BM-21 MLRS Fired by AI scripting

[Maguila.gm 0]

I am currently working on a mission that uses AI scripting to provide support. In this mission, when tou call radio alpha, the artillery strike begins. 

The support group providing fire are coposed by 3 BM-21MLRS tht will fire at 3 separetly targets, in order to acheive that i've created 3 flies for each vehicle using the following script:

[] spawn { while {alive gun_1G} do { sleep 5; _ammo = getArtilleryAmmo [gun_1] select 0; 
_tgt = getMarkerPos "arty1";
gun_1 doArtilleryFire[_tgt,_ammo,1];}} 

Where wilhe the gunner is alive, it will fire, in practice, it will fire until the ammo is depleted. The problem is, for each rocket launched it retracts the pod, wait 5 sec, aims again and fires. I want to make it to aim once an fire all the 40 rockets as fast as possible. For that i've tried to put the loop after the aiming command:

[] spawn {
    sleep 5;
    _ammo = getArtilleryAmmo gun_3 select 0;
    _tgt = getMarkerPos "arty3";

    
    while {alive gun_3G} do {
        gun_3 doArtilleryFire [_tgt, _ammo, 1];

        // Small interval between while it recharges
        sleep 1;
    }
    
};

however im getting all sorts of error messages.

_arty = arty;
_target = a1;
 
_artyAmmo = getArtilleryAmmo [_arty] select 0;
_artyETA = _arty getArtilleryETA [getPosATL _target, _artyAmmo];
_inRange = (getPosATL _target) inRangeOfArtillery [[_arty], _artyAmmo];
systemchat format ["In range: %1",_inRange];
 
if (_artyETA > 0 AND _inRange) then {
 
systemchat "Cleared to fire!";
systemchat format ["Impact ETA: %1s",_artyETA];
_arty commandArtilleryFire [getPosATL _target, _artyAmmo, 40];
 
};

i am still getting an error.

13:38:13 Error in expression <LRS\drop3.sqf"
_arty = arty; 
_target = a1; 

_artyAmmo = getArtilleryAmmo [_art>
13:38:13   Error position: <a1; 

_artyAmmo = getArtilleryAmmo [_art>
13:38:13   Error Variável indefinida na expressão: a1
13:38:13 File c:\users\magui\onedrive\documentos\arma 3\mpmissions\[eap]vá_e_veja_v3.chernarus_2035\MLRS\drop3.sqf..., line 2

It says "error undifined variable at expression a1"

For some reason, Junior Prado has used different variables in his code. you need to edit it to use yours.

i changed the name of the target and luncher to match those of junior prado's code

 

[Harzach 2507]

If your target is a marker as it was in your original code, you must reference it with quotation marks.

_arty = arty;
_target = "a1";

All you need to do is give the artillery a Fire Mission waypoint.

_wp1 = gun_1 addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "arty1", 0];  
_wp1 setWaypointType "SCRIPTED";
_wp1 setWaypointScript "A3\functions_f\waypoints\fn_wpArtillery.sqf";

gun_1 will target and fire on "arty1" until all ammunition is depleted. It will fire at its maximum fire rate.

i corrected doing this

_arty = arty; 
_targetMarker = "a1";  // Substitua "a1" pelo nome do seu marcador 
 
// Obtém as coordenadas do marcador 
_targetPos = getMarkerPos _targetMarker; 
 
if (isNil "_targetPos") then { 
    // Lida com o caso em que o marcador não é encontrado 
    systemchat format ["Marker '%1' não encontrado!", _targetMarker]; 
} else { 
    _artyAmmo = getArtilleryAmmo [_arty] select 0; 
    _artyETA = _arty getArtilleryETA [_targetPos, _artyAmmo]; 
    _inRange = _targetPos inRangeOfArtillery [[_arty], _artyAmmo]; 
    systemchat format ["In range: %1", _inRange]; 
 
    if (_artyETA > 0 && _inRange) then { 
        systemchat "Cleared to fire!"; 
        systemchat format ["Impact ETA: %1s", _artyETA]; 
        _arty commandArtilleryFire [_targetPos, _artyAmmo, 40]; 
    }; 
}

If you want the extra checks/systemChat info:

_arty = gun_1; 
_target = "arty1"; 
_pos = getMarkerPos [_target, true]; 

if (isNil "_pos") then { 
    systemchat format ["Marker '%1' não encontrado!", _target]; 
} else { 
	_mag = currentMagazine _arty; 
	_inRange = _pos inRangeOfArtillery [[_arty], _mag]; 
	_artyETA = ceil (_arty getArtilleryETA [_pos, _mag]); 
	systemchat format ["In range: %1", _inRange]; 

	if (_artyETA > 0 && _inRange) then { 
		systemchat 'Cleared to fire!';  
		systemchat format ['Impact ETA: %1s', _artyETA];
				
		_wp1 = group _arty addWaypoint [_pos, 0];  
		_wp1 setWaypointType "SCRIPTED";
		_wp1 setWaypointScript "A3\functions_f\waypoints\fn_wpArtillery.sqf";
	};
};

But then we're writing just as much code, so it's up to your preference.
