E2 Combine Helicopter

[DarkShadow6]

Introduction
A clone of the popular NPC, this thing strikes fear into even the most established GModders!
What is it?
I created and perfected a 100% Expression2 Combine Helicopter. No, it doesn't throw bombs at you. I couldn't figure that out, but don't worry! I'm trying! This is my very first published Wired contraption, so be nice! I would appreciate some constructive criticism, and not just "THS SUXX!!!!!1" if you don't like it.
EDIT: IT CAN THROW BOMBS (but you need the PewPew mod)

Make Your Own!
1. Spawn a Combine Helicopter (models/Combine_Helicopter.mdl)
2. You need the Weight STool. Set the helicopter's weight to 200 (or 225 if you want it to be smoother).
3. Spawn an Expression2 chip with the code bin the dupe file somewhere near the helicopter (Doesn't need to be on it!).

Optional steps:
4. Spawn a Wired Turret, then wire it to the chip. Weld it to the front of the helicopter on the model's turret. The heli was fine-tuned so that the model's turret is aiming at you.
5. Spawn two Wired Explosives. One is to be non-lethal with it's damage at 0, the other one with as much damage with the biggest radius that you can get it. This is the "final explosion", per-se. Wire the non-lethal one to "Explosive2" on the chip and the damaging one to "Explosive".
6. Spawn and weld a Damage Detector onto the helicopter. Wire it's first input to the "Damage" output on the chip.

If you're too lazy to do the above, then just use the dupe attached to this thread (combine helicopter ai v2_3).

I love contraptions like this I will have to try it out in-game and see how it works, I would to see you adding the bomb dropping.

[Zero Ame]

Why wouldnt you just use the E2 to set the helicopters weight?

[DarkShadow6]

I tried setMass(1) even, but for some reason it didn't work.
Oh, and sorry about the whole "Pictures / dupe tomorrow", I was playing Fallout 3 all day.

[warrior08]

findByModel("models/Combine_Helicopter.mdl")
E = findResult(1)
E:setMass(200)

or

E = entity():isConstrainedTo()
E:setMass(200)

[DarkShadow6]

Well fine, you try it and see that it doesn't work.
Mass and weight, though related, are two different things.

EDIT: DISREGARD THET I SUCK MATH AND CAN'T DO A GOOGLE SEARCH CURRECTLEE.
But still, it don't work.
