Don't bother fixing the miltary Mi-17 it's broken!

[conthefruiter 7]

So after hours of parts collecting and refuelling we finally fixed the military mi-17, when I got in and out I poped up inside it looked to the left and was insta-killed my body sunk and I lost my prized radio. So after a long run back to devils castle we took off. Now the problem with the choper which makes it absolutely useless is to unload people you have to hover 3m off the ground and get them to eject, then you land hop out and you will pop up inside it then do not move a muscle, abort and log back in you will then be outside it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THE MI-17 IT'S BUGGED.

In the bugs list for the upcoming updated it says they cannot replicate this bug. It's not that hard get a mi-17 and get in and out you will then die if you move.

TLDR;

It's broken keep away or die!

Hello there

@everyone is this not already a known bug? If so then I feed, If not then I shall slink away hungrily.

If they can't reproduce it then you must either be doing something different to them or your environment is different to theirs so they need more information in order to get it fixed.

That is sad.

[terrorizer33 131]

It normally works to just get out and start running in any direction straight away.. but ye it's a bug..

[Imafighter 236]

I didn't know this.

This !! I really don't know how they can't reproduce this bug or how it is supposedly so rare as it happens to pretty much everyone I game with when we have the Russian..

[terrorizer33 131]

Havent died once cause of this bug, but seen a couple of my mates have this problem.. (and I chuckled at them breaking bones and dying :D :D)

[r4z0r49 4761]

We have re-based it on the mi17_cdn class. Getout spawns you in the same place every time can you give more info.

Your telling us you getin then getout of the chopper and you kill your self. We tested using macros getting in and out for over 2 hours no issue? You do spawn a little close when you exit the vehicle.

Give us more info about what your doing my guess players are exiting before the chopper stops and as a result they get crushed.

Would you like a live video showing this?

[irl-calibre 744]

the only way I can describe it is, you get out of the chopper and you end up standing in the middle of it feet on ground, body inside the main body, if you don't react quickly after a couple of seconds your legs break and you die

I can tell you this does not happen in our environment. Ill ask the testers to try recreating this today.

I feel it's different for each person, and totally random.

I first time I ever entered an MI-17 it did this to me, but I did not die, escaped with broken legs.

I've tested this out extensively on the public hive, after it happens to one person, it does not appear to happen at all it seems.

Even other times I try it out and it doesn't do it to me, so it must happen under special circumstances.

Try your testing environment on a public hive when the chopper is a FRESH start. Always try multiple seats.

[Zodiac13 173]

Haven't seen that with the Mi-17 but I did see it with a chanook on the Oring map. Was it on a public hive server or was it a private hive someone was running?

[intensity 157]

Never seen this happen before. Although, I've always destroyed any of the Mi-17s I find because of how useless they are to me (too big to keep hidden at bases, etc.). ;~;

So the good news we found this error its a bug in the anti tp system its the reason you spawn behind the chopper

13:12:34 "TELEPORT REVERT: R4Z0R49 (Location) from [Location] to [Location] (5.91505 meters) now at [Location inside]"

During our testing we don't have BE enabled or any other security system that is added later when testers get the tools. Now we have a dedicated server running for testing all the filters (Which we will include this time) we can test all tools in a working game environment.

So yep fix will be out for this also.

[irl-calibre 744]

nice 1! also sometimes when switching between seats you fall out of it completely and die, would this also be related to the anti-tp system?

[r4z0r49 4761]

I would guess so at this stage. we are just looking at fixing the tp script

[terrorizer33 131]

haha I had this once as well.. thought I was just being a numpty clicking on Get out instead of switching seats... I just fell and died :D

Gotta give you props for this fix. Going prone on exiting the mi17 to avoid broken legs or death is getting tiresome.

I'm not sure if you hear/read it often enough but, thank you for all the time and effort you're putting into the mod.

[disgruntled 38]

yeah it's a common thing.

creature beat me to it but proning or crouching will save you from broken boned unconsciousness when exiting the mi17. i have also been thrown out mid flight when changing seats, lost my first ghillie to that ages ago

This has happened to me in the UAZ, but only once. When it did happen, the vehicle had been "server shifted" on top of two piles of timber, so that it was both crooked and slightly above ground enough so that it's wheels didn't touch the ground at any point. When I exited, I spawned in the middle of the vehicle and promptly died.

Hope this helps with reproducing this pesky bug.

Meh yes the bugs are annoying but I still love the chopper.

[the-kuutti 18]

My mate just died on this Mi bug, he exits the chopper and insta dies, broken bones sounds and death. I was piloting and was getting out of the chopper multiple times without problems even though I spawned inside the chopper.
