hard coding you can get around

I doubt any soldier would fast rope out of the back of a Merlin for the reason there's nowhere past the ramp to attach the ropes on to

Definition of hack. Actually what you're talking about meets like 2 or 3 of the hack definitions.

Its also what we generally call them between modders. The way we managed to get the kit limiting system to work is a hack, same with the spawning of commander assets. Working on a player specific messaging hack at the moment to get rid of some of the spam on servers.

Fastroping would be awful anyways -- already idiots try to deploy guys in a hot zone, this would only encourage them.

I also had a fastroping idea. It would require the use of a co pilot, See my idea was that the co-pilot would press a button to spawn grapples on the side of the heli which would reach down at least 50m.

Thanks for the original idea Isaac Newton. /sarcasm. Lol, people have thought of that way, way, way, way long ago.

The day fastropes are created and actually executed in any vBF2 mod is the day PR is going to die (lol).

yeah fast roping would get you killed but i'm saying it can be done not it's a smart thing to have unless if it for ghost train and some map that have area the chopper only can hover over but are still to high for the troops to jump out

but something like server stuff you can't get around with the game engine but things in the game like making a ejection seat that you have to mod it in a different way then you would other files but thats what i was told i know a simple way to make it work but not sure if it would kill you or not.

Oh, and whats the simple way?

Wouldn't it be setting the exit vehicle point a few metres above the cockpit?

Thats the simplist way of doing it, yes. But he makes it sound like hes got an actual ejection seat since it might kill you.
