Make the a-10 strafe a position

[Whargod 0]

Hi,

I am getting better at scripting, but I can't seem to figure this one out.

I have a defend the hill type mission going, and I want to have an A-10 flying at about 1000 that will fly over the hill constantly and randomly strafe it with its 30-mm cannon.

I don't want it hitting the same spot all the time, just sort-of randomly hitting the hill within a certain radius.

Can anyone please tell me how this can be done, or even if it's possible?

Thanks!

my friend has a script that does something to that effect but its more like bombs. However you could edit to make the explosions smaller. I'll post it when i get it.

Very hard to get A10 to aim it's gun at the ground like that.... you would have to play around with comandWatch and commandTarget, then use the fire command when needed.

Or maybe create a small object of the opposite side (east west etc) of the A10 and move it around the area where you want strafing. remove the A10's bombs, and see if he attacks the "invisible" target.

Ok, I'll try making some objects and see what happens.

How do I remove the bombs from an A-10 anyhow?

maybe

In the Unit Initialization Feild:

this removeweapon "x"

and/or

this removemagazines "x"

where x is the name of the A10's Mavericks. I don't know the name, but check the Unofficial Command Reference.

BTW I'm not sure if this will work, so lemmie know if it does.

it is not that complicated. set 5 or six game logics at the desired region. Let the A 10 target them. then randomly change through the targets by script. Should solve your problem.
