Blackfish/AC-130 Script??

[interectic 8]

Anyone know of a script that allows you to lase targets for an AI controlled gunship overhead to fire at? I have a decent script made but for some reason some of the guns wont fire or miss the target completely. Any suggestions and help is welcome.

I remember I tried to do something for that, years ago. Not sure I found a solution, just adding some immersive fires, but poor success.
I added this kind of code:

if (!isNull (_gunship findNearestEnemy _pos)) then {
  gunner _gunship lookAt (_gunship findNearestEnemy _pos);
  group _gunship reveal [(_gunship findNearestEnemy _pos),4];
  _gunship doWatch (_gunship findNearestEnemy _pos);
  gunner _gunship doTarget (_gunship findNearestEnemy _pos);
  if (_gunship aimedAtTarget [(_gunship findNearestEnemy _pos)] > 0) then {
    _gunship fireAtTarget [(_gunship findNearestEnemy _pos)]};
    };
};

You can spawn a laser target, but not sure that will help for precision.

see:

That works also for AIs, and:

laserTarget

 

Hope someone has better way for this aim!

Okay nice.

This is what I got and only one gun can actually hit the target.

 

_laser = laserTarget player;
_wPos = _laser;
selPos = createVehicle ["Sign_Arrow_Blue_F", _wPos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_target = selPos;

sleep 1;

spotter doTarget _target;
gunship doTarget _target;
gunshipG doWatch _target;

[spotter, "Laserdesignator_mounted"] call BIS_fnc_fire;

sleep 4;

[gunship, "cannon_105mm_VTOL_01"] call BIS_fnc_fire;
sleep 1;
[gunship, "autocannon_40mm_VTOL_01"] call BIS_fnc_fire;
sleep 0.5;
[gunship, "autocannon_40mm_VTOL_01"] call BIS_fnc_fire;
sleep 0.5;
[gunship, "gatling_20mm_VTOL_01"] call BIS_fnc_fire;

I'm afraid you can't do anything for precision, except modding another aircraft...

or struggling with the relative position of laser target if attached on a vehicle or anything...

or working around a fake impact/explosion as soon as a shell/bullet hit the ground (deflection) (see projectile event handlers)

I found a solution. Not perfect but it works for my usage. Basically have a blackfish loiter around area and put a fired event handler to when it fires the projectile is deleted so the script can pawn the projectile.

 

_laser = laserTarget player;
_wPos = _laser;
selPos = createVehicle ["Sign_Arrow_Blue_F", _wPos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_target = selPos;

_target = [[[position selPos, 10]], []] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;

sleep 0.1;

[gunship, "cannon_105mm_VTOL_01", [1]] call BIS_fnc_fire;
_bomb1="Sh_105mm_HEAT_MP" createVehicle ([_target select 0, _target select 1, 800]);

_bomb1 setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,-1], [0,1,0]];
_bomb1 setVelocity [0, 0, -60];

sleep 2;

_target = [[[position selPos, 10]], []] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;

[gunship, "autocannon_40mm_VTOL_01"] call BIS_fnc_fire;
_bomb2="B_40mm_GPR_Tracer_Red" createVehicle ([_target select 0, _target select 1, 800]);

_bomb2 setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,-1], [0,1,0]];
_bomb2 setVelocity [0, 0, -60];

sleep 0.5;

_target = [[[position selPos, 10]], []] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;

[gunship, "autocannon_40mm_VTOL_01"] call BIS_fnc_fire;
_bomb2="B_40mm_GPR_Tracer_Red" createVehicle ([_target select 0, _target select 1, 800]);

_bomb2 setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,-1], [0,1,0]];
_bomb2 setVelocity [0, 0, -60];

sleep 0.5;

_target = [[[position selPos, 10]], []] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;

[gunship, "autocannon_40mm_VTOL_01"] call BIS_fnc_fire;
_bomb2="B_40mm_GPR_Tracer_Red" createVehicle ([_target select 0, _target select 1, 800]);

_bomb2 setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,-1], [0,1,0]];
_bomb2 setVelocity [0, 0, -60];

sleep 9;

_target = [[[position selPos, 10]], []] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
