Request: Red Smoke on EI in Area.

[ravsun 1]

Hello.

I am looking for an Addaction that would red smoke Enemy infantry in a 500km area.

CLOSE AIR SUPPORT (Day 2) Has it on radio command. I looked into the script for it.

I just don't know enough to implement it in my mission.

Any help would be Great.

Thanks

So...

I can make the smoke but cant get it to drop in areas with EI in it.

I dont want to make variables for each unit... So can the script just look for opfor?

Any help would be great..

thanks

what is u grouped the units and name their groups then u can do something like this

_NMEgrp = createMarker ["nmegrpmkr", getPosASL "put groupname here"];
_smoke = "SmokeShellRed" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "nmegrpmkr");

and then if u have many groups you can do this

_NMEgrp = createMarker ["nmegrpmkr", getPosASL "put groupname here"];
_NMEgrp1 = createMarker ["nmegrpmkr1", getPosASL "put groupname here"];
_NMEgrp2 = createMarker ["nmegrpmkr2", getPosASL "put groupname here"];

_smoke = "SmokeShellPurple" createVehicle (getMarkerPos [_NMEgrp,_NMEgrp1,_NMEgrp2]);

I tryed activating that script with add action and a trigger.. does not work.

On init of A164

this addAction ["Mark Targets", "smoke.sqf"]

Script:

_NMEgrp = createMarker ["nmegrpmkr", getPosASL "EI1"];

_smoke = "SmokeShellRed" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "nmegrpmkr");

Enemy group leader init:

EI1 = group this;

doesent work..

thanks

Tested.

smoke.sqf:

//this addAction ["Mark Targets", "smoke.sqf"]

private ["_nearestEnemies","_unit","_player","_pos","_nearestUnits","_tgt","_smoke","_index"];

_player = _this select 0;
_pos = getPos _player;

_nearestUnits = nearestObjects [_pos,["Man"],500];
_nearestEnemies = [];

if(EAST countSide _nearestUnits > 0) then{
  {
     _unit = _x;
     if(side _unit == EAST) then{_nearestEnemies = _nearestEnemies + [_unit]};
  } foreach _nearestUnits;

_index = (random (count _nearestEnemies));
_tgt = _nearestEnemies select _index;
_smoke = "SmokeShellRed" createVehicle (getPos _tgt);
};

The script creates an array of all relevant units then selects one at random to mark with smoke.

Where _nearestUnits is defined, you can add other vehicle types to look for and change the search radius (500 meters seems a little narrow for CAS).

_nearestUnits = nearestObjects [_pos,["Man","Car","Tank"],3000];
