Air attack by script

[Coladebote 46]

Hello guys:

I am working, creating on the map Staszow, Poland 1944 a CTI. German army against Soviet forces.
 
In each town there is a garrison of the red army that watches over it. When German forces attack that enclave. The Soviets ask for help on the radio and, within a few minutes, two IL2 planes appear.

 

if (!isServer) exitWith {}; 

//_crew1A1 = [];
//_airframe1 = [];

//if (isServer) then {

_crew1A1 = creategroup EAST;
_airframe1 = [getMarkerPos "marker_1A1", 45, "sab_il2", _crew1A1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
_pos = getMarkerPos "marker_1A1";
_pos set[ 2, 150 ];

sleep 10;
_airframe2 = [getMarkerPos "marker_1A1", 45, "sab_il2", _crew1A1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
_pos = getMarkerPos "marker_1A1";
_pos set[ 2, 150 ];

_wp1A1 = _crew1A1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "WP_1A1"), 1];
_wp1A1 setWaypointType "MOVE";
_wp1A1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
_wp1A1 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE";

_wp2A1 = _crew1A1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "WP_2A1"), 2];
_wp2A1 setWaypointType "SAD";
_wp2A1 setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED";
_wp2A1 setWaypointBehaviour "COMBAT";

};

 

This is the little script that handles air strikes. I publish it in case anyone is interested. It's nothing otherworldly, I know, it's very simple, but it works. It fulfills its role.

 

Three empty markers are used:
1.- marker_1A1 where the planes appear.
2.- WP_1A1 First waypoint (MOVE)
3.- WP_2A1 Second waypoint. Attack Point (SAD)

 

It's very easy, but if someone wants the demo mission, I can send it to them.

 

Happy new year, guys.

Nice. Just avoid naming _crew1A1 a group. It's not an error. Use something like _grp1A1 instead. Because one day, you'll mix group (a group) and crew (an array) in a longer script, and you could spend some times for understanding what you tried to do before.

I appreciate your clarification, I will implement it in the script. Thanks Pierre.

With Pierre's suggestion, the script is as follows:

 

if (!isServer) exitWith {}; 

//_grp1A1 = [];
//_airframe1 = [];

//if (isServer) then {

_grp1A1 = creategroup EAST;
_airframe1 = [getMarkerPos "marker_1A1", 45, "sab_il2", _grp1A1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
_pos = getMarkerPos "marker_1A1";
_pos set[ 2, 150 ];

sleep 10;
_airframe2 = [getMarkerPos "marker_1A1", 45, "sab_il2", _grp1A1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
_pos = getMarkerPos "marker_1A1";
_pos set[ 2, 150 ];

_wp1A1 = _grp1A1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "WP_1A1"), 1];
_wp1A1 setWaypointType "MOVE";
_wp1A1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
_wp1A1 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE";

_wp2A1 = _grp1A1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "WP_2A1"), 2];
_wp2A1 setWaypointType "SAD";
_wp2A1 setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED";
_wp2A1 setWaypointBehaviour "COMBAT";

};

Greetings from Spain and happy new year
