Stunt position on midair cars? + other stuff...

[Flaire]

The question on podcast 4 about getting into a car hanging underneath a heli (or plane, whatever, I can't remember) got me thinking about a few possibilities/questions:

1 - If an enemy drives gets airborne in a car (lets say off a cliff (there would be a long falling ime)), and you grapple to it, will you go into the stunt position as you would if it was just driving along? If the answer to this is yes, then surely the answer to the question in podcast 4 is possible - tether car to heli, take it up high, untether it and exit the heli at the same time, then grapple to it, stunt position and enter it. Tadaaah!

2 - If you were driving along in your car, got into your stunt position then got airborne (lets say off a cliff again) can you still move around onto the bumpers etc as you can while it's just on flat ground?

3 - When in a stunt position on your car in midair, if the car turns upside down (which we know can happen), will Rico fall off? Or more generally, is there any time at which he can be knocked off? We saw in the extreme chicken trailer Rico on a firetruck while a plane takes off. If the plane had hit him, would he be knocked away, take a lot of damage or just die straight up?

Thanks for what I already know will be amazing/witty replies

1- im sure its possible, it would just be retarded if its not.

2- anatomy of a stunt 3, rico goes into stunt position in mid-air.

3- i was thinking the same..

It would suck if Rico did not fall when in stunt position on the roof upside down.

[Rozzatron]

He would go underground or he would stand on his head and hold the car up with his feet.

3 i guess its possible in the "bad quality" demo vid he falls off a bike when on rough grond so i ges impact does make you fall

[The Gray Fox]

I think that he will fall off ore be splatted if the car goes upside down

is it possible to grapple stuff in this stunt position? are you able to grapple the car and attach it to the ground?

that'd be funny to hook the car to the ground and go flipping over it from that position

and pressing a button to start slowmo (just for the coolness factor) while haning on the car and flipping through the air.... but I don't wanna get to excited there have to be limitations and I (we) have to accept that... still there are a TONE of funny stuff to do... so far so good congrats beloved developers :D

In the video rico dual grapples a hummer to a bridge, which sends it flying.. I dont see why you wouldn't be able to do it on a car you're on... and that would be so cool to slingshot yourself while standing on top..

I see some good questions.

As for the thing that was mentioned in podcast 4: In Just Cause 1 it was possible to skydive e.g. onto a car without using neither parachute nor the grapple by triggering stunt position immediately above the car. If this is possible in JC2, you can pull off some really cool stuff. Some examples:

Tether the car to a helicopter, fly up, jump out of the helicopter, trigger stunt position as you fall towards the tethered car, get into the car, untether the car from the helicopter and enjoy your car skydive.

A more difficult thing would be the "Aerial Car Taxi": Prepare 2 cars at the airport. Tether the first one to a helicopter with pilot that shows up. Then use the second one to pursuit the helicopter. Why? 'Cause while the other car is tethered, you can't grapple the chopper. While at high speed then go into stunt position, open your chute to get a boost up. Toggle free fall, then try to fall towards the helicopter with the tethered car, to be more exactly your target is the car of course. As you get close to the car, toggle stunt position and enter it. --> Let the car tethered as long as you want and enjoy your flight.

wow, you're really thought about this haven't u? I was thinking I would just tether a car to a heli, go to the roof of the game world, let go of the car from the heli, then skydive to the car and see if i could get in or on form there.... don't think I would neccisarily live, but hey, since when was that ever important. right?:nut:
