Artillery script

[skickahit10 0]

(I know this is no addon, but I think this post belongs here anyways)

Finally - after some hard work my kick-ass artillery script is ready!!

This is no bullshit where shells will appear out of nowhere, this is the actual guns (M119s) in ArmA aiming and firing their weapons. All you have to do is click on the map and you'll have artillery shells raining down there within a minute or so!

Download from: here.

Then extract to \My Documents\ArmA\missions\

A complete walk through (read it before using the script) can be found here (included in the zip-file as well)

I previously stated that the script required an addon by Mapfacts. I updated the script though so now no 3rd-party-addons are needed.

I'm very proud of it - try it out and let me know what you think!

skickahit10: anyway of making it working without that awful MAPFACT addon? It has bunch of stuff in there and our team is not using it because of that...

"Artillery script, My artillery script"

Notice the Bold, So why in the world would it belong in the addons fourm.?

Why dont people use the Editing Fourm specificlly for scripts???

I may as well post all my Scripts/Script Questions in this part of the fourm too everyone else seems too   and gets away with it.

Edit: Nice Script BTW

Matt Rochelle, some people don't spend much time on these forums. No point being sarcastic.

This is one of the most useful scripts I have seen on this forum, well done skickahit10.

[mattxr 9]

Because as far as I could see there is no "editing forum" (or am I blind?).

There's a forum for user missions, but I believe this script has more of a addon-touch to it.

There used to be a script section (if I don't remember wrong) but I can't find it anymore - and as you pointed out in the sticky - it seems to have been removed.

It's nice to hear that you like the script though

Thanks for the support

I prefer using "Real Artillery" addon (2 small pbos). Real cannons and spotters can be used.

well, the cannons are very real in my script.

as for the spotters you could always turn off the auto-correction (by changing the number of times the guns may fire to 1) and then do the correction yourself. not the same thing though - I know.

Thanks for the feedback anyways.

The documentation is superb as well, that is very rare.

For future reference

Editors Section

[Maddmatt 1]

There used to be a script section (if I don't remember wrong) but I can't find it anymore - and as you pointed out in the sticky - it seems to have been removed....

Look here, notice the "ADDON/MOD & MISSION MAKING" part near the bottom with an "ARMA EDITING" section

Anyway cool script. But there might be a problem with very long range targets because the shells get deleted after (I think) 25 seconds. It's a setting in the config that could be changed with an addon. I don't know if you've already found a way to deal with that, haven't had a chance to look at the script myself.

Edit: The editing section was moved there a while ago and it has confused quite a few people, don't worry you're not the first

yep someone alerted me about that part of the forum, but what's done's done. I suppose a moderator will have to move the thread even though I think it's doing good here

concerning the range limit - I know about the time limit. furthermore: the force of drag in ArmA wouldn't allow the shell to fly much further than 5-6 km anyways.

all of these issues are dealt with in the documentation to the script.

but - try the script anyways. it kicks pretty much ass

[dmarkwick 261]

Don't feel bad skickahit10, my addon is almost entirely script but PBO it and suddenly it's an addon I think it's fine here. I would say it belongs here more than the script forum to be honest, as that is down in "editing" and this is a finished usable script

Just thought I'd drop in and say to everyone except skickahit10 "Consult my sig." lol there's a reason for that.

Great script.

ok, but your script, as far as I can see, just takes a shell and artificially puts it on a chosen point on the map together with a shell of a larger caliber?

You can change it into the script if you want.

Anyway... if I got a little bit more time, I´ll modify it a little bit
