Additional options for artillery AI

[tony86 2]

Hello!

 

I create artillery unit, and I call it "gun1", then I create marker, and I call it "target1".

At last I create trigger:

 

In Act:

 

ammo1 = getArtilleryAmmo [gun1] select 0;

tgt = getMarkerPos "target1";

gun1 doArtilleryFire [tgt, ammo1, 10];

 

Everything works great, the artillery fires 10 rounds at the target.

However, I would like to add a few more options - For example - to fire 5 rounds, then pause for 10 seconds, and then another 5 rounds fired. What would I have to add to?

 

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!

[] spawn {

ammo1 = getArtilleryAmmo [gun1] select 0; 
tgt = getMarkerPos "target1"; 
gun1 doArtilleryFire [tgt, ammo1, 5];
sleep 5;
gun1 doArtilleryFire [tgt, ammo1, 5];

};

I would like to do this just in trigger. Unfortunately, your additional command line are not working and causing an error.

some more variety but not tested:
 

0 = [] spawn 
{
 private [ "_salvos", "_delay", "_rounds", "_ammo1", "_tgt" ];
  
 private _min_delay = 3;
 private _max_delay = 20;
 private _min_rounds = 2;
 private _max_rounds = 10;
 private _min_salvos = 1;
 private _max_salvos = 5;
  
 _salvos = round (_min_salvos + random (_max_salvos - _min_salvos));

 _ammo1 = getArtilleryAmmo [gun1] select 0; 
 _tgt = getMarkerPos "target1"; 

 for "_i" from 1 to _salvos do 
 {
  _delay = _min_delay + random (_max_delay - _min_delay);
  _rounds = round (_min_rounds + random (_max_rounds - _min_rounds));
   
  gun1 doArtilleryFire [_tgt, _ammo1, _rounds];

  sleep _delay;
 };
};

Could you enlighten me as to what that error is?  As I just took your code, wrapped it in a spawn so I could add a sleep to it.
