Check if the position operating the flak36 gun is a gunner position. If it's a commander it might not work, could add a check for this in the future if that's the case.

canadian1337 17 Posted October 11, 2017 Hey man, great script! I was wondering if it is possible to make AAA shoot in longer bursts (about 50 rounds and more). Wanted to make the new Praetorian (Phalanx CIWS) create a carrier defense ambience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zer0cool 0 Posted November 13, 2017 Hi, great Script looks realy nice but i run in too some troubbles in my mission the AA guns will be destroyed and every time a plane destroys one i get this error RPT Snapshot: Error in expression <turret (assignedvehiclerole gunner _gun select 1); _shotsleep = getNumber (confi> Error position: <select 1); _shotsleep = getNumber (confi> Error Zero divisor File C:\Users\*deleted*\Documents\Arma 3\missions\randommission.Tanoa\Ambient-AA\GOM_fnc_ambientAA.sqf, line 52 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted April 8, 2018 @Grumpy Old Man Very nice ambient script, I found one bug, same as reported before me. I believe there are instances where the crew bails out which causes the 'assignedvehiclerole gunner _gun' array to be empty, so select 1 throws an error. I added the below line before it and I stopped seeing the error. Thanks. if (assignedvehiclerole gunner _gun isEqualTo []) exitWith { true }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frenki 21 Posted May 27, 2018 Grumpy Old Boi i am currently working on a mission with your script, but both with it updated or with older version, i cant make ZSU39, Cheetah or Nyx to fire, they just turn the turret in right direction. I did tried with lot of other vechiles from CUP and RHS, no problem with them, can you assume what is the problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZSU39 and Cheetah should work fine, Nyx has the missiles selected by default, that might be causing the issue. V1.2.1: Fixed: Vehicles that had missiles selected as default would not fire Let me know if you run into anything. Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenki 21 Posted May 27, 2018 I was using 20mm Nyx withouth rockets, but just like other two, he rises his gun towards sky but aint shooting. I will test it again today with 1.2.1 and will report back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ketzl 0 Posted July 2, 2019 I can see that theres some code in there to determine the firerate, but i'm an idiot and can't work out how to alter it? How would I do so? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How would I do so? Something like this will do: test addEventhandler ["Fired",{ params ["_unit", "_weapon", "_muzzle", "_mode", "_ammo", "_magazine", "_projectile", "_gunner"]; _reloadTime = _unit getVariable ["TAG_fnc_fireRate",1]; _unit setWeaponReloadingTime [_gunner, _muzzle, _reloadTime]; }]; test setVariable ["TAG_fnc_fireRate",0.75]; Where the value (0.75 as example) stands for seconds between rounds.

NeisAEL 0 Posted September 17, 2021 Hey man, sorry to bother but I'm having a real headache here. I created 5 AA guns and named them accordingly in the init field of the object. this setVariable ["GOM_fnc_ambientAABatteryID","AABattery01",true]; The name "AABattery01" increases for each gun, so "AABattery02", "AABattery03" etc. I created a trigger in my mission for present players with this in the "On Activation"-field _battery = [AABattery01,AABattery02,AABattery03,AABattery04,AABattery05]; _AA = ["_battery",5] execVM GOM_fnc_ambientAA; But everytime the trigger fires, it says "You need to specify AA guns through the object init field." I checked the ambientAA.sqf myself and found out that if the _guns array returns empty, it says this. If I try to put _battery = [AABattery01,AABattery02,AABattery03,AABattery04,AABattery05]; _AA = [_battery,5] execVM GOM_fnc_ambientAA; in the "On Activation"-field it says "Local variable in global space" and I cant save the trigger. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I'm not very good at scripting. Some help would be really appreciated, thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4829 Posted September 17, 2021 local variable: _battery , _AA global one : battery, AA (no underscore) In a trigger, use global ones or spawn/call the code. Examples: call {_battery = [AABattery01,AABattery02,AABattery03,AABattery04,AABattery05]; _AA = [_battery,5] execVM GOM_fnc_ambientAA; } or [] spawn {_battery = [AABattery01,AABattery02,AABattery03,AABattery04,AABattery05]; _AA = [_battery,5] execVM GOM_fnc_ambientAA; } Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeisAEL 0 Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Now its giving me undefined variable in expression "aabattery01"? I haven't changed anything in the obj init field?? And I straight up copied your examples, tried both of them. Edit: The "call" example is giving me an "generic error in expression" near the execVM order. Edit2: The "spawn" example is giving the undefined variable in expression "aabattery01". I didnt copy the other function in correctly. So neither of them is working unfortunately.

NeisAEL 0 Posted April 23, 2022 I'm still having a problem where the AA just fires parallel to the ground and not into the air. It's damaging everything at ground level. Is there a way to declare a target? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarogahtyp 1108 Posted April 23, 2022 usually the script fires at a random position somewhere in the air. you can't declare a target but you could pass an array of ASL positions to the script by using the 4th parameter. The script will select one of those positions randomly. I created a working example mission which shows that the script works flawlessly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7spbwtcl1dj0y8/tempMissionMP.VR.zip?dl=0 It does not use those predefined positions array. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
