Artillery Protection zones?

[Dimrose 23]

Has anyone seen or know of a way to prevent a player from firing at a specific part of the map when they use the artillery computer from a artillery vehicle or mortar?

I would set a fired EH on each arty and if a bullet is fired checking if its position is inArea every 0.3 seconds and if it is just delete the bullet.

I agree with sarogahtyp, except that inArea would also catch bullets flying over the area. So a simple distance from center check would be better.
Also, is deleting the bullet really enough? Why not return it to the sender?

_projectile setVelocity (velocity _projectile vectorMultiply -1.01);

Isn't there some kind of friendly fire safety zone function?  Maybe adapt that?

 

Actually, no!  Greenfist's return-to-sender idea is clearly the best way to approach this!

Thanks! Think I will make options for both. One to prevent a task from being too easy and the other for dealing with the TKers firing at base.

Appreciate the quick response!
