Make A-10 fire with selected weapon

[Steaksauce1337 0]

Any way to make the A-10 fire with just the gun or rockets? I have not been able to find a classname for the GAU.. maybe am just not looking hard enough

[Fortran 1]

weapons

"GAU8"

"SidewinderLaucher_AH1Z"

"MaverickLauncher"

"BombLauncherA10"

"FFARLauncher_14"

magazines

"1350Rnd_30mmAP_A10"

"2Rnd_Sidewinder_AH1Z"

"2Rnd_Maverick_A10"

"4Rnd_GBU12"

"14Rnd_FFAR"

a-10 fire "magazinename"

i suggest not using the fire command.. and btw you dont fire magazine name.. you fire selected weapon. :)

the fire command has a tend to not fire some weapons "this was the case in ArmA 1"

anyway here is the correct way to force fire of A-10 weapon(s)

Name of plane is A10:

A10 action ["useWeapon",vehicle A10,driver vehicle A10,0]

the last zero is weapon selection.. if you put 1 in there you will get weapon nr 2 on the plane :)

if you want to use the fire command and for example only want rockets fired in a intro or whatever. you need to switch the weapon

A10 action ["SWITCHWEAPON", vehicle A10, vehicle A10, 1];
A10 fire "SidewinderLaucher_AH1Z";

or

A10 selectWeapon "SidewinderLaucher_AH1Z";
A10 fire "SidewinderLaucher_AH1Z";

hope this helps..

I can get the A10 to fire the GAU, but it only fires one round, bit pointless, how can i get it to fire a long burst?

[nuxil 2]

a simple loop ? or set the mode on the fire command; fire [weapon, mode] ?

If you're trying to get him to ATTACK something, just remove his other weapons. Otherwise trying to force him to shoot's gonna be messy.

Try this:

A10 selectWeapon "GAU8";

A10 fire "GAU8";
