Fast Roping
THIS HAS BEEN COPIED FROM THE NOVAWORLD FORUMS. ALL THANKS AND CREDIT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE NWMODERATOR WHO POSTED IT.
To make the rope go down, set up your triggers for when you want it to occur then for action:
go-->change AI (single, or group depending on how you assigned helo)--> play part animation --> select group of helo, anim 1, play forward, and
thenthe time you want it to take for the rope to extend down to its full length. (the rope always descends to a set distance. the time is how fast
it takes to get to that distance)
NOw the rope is down. (when you want to put the rope up and have it fly away, do the same thing, but play the animatoin in reverse.
Now the rope is down. To make a guy in the helicopter go down it, you have to wait until the rope is extended then set up an action as follows:
Change AI single --> find and use ssn --> ssn of ai to use rope, ssn of blackhawk.
the AI will then attach to the rope and slide down.
Some x seconds later, you are going to want to Change that same AI to -->find and use ssn --> ssn of AI, ssn set to zero (i.e. it is no longer trying
to find and use anything.)
This details one person fast roping.
Genearlly you will need the following events
Event 1: blackhaw reaches waypoint, and lowers rope
Event 2: delayed x second from event 1 such that rope is now down, send down first guy
Event 3: delayed x seconds from event 1 such that the first guy down is now at the bottom of the rope, detatch him and send down another guy
Event 4...5...6...7. etc.. just like event 3 until everone is out of the helicopter
Event 8: delayed x seconds from event 1, Detatch last guy
Event 9: delayed x seconds from event 1, no more guys on rope, send the rope up
Event 10: send the blackhawk on its way.
Note with each event the value X should be eincreasing.
I still Advise you to downloads anoshi's ai tutorial it is a very good example to go by.

This fast roping is done completely by events within the editor and not at all through wac so all who are in the mission should see the ai fast rope
and see the rope.

wat does" play part animation" mean?:o
|
|

Plays the animation for lowering or raising the rope...or the LCAC ramp in EXP...you need to specify how long for it to be played, then, to bring the
rope up, play the animation in reverse..

Red, there are some things that where meant to be in SP only...like using ssn10000, I think because the player can't actually fastrope, they never
thought anyone would need the animation in a MP game...

Just what the doctor ordered. What all map makers need. Clear, concise instruction. Nice one Chris.
Maybe I'll use the info to improve my laudable attempts at single player maps! 
Sad that it dont really work in co-op though...

Load your map into the med on P1, load anoshi tut into P2...copy the events from Anoshi tut to yours, then change the details...ssn, waypoint, etc...

Geez..I finally figured out what your doing...fast roping..it's for AI only...and not for the actual Player.
There are a heap of posts here at DFB covering this....
Just remember, no player controlled by a human can fast rope...
I just assumed you knew this already..

Well, if you would have read this post..
http://www.dfbarracks.com/forums/viewthread.php?tid=23888
I tell mention it there, Keep telling people to use the unlocked Med from Novasheep.com, but no one ever listens..
Unlockled Med H and I may cause crash in 3d mode..it's not really for use after the 1.5.0.5 update..unless you haven't updated..
