immersive HALO jump mod [3AS+LS]
Original by pandemic
THIS IS A COMPOSITION, NOT A NORMAL MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This means that you have to do a little extra work to install it, but it’s very easy and simple. Like, extremely easy and simple.
WHAT IS THIS?
This is a super easy to use, super light-weight, immersive HALO/HAHO jump mod. I’m not an experienced modder so that should tell you how simple and easy to use it is. This mod allows you to:
1) Choose ANY desired location to HALO jump
2) Choose different altitudes (2k, 4k, 6k, 8k, 10k meters)
3) Use whatever gear/parachute you want
4) Immersive red light/green light functions in conjunction with cargo ramp opening
5) Ability to give player and AI a parachute while storing current loadout which will be restored upon landing
6) Singleplayer/multiplayer compatibility
7) Vehicle drops! (Car AND Boats!)
8) Choose your flight time!
INSTALLATION
1) Right click on the mod in your Arma 3 Launcher -> "Open folder" -> "I Understand"
2) Open the "Immersive HALO Jump" folder
3) Copy the ENTIRE "Compositions" folder
4) Paste in your Arma 3 profile folder
5) Profit.
HOW TO USE
1) In the editor, go to compositions (F2) – > Custom – > Place "Pandemics_Halo_Jump" or "Pandemics_HALO_SINGLEPLAYER" – the composition now only contains the laptop/table: everything else now spawns dynamically!
—-NOTE: You can use the Singleplayer composition in mulitplayer if you are using AI teammates and players
2) Go in game, use the laptop (3 really easy steps, 4 if using singleplayer composition)
—-NOTE: Give the plane a couple seconds to process before you board it
—-NOTE 2: Only one person needs to select the DZ and altitude, everyone else just needs to hit "board plane"
3) Giving AI team mates (if you have them) parachutes via scrollwheel action will store their current loadout, then give them a parachute, then restore the loadout once they land
4) "Board Plane" will teleport whichever player selects it, and the AI team if you are in command of them (each player needs to select "board plane" who wishes to board)
5) Once in the plane, the red light will automatically turn on which will open the doors on its own. After the doors are open, the green light will turn on and AI team mates (if you have them) will eject)
6) 60 seconds-ish after the player touches the ground, the plane/marker/everything involved will despawn
HOW TO USE IN ZEUS
1) Open Zeus
2) Go to Groups -> Empty -> Custom Compositions -> Other
3) Place dat comp bro
4) Profit.
Vehicles

-There are two slots for vehicles, you may select one vehicle per slot
-Once you have boarded the plane, an action will become availible TO THE PERSON THAT SET UP THE FLIGHT PLAN/SELECTED VEHICLES when looking at the plane to drop each vehicle
-Select those actions when you’re ready to drop and the vehicles will launch out the rear of the plane
-DO NOT STAND IN THE WAY!! YOU WILL GET HURT/DIE!!!!
-Parachutes on vehicles will automatically deploy around ~250m and will automatically have IR strobes attached that will turn off 2 minutes after touching down
