Spawning Missile midair to hit a helicopter

[seriousxD 1]

I am working on a mission where a helicopter comes to extract my team, but gets shot down as it comes in. How can I spawn a missile midair and get it to hit the helicopter? Also when I am placing multiple way points for my team, it just says wait. And it never shows the next one. How do I make it display the next way point?

You'll have to create a unit with a Stinger for that to work, since creating a missile mid-air and getting it to fly towards the helo isn't possible (atleast that's what I know of, I've tested it with 3 unguided and 2 guided missiles, they just fall straight to the ground even if spawned in the air).

RU_Soldier_AA could be used for that, and take a look at createUnit array.

I've used a version of this and it works ok.

What you could do is a doTarget doFire type thing (Sorry I'm bad with syntax) and find a way to get rid of the missile fire-er after firing (Probably teleport underground and kill via setDammage)

Got a script you can put in a waypoint init.

-Spawns missile

-Creates explosion, fire, smoke

-Tail rotor / engine failure and crew exit.

-Helicopter explodes after crew clear

- Requires functions module on map

Example mission: HeliCrash2.Shapur_BAF.zip

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37698503/HeliCrash2.Shapur_BAF.zip

nul = [(vehicle this)] execVM "crash.sqf"; //in helicopter waypoint init

//nul = [(vehicle this)] execVM "crash.sqf"
//in helicopter waypoint init

waitUntil {!isNil "bis_fnc_init"};
_heli = _this select 0;
 _list = assignedCargo _heli;
   _ldr = leader (group (_list select 1));
     _crew = crew _heli;

_heli land "LAND";

_mpos = getMarkerPos "msl";
 _hpos = getPosATL _heli;
   _dir = [_mpos, _hpos] call BIS_fnc_dirTo;

_missile = "M_Igla_AA" createVehicle _mpos;
 _missile setPos [getMarkerPos "msl" select 0, getMarkerPos "msl" select 1, (getMarkerPos "msl" select 2)+3];
   _missile setDir _dir;

//Change the middle value below to get missile trajectory (pitch) correct, missile must pass close to helicopter:
//[object, pitch, bank] call BIS_fnc_setPitchBank;
[_missile, 8, 0] call BIS_fnc_setPitchBank;

waitUntil {(_missile distance _heli) <=20};
 deleteVehicle _missile;

//fire and explosion
[_heli,4.0,120,false,false] spawn BIS_Effects_Burn;
_b = getPosATL _heli;
  _w = createVehicle ["Sh_125_HE", _b, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
    _h = createVehicle ["weaponHolder", _b, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
      _w setPosATL (getPosATL _h);

//crash tail rotor failure
waitUntil {(getpos _heli select 2) <=30};
 _heli setHit ["mala vrtule", 1];
   _heli setFuel 0;

waitUntil {(getpos _heli select 2) <=0.5};
 {unassignvehicle _x; dogetout _x} foreach _list;
   {[_x] joinSilent (group _ldr)} foreach _crew;
     hint "Run! It's going to explode!";

waitUntil {(_ldr distance _heli) >=60};
 _heli setDammage 1;

Would this last one still work? I'm assuming functions module doesn't exist anymore

[CHICKENLICKEN 56]

Oh sorry just seen this is for A2

"BIS_fnc_Init" is still true in A3 after functions compile, so yeah should work, but classnames would have to be changed to whatever the A3 proxies are.
