Hi. I read the psych0fred's ODFs Guide this lines: So, I have some questions about that.

1) work?
2) Is it for?
3) It applies to a LAAT / C?
4) Has anyone used this code?

Thank in advance.

Haven't seen this yet, but it seems interesting.

CargoNode...maybe a vehicle spawn?
That would be cool to carry it, drop it and it spawns one AT-TE for example.

*.*

For that reason I ask this, I think it would be great. Even if the cargo was inanimate (not a vehicle) this code had many applications in flyers. If I'm not wrong, someone can drop an turret from sniper (I can not remember...), maybe this is some similar code.

Hmhm

BTW, I found that in the AT-TEs odf, I don't know what it is exactly, but it is there.

Wow!

These node/hardpoint? maybe the "connection" to this flyer type.

Maybe the AT-TE can be moved and then droped from an LAAT/C....

Is these node in the AT-TE hierachy? can you see in the Uvwrap3d? I'm out of my house, not have the program instaled...

Well, i am not a modeller at all, but wouldn't it be possible to be seen in XSI as well?

Pretty sure the carrier class is broken/unused. Someone made an Atte drop through lua and ze animations though.

Carrier is a variation of the flyer classlabel, according one of psych0fred's charts. Unfortunately, despite my efforts, it doesn't seem to be a working classlabel. At least, it's not properly displayed visually, the positions become horribly bugged while using this classlabel, and I've yet to see it behave as any docs suggest, though some appear to use this term loosely in reference to flyers. In other words, it doesn't really work, though you can get it ingame. Then again, I could be doing something wrong.

As for the odf lines, I'm not sure if they work, what exactly they are used for, or if they could be applied to an LAAT/c, mostly because the docs suggest carriers ferry troops from a friendly CP associated landing hint to one associated with an enemy CP. (Landing hints assume association with the nearest CP if it's not set in ZE.) However, my experiments give me the impression that they ignore landing hints, even though the docs suggest they work on "carriers". Since they refuse to land, I can't tell whether the other lines have any effect.

Oh . There must be some reason why this code is incorporated in the guide parameters. I have made the animation with LUA script and ZE animations but seeing these lines I thought it was possible to do something similar but in a controlled vehicle.

would work with different objects to a ATTE? I mean drop objects (props, turrets).

There are a number of "broken" parameters in the odf guides. This is one of them.

I believe Carrier is from BF1. It was a variation of flyer used for the LAAT/i and MAF gunships so that they would land at land hintnodes and other fliers wouldn't.

Pysch0fred said that the Carrier was used to drop off vehicles in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and that the code to use it correctly is broken in both SWBF1 and SWBF2. It's one of the things he tried to fix via odf parameters for a long time.

Then why doesn't the land hint node work in BF2?

Aside from that there's a large number of broken things altogether. Land hint nodes are one of them.

So, this is not working for BFII?

Yep, it's broken. AI can't land.

well, I understand the point , thanks to all for answer.

I just answered the question -- carriers are broken, and that's what the hint node was used for. The carriers would land, drop off the tank/AT-TE, whatever and fly off.
