ABOUT

I always loved the mechanics of drop ships in video games, so I'd been planning to make something like this for a while. Now, finally, here it is. A fully functional Vietnam War style Huey that deploys troops on enemies. This took a tremendous amount of work and I did my best to pay extreme attention to detail on this one. I spent a good amount of time on the AI for this as well, so it should work in most open environments, including forests and cities.

REQUIREMENTS

M16 Models

Big thanks to all the model creators for making this project possible!

You don't need any additional games for this to work.

Things to be aware of:

You can control how long it takes before a crashed helicopter despawns with the ac_heli_despawn_time command. Default 60, set to 0 to never despawn.

There's a lot going on with each one of these, so if you spawn a lot of them your game will start to lag out.

Hostile helicopter crews jitter around due to the default behavior of npc_combine_s of setting a particular animation each frame. I have no idea how to fix this, but if you do, let me know.

Helicopters won't navigate well in small spaces, better for open maps with tall skyboxes.

The NPC's weapons are just for NPCs and can't be used by players.

The addon "Auto Remove Stuck NPCs" will cause helicopter crews to disappear, so make sure that addon is disabled if you plan to use this.

I'm an experienced programmer and I love making games and addons. If you have a server in need of high-quality custom code, or would like to collaborate on a project feel free to reach out!

That's a pretty cool idea, I'll keep it in mind, but I can't promise anything. These take tons of time and effort to make right.

If you do suggestions, what about a jeep of this? same function
, dropping npcs off, with a gunner as well.

@CrimsonRaider

Oh, that's weird - That function that's missing is in charge of detecting whether or not the helicopter is crashed, and in most cases there's no reason why that would randomly be missing unless the files or the entity got tampered with. My best guess is that one of your mods is breaking it. Try running it without any other mods, and see if you still get the error. If so, let me know. If it works without any other mods, then you'll have to track down which one is breaking it.

I get this error and it refuses to fly

Does anybody know how to fix this?
