Ai firing mortars

[PSD_006 0]

I've never seen this done before but i think it would be a pretty cool thing to add to a mission. Is there a way to get the ai to fire mortas are a certain area without simulating this with a artillery script? I want to be able to see the ai load the mortar and aim and shoot to give backup on an assault. I havent een this topic mentioned before and im not sure if its possible. Anybody have any ideas how to do this? Thanks

Maybe with an artillery script.  

J/K, don't know really. You mean in the editor, e.g. in a trigger? (unitname blah blah)

I think it is possible, you should have the unit have removed all m16 magazines and add some mortars.

then have him wolk trough a trigger that says he has got to fire(check unoficial command manual at bloodmixers site: http://members.lycos.co.uk/bloodmixer/ )

good luck

ok well ive decided to take the easy way out. Can u make an artillery script that uses the shell type the mortar does?

If so what is the shell number or type? Thanks

Allready exists go to OFP Editing centre site

Look Through them

I recomend

Halfway down the page Spinors command engine. It does a lot more with a choice of artilery types or mortars.

I used it in my Sainte Marie Hill mission

I also included AI controled artilery and shell incomming and outgoing sounds.

The ammo type is "Grenade" AFAIK.
