trigger artillery strike support request event?

[stilton 0]

Hi,

I'd like an artillery strike / support request to be called via a trigger, not the player.. But i cant seem to find info in the function viewer on how to call an already setup virtual artillery piece - so i get all the included side chat..

There's plenty of stuff on the biki for how to do it in arma2, and it could be very well documented in the function viewer thingy.. But apparently i have no idea where to look :D if anyone can point me in the right direction me love you long time :)

I've seen someone else ask this question (but they were interested in helicopter transport) so i did search!

A search for the word "artillery" found this answer to your question as the first result.

..and somehow i think i've read every thread in the results apart from that one. somehow?

thanks! :)

...Still, that's not really what i'm after in truth...

In that example it requires you to have friendly mortars placed on the map, and it wouldn't include the radio chatter that comes with the virtual artillery piece.

I'm 99% sure you could do this in Arma2 with the SecOp module and a trigger to call it.. ? I'm just a bit shocked you cant do it in arma3.. considering the support requester / manager feels like an 'improved' version of the secop thingy.

..perhaps you can but i have no idea where to look... I couldn't even find reference to commandArtilleryFire in the function viewer..

Again, i'm not asking for the answer to be handed to me -- if anyone could just point me in the right direction -- like where i can look to find this in the function/config viewer as opposed to just giving me a working script... I'd actually feel more accomplished.
