Fire support kill score problem

[Tory Xiao 5]

Im editing my own bulwark defending mission, but all fire support won't add score to the caller so these expensive supports became totally unaffordable. How do I add fire support kills to the caller? Thanks for answering!

I guess you cant add kills to a player by script but you could add score:

You would need to apply a killed EH on all units which could get killed by your fire supporters:

If the supporters killed the specific unit then you could add points to the caller player.

How are you calling the fire support? If it's totally by script I can vaguely think of ways of carrying the caller reference as arguments all the way to the projectile to attribute credit to him.

It would involve a "FiredMan" Event Handler on the fire support gunner, a temporary global variable and setShotParents. If it's a multiplayer mission it should execute server-side.

fn_Cluster.sqf:

_player = _this select 0;
_targetPos = _this select 1;

if (count _targetPos == 0) then {
  [player, "Cluster"] call BIS_fnc_addCommMenuItem;
}else{
  _smoker = "SmokeShellGreen" createVehicle [_targetPos select 0, _targetPos select 1, 10];
  _smoker setVelocity [0,0,-100];
  _smoker setVectorDirandUp [[0,0,-1],[0.1,0.1,1]];
  sleep 4;
  _shell = "BombCluster_02_Ammo_F" createvehicle [_targetPos select 0, _targetPos select 1, 500];
  _shell setVelocity [0,0,-50];
  _shell setVectorDirandUp [[0,0,-1],[0.1,0.1,1]];
  [_shell, ["mortar2", 600, 1]] remoteExec ["say3D", 0];
};

It spawns a cluster bomb on top of the target, but the kills doesn't belong to the caller

As @NunesSergio stated try setShotParents on your _shell object right after creating it.
