Try this {Yourunitsname doArtilleryFire , marker, classname for artillery magazine, 5];} foreach units group yourunitsname; Put this in a trigger classnames for mortars are "8Rnd_82mm_Mo_shells", not real sure about the big guns though. The 1st part defines basically a unit in the group Youunitsname, the second one is for your marker or object. If its a marker may want to put it in quote, Then you have to put "8Rnd_82mm_Mo_shells" for mortars, or find the mag type for the big gungs, and last one 5 is for how many rounds it will fire, the last part makes the whole group fire. If you want just 1 unit to fire take away {} foreach units group yourunitsname. ;) Hope this helps.

Here is a link to the basic version http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getArtilleryAmmo Im not a moderator, but you may get one telling you to do some more searches. there is plenty of information on this site and the one I just put down :)

Im not sure this will help I just noticed it took me to an arma 2 forum. but there are searches on both sites that will help ya on this issues if what I typed down doesnt.

make a script using a text editor. In the script file

_battery = _this select 0;//the name of the artillery module you place in the editor
_tgt = _this select 1;//the name of the target, again has to be placed and named in the editor for simplicity
_fm = [];
_fmType = "Timed";
_rndType = "HE";
_delay = 3;//seconds between shots
_duration = _someTime;//however long you want the mission to last
_fm = [_fmType,_rndType,_delay,_duration];
if(! _battery getVariable "ARTY_ONMISSION")then
{
[_battery,getPosATL _tgt,_fm] call BIS_ARTY_F_executeTemplateMission;
};

name the above script something like arty.sqf. Create another script in your mission folder and name it init.sqf. In the init.sqf file run this script using null = [_battery,_tgt] execVM "arty.sqf". I would use an empty helipad rather than a marker though since the artillery target has to get a 3 digit coordinate to work, and you can't use getPosASL or getPosATL on markers.

community.bistudio.com/wiki/Artillery_Module‎ provides plenty of information, since there are other variables you can use to make it more dynamic.
