Artillery question but not the normal kind

[commander jao 10]

is there a way to cause an Artillery strike to land on an area but caused by a trigger.

what i want to do is have a helicopter take off and moments after have Artillery fall on the position they just took off from.

how would i do this?

regards

variation on a theme?...

assuming you want this to happen the first time helicopter has moved in the mission...

you need some mortars, an artillery module and a script to make them fire

+a trigger with condition: if speed of chopper is greater than zero

then trigger will activate, script is called and the artillery will target its position

here's an example mission

simple enough but the problem you will have is the flight time of the rounds, chopper could be long gone before impact... so you might prefer to spawn some bombs in the air just above the chopper instead. sorry can't really help with that approach.

hope it helps, Sam

You could try putting this in the activation area of a trigger using blufor notpresent (presuming heli is blufor).

null1 = [] spawn{ if (!isserver) exitWith {}; for [{_i=0}, {_i<11}, {_i=_i+1}] do  {    Smoke1="ARTY_Sh_81_HE"  createVehicle [(getpos t1 select 0)+ random 150 - 75, (getpos t1 select 1)+ random 150 - 75, (getpos t1 select 2)+ 20];    sleep random 2;    };  };

Not tested in MP but should be ok. It uses 81mm mortar rounds.

t1 is the name of an object that designates the centre of the barrage.

{_i<11}, the 11 is how many rounds.

150 - 75 Sets the radius, currently 75 m

sleep random 2; sets how long between rounds. Currently 0-2 seconds.

Could anyone explain to me please how I can set the angle of spawned" rockets. I need to have a barrage of MLRS rockets fire over the head of the palyer but I dont seem to be able to specify the direction in which the fire.

null1 = [] spawn{ if (!isserver) exitWith {}; for [{_i=0}, {_i<11}, {_i=_i+1}] do  {    Smoke1="MLRS"  createVehicle [(getpos t1 select 0)+ random 150 - 75, (getpos t1 select 1)+ random 150 - 75, (getpos t1 select 2)+ 20];    sleep random 2;    };  };

Thanks in advance
