Ship Cargo (to or from) - Possible?

[fargo007]

It seems sling loads can neither be spawned, nor deposited upon the deck of a ship.

 

If you drop one there it just slides off the back and floats in the ocean. Kinda funny actually.

 

With CTLD I can spawn a crate on a nonmoving ship, but it won't be F6-sling-loadable.

 

Just wondering if anyone's worked a creative solution out for this.

 

Thanks!

I would be also very interested on this one if anyone can provide some solution.

Thanks

On the PG map you can place cargo objects on the static ships (the big ones, spawned with the map itself).

 

 

 

 

IIRC you could also place cargos on non moving ships (wheter they were units or static object)

I "sort of" have this working. You're right, the crates from the static ships in PG work great.

 

As far as from allied ships, I came up with this:

 

in CTLD:

 

ctld.slingLoad = true

 

ctld.spawnCrateAtZone("blue", 801, "cargo1")

 

With the zone defined on the deck of the Tarawa.

 

I tried this with ship groups that were dead still.

 

Picking it up is orders of magnitude harder than on the ground. The hook flails around wildly.

 

A couple times, what I believe occurred was that when I hooked it, the crate then fell through the deck, pulling the huey down sharply. I recovered from it, but it could easily have killed me.

 

This does not seem to happen from the stennis.

Is this working on moving ships or only stationary ones?
