[Release] GOM_CB - Carpet Bombing V1.1

[Grumpy Old Man 3550]

GOM - Carpet Bombing V1.1

 

 

 

 

This simple script will simulate carpet bombing and is easy to use.
Air Raid sirens will sound an alarm before the bombing takes place (directional sound).

Custom placed objects will also play the air raid sound (i.e. "Land_Loudspeakers_F").
Bombs will make a bomb dropping sound before impact.

//GOM_CB V1.1 by Grumpy Old Man
//
//Changelog V1.1
//-MP and dedicated Server compatible

//improved bomb spread and spacing
//added air raid sirens to various vanilla buildings (fully autonomous) and bomb falling sounds

//first parameter gives the bomb type, empty string will make the script use a random bomb, mod bombs will also be used
//second parameter holds the position that should be bombed
//third parameter holds the direction
//fourth parameter defines the amount of bombs to be dropped
//fifth parameter defines the average distance for the bombs to spread

//example:

_bomb = ["",screenToWorld [0.5,0.5],270,20,100] spawn GOM_fnc_carpetbombing;

//this will drop a carpet of 20 bombs of a random type, beginning at the screen center position, moving ~100m from east to west

//value limits are 48 bombs, 250 meters to prevent the script from bombing the entire map

Pretty! Thanks!

[warlord554 2065]

Is the news scroll the same from A2?

[Grumpy Old Man 3550]

It is, and it's working the same way.

Here's a well known example:

[IndeedPete 1038]

Looks good, I can definitely make use of it!

[Grumpy Old Man 3550]

Added some features.

[DreamRebel 73]

Nice mod, I love it.

[Grumpy Old Man 3550]

On request of DreamRebel and in case anyone else was wondering about the rotating camera script:

place an object at some height and run this in its init:

nul = [this] execVM "GOM_fnc_camrotate.sqf";

GOM_fnc_camrotate.sqf:

  Reveal hidden contents

_cam = _this select 0;
_cam switchcamera "INTERNAL";
_dir = getdir _cam;
while {alive _cam} do {

_scanningright = true;
_scanningleft = false;
while {_scanningright AND ((getdir _cam) < _dir + 25)} do {
_cam setdir ((getdir _cam) + 0.1);
sleep 0.02;

if ((getdir _cam) > _dir + 25) then {_scanningright = false;_scanningleft = true;};
};



sleep 4;

while {_scanningleft AND ((getdir _cam) > _dir - 20)} do {
_cam setdir ((getdir _cam) - 0.1);
sleep 0.02;

if ((getdir _cam) < _dir - 25) then {_scanningleft = false;_scanningright = true};

};

sleep 4;
};

Cheers!

looks amazing but dose anyone know a way i can restrict this to a certain slot?

[VLADIMPALER72 5]

[johnnyboy 3802]

This is sweet, and thanks for the rotating camera script also.  Great job.

[Grumpy Old Man 3550]

Updated the script and added a new video.

 

Better bomb spacing/spread

It's also local MP and dedi compatible now.

It might come over for you guys as a dumb question, however .. I am not so experienced with ArmA scripting.

 

I tried to get this script working. I created a init.sqf file inside my mission folder. I created a trigger, which is activated by BLU-FOR, and in the init of the trigger I have

_bomb = ["",screenToWorld [0.5,0.5],270,20,100] spawn GOM_fnc_carpetbombing;

However, nothing happend. What exacly did I do wrong?

Triggers don't have an init field, you need to put it inside the triggers "On Activation" field.

Also make sure the trigger fires by adding this line:

 

hint "Trigger fired!";

If the hint doesn't show, then the trigger doesn't fire.

Hola buenas saludos desde España, quisiera saber si hay alguna manera de fijar una clase de bomba y anular la alatoriedad.
