Tochka-U missile script

[USSRsniper 0]

Since I'm working on Tochka-U made this simple script,

http://pastebin.com/mc231b66

Don't laugh it's my first script for a BIS game... :icon_rolleyes: Marker is there just for visuals, so I could see the missile on the map. What I'm hoping to create is a script which hopefully will work in MP.

sweet..cant wait to see it in action and get it in some missions

Well I posted this to get some help.

[noubernou 77]

What do you need help with? The only thing I can see that is really wrong (with out reading too much into it) is that you are using SQS and not SQF as the language/format.

I am interested in your work on this, as I want to make an Honest John artillery rocket (on its static launcher) as one of my first footsteps into modeling.

[noubernou 77]

Hey USSRSniper, I took what you did and somewhat expanded on it (it was a good excuse for a project to learn 3DS Max...).... It is a model of Honest John, an early American artillery rocket (and first nuclear capable rocket in the US arsenal).

Find below my really ugly code that can only shoot a missile south and at a certain angle!!! :D Most of the work is in doing the smoke effects for the stabilizer motors.

Nice, but in my script it actually fires in the direction of a vehicle. :)

Nice, but in my script it actually fires in the direction of a vehicle. :)

Let me post up what I have now... :)

I should take a video too... Let me do that in a second as well...

This script can have it fire at any angle or elevation. Its range is determined by a rocket burn time (the in game simulation for rockets does not give it the desired visual effect of the rocket having to fight against gravity to gain momentum in its early burn times).

I used particle emitters for the stabilizing motors because they can work independently of the drop command executing every script iteration. Also if you pass the object at the end of a particle array (the missile in this case) you can give 3D coordinates to the position, and the game engine will translate those correctly based on the pitch, yaw and roll of the object (so much easier than trying to do it via your own math).

Unfortunately something in the game engine causes the projectile to go invisible after about 170 meters per second. I was thinking you could get around this by not making it an ammo class. You unfortunately loose some of the simulation aspects though. I am actually using the ShellBase ammo class, not RocketBase or MissileBase.

Cool script :)

Thanks, I hope that helps you... I wasn't sure what your original question was though... :(
