How to script aircraft to attack?

[thaFunkster 0]

Hello,

I am making a cut scene.

In it I want some harriers to attack targets at a certain time, so that cameras catch the action.

clearly it is not so easy as having normal units attack, as they keep flying if you dont tell them to attack at the right moment, when they are in range and facing the target then it wont work.

So has anyone got any ideas for how I can script cameras to catch the action, and for the harriers to fire at the that time? (They are attacking BMPS).

Also, any ideas on how to do a fly by cam for them, when you dont know their location (I was thinking GetPos Select 1 + 200) or something along those lines would work?

Thanks.

The AI are incredibly hard to predict, and outcomes often change, due to the complexity.

I think your best bet would be to get a bunch of peeps with Laser Markers targeting different locations and have an Air Sup. script such as Draper's come in and bomb it with LGBs.

As for a camera to catch the action, I'd say just someone with their gun lowered. However, I have no idea how making cut-scenes in ArmA works, so you can basically just disregard this entire post if it's not relevant. Can't say I didn't try, eh?
