I will try to work on that primarily it's just for forward observer

I tried to make the different ranges ran into a problem because it relys on mapclick the new way I implemented should work great because you see the blue marker where the shell actually are now ...... it was a compromise  

Thanks for the input guys I play alot of single player so this was the best way I could implement it for now,

   

Thanks,

Good News Everyone

Sander at lowlands has given permission to release the L16A2 Mortar    I'll be including it in my next update

just a question for you guys I have no mortars for SLA should I just make it where both armies use the same mortars? after all SLA is using older equipment and the L16A2 was introduced in 1966 roughly. I don't know anyone else that has released another mortar for arma.

Sincerely,

 Viper

It's cool with me. It's just a game so both having the same system is fine with me. It would just be nice to have something for the OPFOR to use. What would really rock is if you could get this working with OFrP's mortars as well. That may be tough though since they only seem to work for their stuff.

I'm having fun with this AddOns btw. Thanks for the fun.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks,

  Viper

P.S.

I forgot to mention the example mission to use a different unit just change the calls and remove to the correct unit

ie..this exec /vip_m119if/scripts/remove.sqs

Have any problems let me know I had to rework the scripts

to make it work this way for triggers ect...

Hey there good job on the improvements! I love the new markers showing where the impact points are. I have a modified version where everything initializes at the start of the mission, only problem with this is i dont have control over limiting the types and number of salvos(no real biggie though), what id like to do is have it so i have magazines for the different type of warheads and just remove as necessary.

A couple of small requests/questions is it possible to make the firing unit call "Splash" a second or so before the first impact? And can you set up a Spotting Rounds? So the leader of the Arty unit fires a round and the FO can then make any adjustments before calling in the real strike? I dont care if we can't make small adjustments and have to re-plot the whole lot, its better than wasting a salvo on thin air any way great job so far! Keep up the good work

Hi Snoops,

It will probably be a few days before I can work on this agian

I'll work on the spot round I tried to implement it awhile back and got frustrated with it because no matter what all units fired thats why I worked on improving the accuracy of it right now I just use 1 salvo for the spot round till I can figure a way around it and just to let you know the dcimp,heab,smoke and illumination are scripted rounds only way to make them work, the effects or rounds switch out the HE round at the last second so it arrives basically the same place +/- maybe 5 meters because of the angles of the shots. if you look at the config you'l see how I did it.

To anyone playing with this addon

1. how are the mortars doing any problems with ver 1.21?

2. any glitches/bugs with ver 1.21?

3. any suggestions on improvements?

Thanks snoops_213 and everyone else playing this addon I've revisted this because of my interest in artillery and arma's lack of I hope you guys enjoyed the mortars and howitzers as much as I have.

P.S. Snoop I'll work on the splash it should be pretty easy just a few lines of code

Sincerely,

Hi Everyone,

Just to keep everyone informed Snoop is helping me update the arty to use XEH so there will be no need to use [this,25,1,1,1,1,1] exec anymore it will probably take a few days to update this so be on the lookout for the new version in the coming days the units will default to this but I already have a solution for this to change the rounds and types only using a trigger with a 3 sec delay a new template will be released with the addon trigger info will look like this

blue present,countdown=3sec

"M119_Rounds=25;M119_HE=1;M119_HEAB=1;M119_DPiCM=1;M119_SMOKE=1;M119_Ill=1";

basically just like the old one but you don't need this for it to work only to modify the settings 1=true,0=false

Also the unit leader will call "Splash,Over" around 5 seconds before the first round

Thanks,

Viper

HI Everyone,

I should be updating tomorrow I have dmviewblocker now working on the smoke the smoke is roughly 15-20 meters by 100 meters now also you'll only be able to call 1 smoke mission at a time it takes away the option till the mission is done a forces you to pick a new round reason being I had to make the viewblockers appear via createvehicle and they would not remove themselves via deletevehicle command more than once and would leave the rest there

now they all clean up after the scripts run

Sincerely,

I can't play the Demo mission due to deleted content called Zabrak? I'm gonna try to just remove that from the mission.sqm and give it a try. But I'm just curious, what AddOns is this from? I recall I had it at one point but I can't remember which one that file belongs to.

Hi Manzilla,

I'm not sure always shows it in mine I thought it was a default addon only thing I placed was the units and triggers
