Arma 3 Creator DLC: Expeditionary Forces

Recommended Posts

Not sure what else I can do to explain further, nor what you need.

EF_fnc_antiDroneRadar and EF_fnc_airburst are the functions to do it.

I am asking for details about how the functions work, ie what they do internally, not the names of the functions

Then please read the functions.

Basically radar is done by detecting near air units and report into the radar. Airburst is done by doing some math each frame to detect if they gets closer than the certain range and detonate the bullet.

Where can I do that?

Is there documentation like for the BIS functions:

Currently still on holiday w/family and don't have access to arma 3

Nearby as a fixed range? Or as a function of the radar it's reporting to? Ie will drone detection range be the same if applied to the radar nyx with it's 8km radar?

So then blast damage and blast range is determined in the ammo config, and not fixed by the script?

 

There's no way to vary the proximity that it detonates?

If I made a 105mm flak gun with a huge HE blast, it would still need to get just as close to trigger the detonation?

It is defined in the config of the ammo class. You can change it. Haven't tried.

That's for missiles, does the function look at that?

Something with RF_ prefix. 

You mean EF, I guess RF is for the 2nd 2035 cdlc

EF_AirburstDistance = 10;

For EF 30mm HEAB

10m seems excessive 

Seems to be based on this:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AHEAD_ammunition

Which actually has a tiny explosive charge, and instead makes the round detonate before reaching the target to achieve a shotgun blast like effect - I don't think aiming 9m to the left or right of a hovering drones should yield a kill.

 

Ah well, I guess I will try to make a mod for that next week
