Making the MLRS fire at single target on a trigger

[Yeti1 1]

Hi all, like the title says I am trying to make the AI MLRS fire on a single target using a simple trigger, I have tried, 'myarty dotarget mytarget' and 'myarty dofire mytarget' but it doesn't work, I don't want to use the arty-module I just want to make the AI fire at this specific target, any ideas?

I just tried this in the trigger but it did not work, I tried at various distances too.

arty1 commandArtilleryFire [[3769, 12359, 34], "8Rnd_82mm_Mo_shells", 3];

Any ideas?

bump, really want to know how to get this working.

The annoying thing is I can order AI under my command to fire it (If I am in MLRS group), but I can't get it to work from a script!

I want the MLRS to fire on a town when I pass through certain triggers in my mission.

is your artillery unit actually called "arty1"?, you initial posted stating it was "myarty"

Yes it is bud, I was just using a random name for the first post.

Why not just use a virtual artillery support? I can't imagine a situation where you'll be able to see both the MRLS and your target at the same time so it shouldn't matter which MRLS fires.

Is it the same method as Arma 2?

Edit: I managed to get it to fire once in the direction it is facing then it does nothing, using this in a script..

arty1 doTarget T1;
arty1 fireAtTarget [T1,"rockets_230mm_GAT"];

I did try the arty support module but I couldn't get it working, I did use the Arma 2 one but cant figure this one out, I would prefer to see the MLRS if possible though.

I was just working on this today and this solution may be what you're looking for. Works in my testing with the MLRS just fine. :)
