Mortar or artillery wont fire

[csparks23 0]

Hello, I am trying to make certain AI mortars fire upon a marker when a trigger is activated.  I'm using

 

unitname doArtilleryFire [getmarkerpos"markername", "8Rnd_82mm_Mo_shells", 8];

 

and when the trigger is activated they will turn and face the target and then the mortar just kind of bobs.  Goes from like 80 degree angle to 60 degree angle over and over never firing.  I know zero about scripting but i know i have everything named properly.

Check if mortar in range of target. try this condition

if ((getMarkerPos "markerName") inRangeOfArtillery [[mortarName], "8Rnd_82mm_Mo_shells"]) then 
{
	hint "fire";
}
else 
{
	hint "out of range";
}
