ac-130 gunship target spoting

[rjtwins 10]

Hello arma modders

i,m a bit new to modding and made a ac-130 gunship using the atach to

see :

AC-130J gunship

1st from back : m119

this attachto [gunship,[3,-5,-5]]; this setdir 90; deleteCollection this

2nd from back : spg 9

this attachto [gunship,[3,-3,-5]]; this setdir 90; deleteCollection this

2nd from front : spg9

this attachto [gunship,[3,-1,-5]]; this setdir 90; deleteCollection this

1st from front : Su 23 (ajusted by myself so it realy shoots ad these hight,)

this attachto [gunship,[4,3,-5]]; this setdir 9

all the guns fire at all kinds of targets.

for the su 23 ajustment, i chanced the range and burst amount a bit so the AI fires.

i incountered only one problem i cannot solve, the ac-130 fly's at 700m and can't see it's targets so it won't fire at anything.

it will only fire when a team member on the ground spots the targets, how to solve this ??

i want to use it in a costum mission so the ac can be called for support.

Try this,

put a trigger over the zone you want you're ac130 to attack,

condition. : True

On act.{gunner1 reveal _x}foreach units thislist;{gunner2 reveal _x}foreach units thislist;...

[rjtwins 10]

for the x needs to be a coordenated (i think) (can you give an example please)

Maybe if you use this..

this flyinheight 500

[rjtwins 10]

maby but i want it to fly realy high like the real ac130, it would be a bit unrealistic if it would fly at just 500 ft.

i already use that code to let it fly at 650.

i,m also need a 40/50 mm gun, if anyone has an addon i can use.

it will replace the spg9.

[redrumNL 10]

Oke, i thought you just want to fly lower so you can see the targets.

But you want to fly skyhigh and still see the targets?

U use FLIR function camera sight? maybe then you see enemy better..

Just wanna help you make it work :P

I luv to see working AC130 gunship in arma 2..

[rjtwins 10]

tanks but that was not the problem, I can see the tagets but the ai only recognizez them as unkown man.

the gunship is flown by IA.

btw : is there any way to add a scope to a static defence opject ??

via script/ config or ini ??

MK19 or AGS30 probably works better as a Bofors substitute.

[rjtwins 10]

yes but they only fire a single round at there taget, I WANT DEATH AND DESTRUCTIN.

i already soved this thought, made a copy of the m119 and gave it 40mm shels withe fire burst of 10 a time.

same wihte the su 23 only then in burst of 25.

[rjtwins 10]

this is what is the end result :

code:

AC-130J gunship

1st from back : m119 40mm (copied and then modiefied so it fires in burst of 10)

this attachto [gunship,[0,-3,-7]]; this setdir 90; deleteCollection this

2nd from back : m119 40mm (copied and then modiefied so it fires in burst of 10)

this attachto [gunship,[0,0,-7]]; this setdir 90; deleteCollection this

2nd from front : m119

this attachto [gunship,[0,3,-7]]; this setdir 90; deleteCollection this

1st from front : Su 23 (ajusted by myself so it realy shoots ad these hight and so it fires burst of 25)

this attachto [gunship,[0,7,-7]]; this setdir 90; deleteCollection this

i used a AI player as spotter withe a join trigger

to make the AI teamember to be ingnored "invisible" by other enemy AI

code:

deletecollection this; this setcaptive true; removeallweapons this

:Dtanks to all who have posted on thes thread.:D

ArmA shows altitude in meters so a value of 500 is abit over 1500ft.

[rjtwins 10]

I woud realy like to release somethink but in fack i have just started the mission, i,m not even done tweeking the weapon config.

For example whem the 40 mm fires it sometime hits the wing of the aircraft.

first : and i need some help on how to copy weapons from the weapons.pbo (already extracted ajsuted repacked) and :confused:make a new one :confused:so i don't have to post the whole weapons.bpo (wich is a bit messed up because i ajust everything the hole time :D:D).

second : does enyone have experience withe the join/ join and lead command, and i do not just mean wat you can find on the wike.

i have created a spotter but he has to be killed when a trigger is completed, at that same trigger another spotter must be added to the groep of witch to ac130 is a member and new waypoints must be added at the same time.

if this is posible please explain cafuly i,m not that gived scripter.

about the mission :

i plan to use it for an array of deferend mission, now woking on an all out assault on an russian occupied chenauruss.

i needed tha ac just to create some firework and totaly mess up some armored units.
