AI drop bomb with onMapSingleClick

[Wiki 1558]

Hello guys.

 

Is there a possibility to have an AI plane drop bomb on a specific position using onMapSingleClick command?

 

community.bistudio.com/wiki/onMapSingleClick

 

For example, once a trigger is activated, I want the player to be able to call an airstrike / bomb run using this command.

 

It doesn't work well with the modules.

Plus, I can't use the modules to have a napalm run with Unsung asset for example.

 

Thanks

 

Edit:

to do this for example:

 

[Wiki 1558]

Or at least, simulate a bomb run via the onMapSingleClick command.

 

I mean, create a napalm bomb on the position clicked on the map with the onMapSingleClick command.

Not tested:

onMapSingleClick "bomb = 'Bo_GBU12_LGB' createVehicle _pos; onMapSingleClick '';";

This is extremely basic. This won't create the plane fly over or anything else, it instantly creates the explosion where ever you click.

[Wiki 1558]

Works great, thanks

 

Edit:

 

how to have 2 bombs, let's say 5m away from each other?

[HazJ 1289]

Try:

onMapSingleClick "bomb = 'Bo_GBU12_LGB' createVehicle _pos; bomb2 = 'Bo_GBU12_LGB' createVehicle (bomb getPos [5, 0]); onMapSingleClick '';";

Might be better on having a function inside there or execVM a script which has all the code. If you plan to do more.

Thx, it works well.

 

Edit:

And also, to have them spawn after a few seconds.

 

Thanks

Retyped reply where I suggested using the countdown option in the trigger when I realized you were using the trigger to spawn the option of the bomb run.

 

Apologies :)

Hum, maybe your answered could be useful.

How would you do it?

 

Use onmapsingleclick command and a trigger to spawn the bombs?

It's interesting, but dunno how to do it.

I recommend you do this:

player onMapSingleClick {_this execVM "bombsAway.sqf";};

// bombsAway.sqf

private _requester = param [0, objNull];

if (isNull _requester) exitWith {};

_requester sideChat format ["Requesting CAS at map grid %1", mapGridPosition _pos];

_bomb = "Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle _pos;
sleep 2;
_bomb2 = 'Bo_GBU12_LGB' createVehicle (_bomb getPos [5, 0]);

onMapSingleClick "";

Not tested!

This way you can put more code in, etc...You can create the jet fly over and simulate the bomb drop using commands, setVelocity, etc...

Not sure if _pos exists still using this alt syntax. You'll have to do some testing.

Thx for the help, but it is not working.

I think we can't have onmapsingleclick + script behind.

I'll do some testing when I get chance. It'll be late evening tomorrow (Mon). For now try:

onMapSingleClick "[] spawn {bomb = 'Bo_GBU12_LGB' createVehicle _pos; sleep 2; bomb2 = 'Bo_GBU12_LGB' createVehicle (bomb getPos [5, 0]); onMapSingleClick '';};";

 

[Wiki 1558]

I knew you didn't test it.

I was just keeping you informed about the test I ran  ;-)

 

I'll try the other one, thx

 

Edit:

nope, not working either.

[HazJ 1289]

Try:

onMapSingleClick "_this spawn {bomb = 'Bo_GBU12_LGB' createVehicle _pos; sleep 2; bomb2 = 'Bo_GBU12_LGB' createVehicle (bomb getPos [5, 0]); onMapSingleClick '';};";
onMapSingleClick "[_pos] spawn {bomb = 'Bo_GBU12_LGB' createVehicle (_this select 0); sleep 2; bomb2 = 'Bo_GBU12_LGB' createVehicle (bomb getPos [5, 0]); onMapSingleClick '';};";

If this doesn't work then I'll start my game and test myself. Too lazy at the moment!

[Wiki 1558]

Nah, that's ain't working unfortunately.

@Wiki Last year, this script was still working:

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23139

 

You may try it or get inspiration reading its code.

[Wiki 1558]

Edit:

 

gave a try.

Looks nice, but the napalm bomb is not accurate.

 

Also, even if I disallow some munitions, when I open the cas field menu, I can still ask CAS with them.

[dyrmoon 22]

Use this, works perfectly:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_fireSupportVirtual

It can be adjusted a lot.

 

mapclick = true;
onMapSingleClick "
[_pos,'Bo_GBU12_LGB',15 + (random 25),4 + (random 6),[1,2 + (Random 3)],{},nil,500,50,['mortar1','mortar2','shell1','shell2']] spawn BIS_fnc_fireSupportVirtual;
mapclick = false;
";
waitUntil{!(mapclick)};
onMapSingleClick "";

Not tested.

 

Edit: You must use this bomb class 'Sh_82mm_AMOS', then will be working

[Wiki 1558]

Just tested, not working.

 

Thx anyway

Looks nice.

But how does it work?

I put it on a script, called it, then clicked on the map but nothing happened.

[Wiki 1558]

Isn't there a way to have the custom ammunitions (such as napalm bomb) be available in the support module?

 

Cause for now, I know how to add custom planes to the support module, but not the custom ammunitions

[bcon117 12]

I do this all the time, it's pretty awesome. I've scripted my own JDAM, MOAB, B52 carpet bomb runs, all kinds of stuff. No external files or mods. It takes a bit of tweaking but what you get is worth it.

What you want to do is pick your type of plane and bomb. Say you want to drop a regular GBU12 from an A-10. Make him "careless" and set his speed. Have him "flyInHeight" at, say, 500. Do the "on map single click" script and have it place a trigger right on that spot:

 

openMap true; onMapSingleClick { YourTrigger setPos _pos; marker1 setMarkerPos _pos; onMapSingleClick ''; true};

 

Just create a target marker of whatever type and a trigger. Now comes the part where you have to tweak. In the trigger activation, you want to create a GBU12 right under the A10, so: 

 

 bomb1="Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle (getPos A10 vectorAdd [0,0,-5]); bomb1 setDir (getDir A10); 

 

Now when the A10 flies into his trigger, he will drop a bomb. The part you have to tweak is how big the trigger is so that the bomb falls directly on the spot you want (remember, the bomb doesn't fall straight down, it actually glides quite a ways). So make the trigger circular and I think maybe like 1000 in diameter to start. It should fall somewhere around your point, then just tweak it to your needs. 

Now, how do you get the A10 to fly exactly where you want? You give him a waypoint. Either create a waypoint for him on that "_pos" or you setWaypointPosition an existing "move" waypoint. Or, to save that "_pos" create an invisible water bottle and name it "bombpos", and have that "setPos" at that map click. That's what I do, and it works flawlessly. 

 

So your initial trigger is maybe a radio trigger. Name it something like "A-10 Bomb Strike." Sync it to a "show/hide" module for your plane, so he isn't flying around and completing waypoints. In the activation, put in something like this:  

openMap true; onMapSingleClick { YourTrigger setPos _pos; marker1 setMarkerPos _pos; bombpos setPos  _pos; [A10group, 1] setWaypointPosition [bombpos, 0]; onMapSingleClick ''; true};  He will now fly directly into your trigger and drop a bomb directly on your target.

 

I know this may seem derivative of the vanilla support modules, but the reason why i do this is because I don't just want a regular bombing run. You can evolve this script to do whatever you want. You can drop several bombs at several points all at once, use sound effects, particle effects, etc... 

 

EDIT: Here's a clip I just made of two examples I use in my missions. MOAB and Medevac. One single click and boom.
