)

[viper179]

yeh man works for me too

[Brez]

Yea.. need more band-aid solutions for a broken platform.

 

 

Lets soon call it  Armamod 3 with Epoch mod.
