Black Hawk issues

Madin · Plasma Trooper **Joined**: 05 Apr 2009

I'd like to include a Black Hawk similar to the one seen in the Tiberian Dawn FMV http://www.cnc-source.com/forums/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&section=viewimage&img=6734

The Primary weapon will be the minigun & any troops that are being transported inside it will also ba able to fire from it:
1. Is it possible to have the helicopter appear like the Orca does when built, but once it takes off from the airfield, it no longer reserves a space? (preferred). Or have the helicopter appear from above like the Hammer head does in Kane's Wrath?
2. Has the main weapon will be firing from the side, I'd like the helicopter to attack targets with the minigun side-on (The Orca attacks head-on). How would I go about coding this?
3. The helicopter has to be able to land to pick up and drop off troops, is this possible on the Orca locomotor?
4.Would there be any issues with there being garrisoned weapons & the main (minigun) weapon conflicting? For example the garrisoned weapon being used instead of the minigun? (I'm mainly thinking about the side-on attack that the main weapon uses vs the all around attack of garrisoned weapons).
Thanks!

I belief that was the Chinook. You see the Chinook was usually armed with a machine gun pointing out one side of the chopper. Sorry but I can't exactally answer your question but just to clarify.

You are wrong, in that FMV you see a blackhawk, not a chinook.

Well then, my mistake, haven't played C&C1 in a while. Much less, watched the FMVs all the way through.

1. You mean, so it doesn't come back and land to rearm or whatever? I believe you can probably do that.

2. I know this is possible, I believe you can set the angles at which it can fire in the weaponset code in the unit itself? Well it's somewhere #Tongue

3. Pretty sure this is possible, just steal the code from the transport planes most GDI units have.

4. No, I'm pretty sure it'd be able to use both sets of weapons at the same time.
