Mando Missile ArmA for ArmA 2

[xeno426 10]

Mando, in your array of laser designators in mando_missileinit, you've left out the RAH-66 one.

modem_dkmm_rah66_laser

Also, could I request that Mando be made compatible with this mod, if it is at all possible?

It makes weapons like the ATGM on the T90 a magazine of the main gun rather than a weapon of its own, preventing people from using the missile and main cannon in quick succession.

gah! It's supposed to be "array" not "arrow" derp!

Hey guys,

I'm making a mission, part of which includes Grad missiles being fired on an airfield from a BM-21.

I have a FIRED eventhanlder activating a siren when the missiles are launched.

What I wanna do is create an MLRS, acting as Iron Dome, so the GRADs can be intercepted.

I merged in the SCUD vs Patriot demo mission by Mando but the Grads are not being detected as targets.

So I want the AI Mando Missile Launchers to detect the GRADs.

And I need someone please to explain (preferably in detail) how this can be implemented.

BTW, the Grads are plain vanilla, nothing to do with Mando - is that my problem?

Ok, waiting for your words of wisdom.

P.S.

You can download the mission from this link.

Thanks!!!

Evil_Brownie, if you mean SARH missiles, you cannot evade them with MMA flares/chaff, you need to activate your ECM.

Serpentras, I will have a look at the offset above target position set for the AT-10.

Xeno426, I will add that laser ASAP, as well as verified config for your new chopper. About using mags instead of weapons, it would be doable, but changing many many things. MMA is all weapon-driven, except for virtual launchers, and current magz loaded for a particular weapon are supposed to be these for the weapon and not others. I cannot promisse I'll have time for these modifications.

arye_r, in order to intercept SCUDS you need to fire a real scud. Current OA launcher doesnt fire anything, it is just an animation. But with MMA you can make these launchers to fire interceptable missiles, read the instructions here.

if (local my_scud2) then
{
  [my_scud2, 2, getMarkerPos "mk_target"]execVM"mando_missiles\units\mando_ai_scud.sqf";
};

Mando, thanks, what I really needed though was for you to explain

how to intercept GRADs which are being fired from a BM-21.

To make things perfectly clear -

A vanilla BM-21 fires GRADs, and MM MLRS intercepts them.

Is that doable?

Thanks again mate :)

[mandoble 1]

ah, sorry, the grad is an small rocket not interceptable unless you transform it into a mando missile (default shells cannot be damaged), and even if you do, it is probably too fast and small to be intercepted in time by another missile. A mando gun would be able to catch it, but again, if transformed into a mando missile, else it will not be destroyed.

To transform into a mando missile, catch the shell with your fired EH, remove it and place a detectable (interceptable) mando one in its place.

// _mis = the fired round (before removing it) catched with Fired EH
// _launcher = the vehicle firing the round catched with Fired EH

if (!local _mis) exitWith {};

_speedini = (speed _mis)/3.6;
_pos = _launcher worldToModel (getPos _mis);
_dir = getDir _mis;
_vangle = asin (vectorDir _mis select 2) - asin(vectorDir _launcher select 2);
_target = "Logic" createVehicleLocal (TARGET POSITION HERE);

I've been working on a air support console setup for east forces (Russian).

All things seem to be working as I would like them with the exception that Combat Patrol (CP). Gunship (GS) and Laser Designated (LA) missions become confused and fail to attack the emeny side (west) and in most cases (CP) attack friendly (east) forces.

I've gone through Mando's Readme and note that it's clear that;

Setup mando_support_enemy_sides global array to indicate which are the enemy sides for the attacking gunships / intercepting planes / laser designated mission aircraft.

Problem that I have is I cannot find a working example of this. I do not know what the syntax is, I do not know where this goes - ie. in the my_console_setup or the init?

If someone could clearly advise what the syntax is to set these aircraft to attack west forces and could provide a clear example I would really appreciate it.

I've included my current my_console_setup below;

[mandoble 1]

Theopolus, units spawned from console takes the side of the console user, unless you want to redefine that with these globals. For these units to be able to engage, you need to initialize MMA in the mission.

[theopolus 69]

Thanks for the reply Mando, that certainly cleared that up and now, with the addition of the MMA Init, things are working perfectly.

Thanks again.

[commanderjbug 10]

hey, for some reason when I place the mma init gamelogic it doesn't do anything, can it be fixed?

[mandoble 1]

MMA INIT just initializes mando missiles's engine, add the other GLs if you want to add automatically MMA systems for the planes, vehicles and choppers.

[JuggernautOfWar 1]

In my server on Evolution Mando Missiles appears to work fine until I launch a missile. It tracks as it should using Mando, but causes no damage on target. Bug?

Hmm is this compatible with the most recent ArmA II CO beta patches and Zeus AI?

Edited October 24, 2011 by JuggernautOfWar

[mandoble 1]

Two betas ago there was a bug that causes createdVehicle missiles to be harmless, this was fixed for the latest betas (at least the previous one). I hope the bug is not back again.

[[kh]jman 49]

Mandoble, I'm using the latest addon version of mma & mma_xeh in conjunction with the latest ACE version and Arma 2 beta version 1.59.85598.

All connecting players get a clientside script error when the mission starts. mma appears to function normally however. The serverside rpt does not report any errors. The clientside error follows:

Error in expression <logic" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];
_log setPos _pos;
_log setVariable ["mando_il>
 Error position: <setPos _pos;
_log setVariable ["mando_il>
 Error 4 elements provided, 3 expected
File mando_missiles\mando_missileinit.sqf, line 442

[mandoble 1]

That seems to be part of the code that automatically fills up the array of potential ILS destinations to be used by MMA NAV system. In which island are you playing? Does it have at least one main runway?

[[kh]jman 49]

The mission is on Sahrani (CAA1).

[mandoble 1]

It seems that island has wrongly configured the "ilsPosition" property. Are you using script suite for the mission?

[[kh]jman 49]

I'm using the addon version not the script version but if you have a script fix I could move the mission over to the script suite.

Edited October 25, 2011 by [KH]Jman

[mandoble 1]

You can keep using the addon, but instead of initializing MMA with the GL, do it from init.sqf. Copy mando_missileinit.sqf into your mission's folder and execute it from init.sqf (and remove the init GL from the map, you can leave there the init full GL).

Now open that mando_missileinit.sqf, move to line 439 and comment the line:

_pos = _pos + [0];

And try, anyway you can add there some hints in that block of code and run the mission from the editor (it should have the same result as when run from a client).

[[kh]jman 49]

Lovely thank you I willl give it a go and report back.

[[kh]jman 49]

Great, tested and working thanks again.

[syphonix 10]

Are GLT + Missilebox and Mando cross-compatible?

Are there any issues with mixing them up?

[mandoble 1]

Syphonix, both are fully compatible. In fact, many MMA rearming options and setups have been aready included for GLT missiles.

[mandoble 1]

MMA Addon Test version including:

- Flares fix (they might not be effective against missiles comming from quite below or above).

- R. CTRL + ARROWS: Allows fine adjustment of the HUD's cross for systems working in GROUND mode.

- New NLAW interface

- Ch29 endurance increased

- Xeno's TGW RAH-66 Commanche MMA systems added

[ThreeProphets 10]

Hey, do you have any plans for Take On? I posted this in AircraftHUD as well, but I think you guys should work together.

[mandoble 1]

Prophet, at the moment I have no plans for Take On. I guess that as long as they keep the same vehicle/weapon class names the current systems will keep working the same.
