calling an airstrike and supply drop

[Staker 10]

got a question about airstrike

I want to call an airstrike via radio,I tried to do it similar to extraction chopper but it didn't work...

another thing is supply drop,I just want the chopper to drop ammo and stuff not freaking HUMVEE..is it possible?

another small question is how tell a unit to crouch?(i tried "down" but it's prone)

I think this is the correct thread for airstrike and Supply drop set up. I think there may be a few example missions posted in this thread as well but I can't remember precisely. There's some good explanations of various SecOps functions by a developer as well. Very informative thread:

For crouch, is it "KNEEL"? I'm not sure why I can't remember it at this moment. I'll have to search some of my missions for the answer, I know I've used it in the past.

EDIT:

Ahhh I believe it's "MIDDLE". Check this BIKI page:

And here's a good thread with some other info.(Check the post by SNKMAN)

I hope this helps.

There's been tons of threads about how to do supply drops, did you not search? :confused:

Since you're not really into the effort of searching, I'm not sure you're into the effort of scripting a fully functional supply drop, so just use this example I gave in an earlier thread:

Place your unit, place the functions module, place a Radio Alpha trigger with the following code in it's On Act, preview and drop.

dropSupplyPoint = getPosATL player;
player setPosATL [dropSupplyPoint select 0, dropSupplyPoint select 1, 150];
[player, "reammobox"] call BIS_fnc_supplydrop;
player setPosATL dropSupplyPoint;

Click a button, get ammo.

well it wroks thanks but it's unrealistic

I click a button and there's ammo droping from the sky,I want it to be realistic,that a chopper or C-130 will drop it

[kylania 568]

If you want realistic, put forth the effort to search for the many threads that have already been posted about this topic then. :)

I found threads about that but all scripts included HUMVEE

I just want ammo that's all

How do you make the soldiers kneel?

hey guys, little tip; when someone is asking about scripts like that, they probably have no freaking idea what all that crap says... NO IDEA!?! So instead of making them feel like idiots, why dont you explain... I have searched the threads too, and i have found scriptsm but NONE of them explain anything barney style... He needs step by step... is that hard? If you know how to do it, and are being a dick about it, then y are you posting on these forums??? Isnt that what these forums are here for?!?
