PMI'ed C-Dropship..no drive

UntalkativeBunny · Post by **UntalkativeBunny** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 11:10 am

Hi

I've recently pmi'ed a covenant dropship, wraith, and pelican into death island, and it worked perfectly =D

Anyways, the pelican and wraith are 100% working, drivable. But the dropship isnt.. i've changed the seat names, and when i walk over to it (i've walked all over the damn thing, top, around, underneath) and cant find out how to drive the dang thing...

Any suggestions?

The seat is hard to find if I remember correctly. You have to stand in between the (I have no idea what to call them.) the place where the troops rid, and jump. It has been awhile, but I think that that is right.

Try the top or through the center

in my first post, i clearly stated i got the pelican and wraith working.

And the whole trying to find the driver seat in the c-dropship...i'm stumped. This is like a damn easter egg hunt.

Oh, sorry, my brain musta mixed some of the info up.
Well, I'd have to say, go on top, or go through the big ap in the front and jump.

And try the seat rename if you didn't allready

...my god...i'm goin nuts, who the *^&^ designed this thing?!?

I've spent the last 2 hours trying to find it, i've done the following seat names:

W-driver
G-driver
B-driver

*EDIT*

I temporarily nulled out the collision on it so i could take a quick peek inside....the results:

NOTHING

I don't even think there is a driver seat for this thing.

Ok, here is an updated HMT plugin I did yesterday. It adds more stuff for the seats. Try changing the marker name from "driver" to "cd-passengerl01". (I'm not sure exactly what this will do, but it should move the seat to one of the passenger seats).

Those long things are the "passenger seats", and the I's is the center, you may have to learn how to fly in order to get into the middle, cause it's pretty high up, and the chief isn't michael jordan.

Try jumping at the red section, and if that doesn't work, try jumping in the yellow sections.

odd, cuz when i added a dropsip, the driver seat was were the gunner usually is... and y dont u change the name of one of the passenger seats(like maybe front left or front right?) and make the ship drivable by 1 of them?

also last time i saw a mod with a dropship, the driver seat was at the back of one of the arms in the "hallway" moving towards where that gunner actor usually is.

UntalkativeBunny · Post by **UntalkativeBunny** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 4:19 pm

odd...i'll try and make one of passenger seats the driver later/

i'll post results soon

fritz_da_monkey · Post by **fritz_da_monkey** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 5:15 pm

I'll do a quick pmi and see if I can find it. I've done it before, I just don't remember.

EDIT:
Found it.

You have to jump to get to it, but hopefully that shows you about where it is.

DeadHamster · Post by **DeadHamster** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 9:01 pm

I told you that you needed to jump, or did you not understand the reference to michael jordan?

Good luck with all of this.

UntalkativeBunny · Post by **UntalkativeBunny** » Sun Nov 04, 2007 6:54 am

i did increase the jump height for cyborg_mp, and it worked, but i swear, i cannot find that seat...maybe i pmi'ed wrong?

fritz, what seats did u change?

_FC_Homies · Post by **_FC_Homies** » Sun Nov 04, 2007 7:34 am

I would just go ahead and make all of the passenger seats "W-Passenger" and all the cargo and driver seats "W-Driver".

I've had this problem before when I put one of these in infinity...
But once I changed all the seat names, it seemed to work.
