I'm looking for an Artillery script that fires when activated by a trigger...

Hey all,

I'm once again making a mission and in this one, 50 players will be defending a large FOB against a Russian AI attack. What I want to happen is when the BLUFOR enters a trigger around the FOB, an artillery/rocket strike will commence and start landing around the FOB. I only want it to last for 45 seconds to a minute and once it has finished, the Russian's will attack with ground forces. Thank you to any help in advance, I appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jake

Set the trigger to touch off when BLUFOR enters it, this can be done in editor, it's a simple thing, you don't need a script for that. What you need a script for is fireing the artillery.

Put in the "on act." field something like this:

_trigger = 1;
_x = 1;
while {_trigger == 1} do
{
 if (_x == 1) then
 {
   artUnit doTarget yourArtTarget;
   sleep 5;
 }
 artUnit doFire yourArtTarget;
 _x =+ 1;
 sleep 1;
 if (_x==45) then {_trigger = 0};
}

But this script will work only in theory, because I am not sure if the artillery will be able to shoot fast enough to avoid the sleep command from stopping it. Try it, maybe it will work.

Download the mission in this thread and see if you can adapt it.... shouldn't be too hard.

Gentlemen,

Thank you both for your help. Mr Twirly, that mission worked great and now I can finally progress with my mission!

Thanks,

Jake

Just another quick question. I managed to get this to work but I can only get one type of round to be fired. I'd like a mixture of Smoke and HE, is there to decide what type of round the Artillery piece fires?
