A spit screen to practise grenade throwing / firing

[Joe98 90]

In real life a soldier can practise, practise, practise !

Practice on flat ground, practise on rolling ground, practice throwing uphill and practise throwing downhill, practise throwing across dead ground - even with dummy grenades.

In the games we cannot practise. I have tried to practise but I don’t really know whether the grenade hit the small rock I was aiming for.

And when firing with a grenade launcher it goes so far that again I can’t tell whether I hit the target.

What we need is a split screen to practise with on a firing range.

The split screen only works in practise and does not work in a mission.

You split the screen to show the normal view and you also get a close up of the target.

Then you and see if you have hit the target. Hence you can practise.

Also 1 level firing range is not enough.

There needs to be 4 firing ranges.

One level, one looking uphill, one looking downhill and one looking across dead ground.

In A2OA the player can practise more often and on his own discretion.

hint:

use the editor

No.

A firing range with split screen is the answer.

split screen as you say is impossible with A2 engine.

you can do a lot of things for training:

1. script camera to target the projectile (in slow mod) and you'll see exactly where it will hit.

2. host your mission locally, start 2 instances of A2 - window mode, and join the same mission, use one player to shoot the other to view the target => split screen

You have just confirmed that what I have asked for can be done!

How about such missions be included in a tutorial sort of thing.

how about you do it yourself, or request it from the community?

[Joe98 90]

I am now requesting it from the community.

Included by the developers are a number "Showcases"

US Army Showcase

BAF Showcase

PMC Showcase

Takistani Showcase

UN Forces Showcase

Cicvilian Showcase

In every showcase, you can use each and every weapon, vehicle and aircraft used by that group.

And some of the have targets. Yet I still don't know the range.

Thre are boxes about the place with rangefinders. Finding the range finders is very difficult.

To change the request: When the charater enters a Showcase scenario, he is always equipped with a rangefinder.
