For a challenge, I made an Mi-35 Hind. I gave it a workaround for the takeoff/landing sound. Simply give it an undeploy sound for landing, and a deploy sound for taking off. In addition, it would land on its own if I didn't add this in.

Now for the problem, when I deploy it in mid-air, it deploys fine. It sits down and does what I want it to do. But when I go to get it to take off again, it makes the sound like it takes off, but it sits there, and won't rise. I can get it off the ground by telling it to move after I deploy it, but its unnerving if it is under fire (and plus it won't sound right taking off).

Is there a way to fix this? I've tried adding different tags from the Siege Chopper, but none seem to do the job.

Perhaps you should use the Nighthawk tags instead. Either that, or I'm talking gibberish...

[xstax]

The Nighthawk doesn't have a DeployToLand tag though...

[Jeeves]

Thats normal, I think. I'm yet to see deploy to land aircraft that take off when undeployed.

[xstax]

Is there a workaround for this? I was thinking put the landed Hind into a SHP file, and use it as a dummy building. But, alas I'm no good at SHP building, and will do that as a last resort.

[Jeeves]

Take screenshots of the voxel, cut it out, and convert that to SHP for the building art. Or copy Siege Chopper's deploy into unit logic, where theres the unit for deployed and undeployed states.

[xstax]

Will do, thanks

[OmegaBolt]

A simple deployer like the Seige Chopper does that. Maybe if you just add the tag DeployToLand=yes it would do that.

[xstax]

DeployToLand=yes is already in there.

Show us your complete code so we don't have to guess like finding a needle in a haystack.

[lefthand]

I've done this before but what does your undeployed hind convert into? In order for it to deploy/undeploy successfully you need to make sure it is doing this between two different units.

Okay, I made a stationary unit out of the Hind, but it won't deploy at all. Here is the code for both of them.

Answer is easy ....

HINDD should be in [VehicleTypes] number list e.g. 150=HINDD

DeploysInto=HINDD ; remove

[HIND]
; UnloadingClass=HINDD ; remove the ; from the comment

[HINDD]
;UnloadingClass=HIND ; remove the ; commet

Use

DeployingAnim=DUMMY ; this is the animation to show deploying, not nessecary for a hind

Only [VehicleTypes] can DeploysInto= [BuildingTypes] and Only [BuildingTypes] can UndeploysInto= [VehicleTypes]

Simple Deployer logic is use for [VehicleTypes] to turn into stationary [VehicleTypes]

The Tick Tank, Artillery and Mobile Sensor Array all use VehicleType into BuildingType logic.

If it does automatically fly up after undeploying then maybe [SCHP] has some special coding like [COW] but unlikely.

[xstax]

Thank you AG

[BobingAbout]

I'm thinking of a tag....
BalloonHover=yes
dunno if it helps at all....

[xstax]

Oh well, it works anyways...

[ihateharriers]

are you using a voxel as a [BuildingType] when the Hind deploys? afaik you can do this if you add it to the buildingtypes list and just use the same art entry with Voxel=yes present there, like the grand cannon turret. not sure though, so could clarify cause i'm prolly gonna be doing something similar with my mod, but wasn't quite sure if it would work.

[Allied General]

buildings cannot be voxels and topic locked
