Search and Rescue

If you want to make your helicopter compatible with search and rescue, you need to create an animated hoist with a rescuee / victim model. The hoist should extend about 35 feet below the helicopter. To make it work, you need to monitor and set a number of local variables.

Lvars to set

MMH_COMPATIBILITY_SAR

Always set to 1

MMH_HOIST_POSITION

0 = At top, not extended 100 = At bottom, fully extended

MMH_SAR_ACFT_RESCUEE

Set to 1 when the rescuee / victim is shown in the cockpit (i.e. rescue completed). You need to do this logic yourself, basically when hoist is at top and rescuee is picked, move the rescuee to the cockpit and set the lvar to signal mission success.

Lvars to read

MMH_RESCUEE_PICKED

1 = Show rescuee / victim attached to the hoist

MMH_SAR_MISSION_ACTIVE

1 = SAR mission is active
