Description
Uptownsquash has an idea about turning the heavy machine cult from a thunderhawk drop to a parachute drop in.
It may be possible through ffe. :P
In the whm, the thuderhawk and its wings would need to be made internal again instead of the external link.
a parachute and a box drop would need to be added into the whm after it is fixed.
803f visibility would need to be fixed for the thunderhawk and wings in anim:
THUNDERHAWK_LAND
THUNDERHAWK_LANDED
THUNDERHAWK_TAKE_OFF
Also in the whe at this point, Fx would need to be edited out to a blank....

That should allow the heavy machine cult to have a parachute drop in and just work like it should with parachutes. :)
Any complexities?
Shiping Containers could be nice for such an idea since they are bigger than the woodcrates available and those metal containers after a retexture could easily look like an important material drop. The parachute would need to be bigger or in greater number (the second option would be better) to be able to carry the huge weight.
What about the containers from the guard mechanized command?
It come into my head yesterday while I was babbling about it on Relic forums. :P
Which reminds me, did I ever get round to doing the 80 3f visibility on the machine cult for the thunderhawk dropship, instead of a texture alpha-out.
Yeah when i saw the relic forum i thought: the container from the mechanized command or the one in mars pattern would work better because it should have at least one bone to be animated.
With an FFE Import the chutes and the container would all need to be bone objects.
With the container taking the place of the thunderhawk and the wings being replaced with triple chute systems.
And given the movement of the wings, with the right chute replace the left wing and the left chute replacing the right wing.
That way the wing animation for landing would get best use.
So the chutes would literally waver off to the side of the container as it floats over the machine cult and then come back together for end of sequence.
With reference to the parachute:
to Quote Fuggles on Relic Forums:
Doesn't steel legion do that?
I am not sure what Fuggles meant by that, so I will have to ask. :)
Anyone got any idea?
