six6six 0 Posted January 20, 2008 Is there any way I could get the AC130 addon to do a left hand circle around a target firing? I would do it myself, but I have no idea where to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artak 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Guiding airplanes in OFP has always been a pain in the butt. To get a plane circling AND to a specific direction AND around a specific unit (AND firing at the same time too maybe?).. that sounds a bit too much. In any case, I don't think it can be done within the editor, you may very well have to resort to external scripting, as in a sqs file. It's been a long time since I've last written a line of code for OFP, but here goes nothing. You need to place your plane and name it in the editor. Then place the target unit and name that one too. Next create this script file: planesupress.sqs ---------------- _plane = _this select 0 _target = _this select 1 #loop _plane domove [(getpos _target select 0)-400, (getpos _target select 1)] @ unitready _plane || !alive _plane ?!alive _plane: exit _plane domove [(getpos _target select 0), (getpos _target select 1)-400] @ unitready _plane || !alive _plane ?!alive _plane: exit _plane domove [(getpos _target select 0)+400, (getpos _target select 1)] @ unitready _plane || !alive _plane ?!alive _plane: exit _plane domove [(getpos _target select 0), (getpos _target select 1)+400] @ unitready _plane || !alive _plane ?!alive _plane: exit goto "loop" You can try it out by executing it from a triggers init line or some place like that. The exec line should state something like this: [planename, targetname] exec "planesupress.sqs" The above will probably need some tweaking (or a lot) and there are more scientific was of calculating the circle, but if the above does it then it'll do.

mr.peanut 1 Posted January 27, 2008 General Barron wrote a script that did this but it is M.I.A. If anyone has it could they please let me know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
