CTLD troop deploy distance

[CL30]

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the distance troops spawn from the helicopter? What I mean is when you load, for example, an Anti-Air group, fly to your destination and choose "Unload/Extract..." is it possible to adjust how far away from the chopper they magically appear at?

 

Just thinking it would be nice to be able to deploy these guys on cargo ships, or oil platforms, but they always spawn into the water.

Hey stranger. I've narrowed it down to this for you to try....

 

 

lines 3984 and 3985:

local x_Offset = math.cos(_angle) * 30
local y_Offset = math.sin(_angle) * 30

Try changing 30 to something lower on both lines. This math function appears to give the offset from your helo's position, so just make sure the number is more than 0, otherwise it looks like they'll spawn under your skids.

Thanks, GT! Gonna try it now. Much appreciated!

You can actually make it easier to change if you replace “30” with “ctld.troopSpawnDistance” (without the quotes), then go to the top of the script file where all the other variables are defined and make yourself a new one: ctld.troopSpawnDistance = 30. Now you only need to change the number here and it is also easier to find at the top of the script.

Interesting. Will have to try that, thanks!
