The new beginner is in town

Hello guys,

I am new in all of this and I was trying to create some scripts for missions I would like to make.

 

Basically I have this plane flying above an enemy area and I would like it to receive a hit from an AA missile and crashing.

So what I need is a script with a timer that makes a AA unit with a launcher to shot and hit the plane.

 

Would you be able to help me? Or suggesting me the right path to follow to do it?

As said, I am new and I am trying to understand how everything works 😛

 

Cheers.

Quick reply...
There are 2 BIS functions that spring to mind:

 

BIS_fnc_neutralizeUnit
BIS_fnc_EXP_camp_guidedProjectile

 

Both of these can be used in a trigger.

If i want to use this one, the sintax will be:

 

cursorTarget call BIS_fnc_neutralizeUnit;

 

That cursorTarget is the name of my unit?

And the call what means?

[Maff 251]

Yes.
So name your plane in the editor.
Let's call the plane: plane

Then in a trigger On Act field put:

plane call BIS_fnc_neutralizeUnit;

Call is the method of executing the function; BIS_fnc_neutralizeUnit.

 

 

I have never used BIS_fnc_EXP_camp_guidedProjectile but the following link has a bit more information and correct example.

Thanks Maff.  I didn't know about either of these functions.   I have probably hardcoded a dozen of my own "guidedProjectile" code snippets to move objects...and could have used this one call!!!

I  love this, while I'm testing something else I can stop and watch "Bill" be killed over and over cause I have him in a trigger with his name on it.
