    ^ noticed what Ryd said so was re-writing it:

    //null = [hazler] execVM "arty2.sqf";

_arty = _this select 0; 

_roundType = ["32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells","2Rnd_155mm_Mo_guided","2Rnd_155mm_Mo_guided","6Rnd_155mm_Mo_mine","2Rnd_155mm_Mo_Cluster","6Rnd_155mm_Mo_smoke","2Rnd_155mm_Mo_LG","6Rnd_155mm_Mo_AT_mine"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
_target = ["hit1","hit2","hit3","hit4","hit5","hit6"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
_rnds = getNumber (configfile >> "CfgMagazines" >> _roundType >> "count");
_chances = ceil(random _rnds);

hint str _roundtype + str _target + str _chances;

while {alive _arty} do {
_tgtPos = getMarkerPos _target;
_arty commandArtilleryFire [_tgtPos, _roundtype, _chances];
_t = _arty getArtilleryETA [_tgtPos,_roundtype];
sleep _t;
_arty addMagazine [_roundtype, 1];
};

    Note - the vehicle has limited ammo eg only x4 "2Rnd_155mm_Mo_guided" - so will stop firing after 4 shots with that ammo type, so I added a reload. It will also pause to reload as the magazine only has 2 rounds. In effect you are asking it to fire more rounds than are in the magazine. So also got the magazine contents and used that for _chances.

    This is a script I used for looking at locations. My advice is don't use location names in a condition - there are errors, double spaces etc and you run the risk of case errors and breakage after game updates. Use positions instead, they will not change much.

    Island location names and location types are stored in:

    configfile >> "CfgWorlds" >> "Stratis" >> "Names";
configfile >> "CfgWorlds" >> "Altis" >> "Names"

    Check the map after you run this - each location returned is marked with a dot.

    private ["_locTypeArr", "_islandNamesArr"];

_locTypeArr =
[
"CityCenter",
"NameCity",
"NameCityCapital",
"NameLocal",
"NameMarine",
"NameVillage"
];

_islandNamesArr = [];
_locPosArr = [];
_locNamePosArr = [];

[_locTypeArr,[],true] call bis_fnc_locations;
_nearbyLocations = nearestLocations [getPos player, _locTypeArr, 100000];

for "_i" from 0 to (count _nearbyLocations)-1 do {
_location = _nearbyLocations select _i;
_locationName = text _location;
_locationPos = locationPosition _location;

_locPosArr set [count _locPosArr, _locationPos];
_islandNamesArr set [count _islandNamesArr, _locationName];

_locNamePosArr set [count _locNamePosArr, _locationName];
_locNamePosArr set [count _locNamePosArr, _locationPos];

};

copyToClipboard (str (_locNamePosArr));
//copyToClipboard (str (_locPosArr));
//copyToClipboard (str (_IslandNamesArr));

    returns:

    If you really need to use the name then:

_location = _nearbyLocations select 0;
_locationName = text _location;

if (_locationName == "Marina Bay") then {hint "you are at Marina Bay";};

    placed 6 different types with hunting backpack furthest distance from AI, - this works:

    _unit = _this select 0;
_array = nearestObjects [_unit, ["WeaponHolder"], 25];

for "_i" from 0 to (count _array)-1 do 
{
_wh = _array select _i;

if ((typeOf (firstBackpack _wh)) == "B_HuntingBackpack") then 
{
_bp = firstBackpack _wh;
_unit action ["AddBag", _wh, typeOf _bp];
};
};

    (it checks a radius of 25m so change that if you need a wider search)

    This works, it's the same backpack - contents are stored correctly:

    http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_3:_Actions#AddBag

    gunner1 action ["AddBag", (nearestObject [gunner1, "WeaponHolder"]), typeOf firstBackpack (nearestObject [gunner1, "WeaponHolder"])];

    or a sqf

    _handle = [gunner1] execVM "findBagAddBag.sqf";

    _unit = _this select 0;
_array = nearestObjects [_unit, ["WeaponHolder"], 25];

for "_i" from 0 to (count _array)-1 do 
{
_wh = _array select _i;

if (!isNull (firstBackpack _wh)) then 
{
_bp = firstBackpack _wh;
_unit action ["AddBag", _wh, typeOf _bp];
};
};

    There are many posts in the editing section about backpacks and this mission may help somewhat.

    With this you can browse through all 144 backpacks currently in the game, try them out, view contents, use a 3dText class hint, copy className to clipboard, fill them from ammo boxes, copy loadouts to clipboard, create arrays, assemble/disassemble static weapons, fly UAVs etc.

    VAS is included as are all ammo boxes and static weapons. Full instructions in the briefing.

    Installation:

    Place the .pbo in your \Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\Missions folder

    Play from scenarios or DePbo and open in the editor.

    Unzip the 7zip folder and place in \Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\PlayerName\missions

    I think the use of map locations is decreasing (there were less in A2OA than A2), empty arrays because there aren't any logics there. If you use the function in debug mode it doesn't place any markers:

    [["FlatArea","FlatAreaCity","FlatAreaCitySmall"],[],true] call bis_fnc_locations;

    These are the few that work (anything with a name on the map):

    [["NameCityCapital","NameCity","Mount","NameMarine"],[],true] call bis_fnc_locations;

    So it has an AI pilot? <<--- that's ur problem? It would work much better as a missile with velocity/pitch/bank changes. Check out the guided missile script on Kylanias website. You could probably use the AI to fly it to the target, delete the pilot for the last 500m and use a guidance script for the terminal phase?

    Have a look at the functions viewer, note at the top of each function that indicates use, you don't need the functions module any longer - that was only for A2.

    Scenes Functions

    UnitCapture "Records movement data of input unit over a specified period of time. If the 4th parameter set to true, will record weapons fire data as well."

    UnitCaptureFiring "Records weapon fire data of input unit over a specified period of time.";

    UnitCaptureSimple "(Simplified) Records only movement and dir data of input unit. If the 4th parameter set to true, will record weapons fire data as well."

    UnitPlay "Plays back input movement data on input unit. The data can be pre-recorded using the UnitCapture script."

    UnitPlaySimple "(Simplified) Plays back input movement and dir data on input unit. The data can be pre-recorded using the UnitCaptureSimple script."

    UnitPlayFiring "Plays back input weapon fire data on input unit. The data can be pre-recorded using the UnitCapture or UnitCaptureFiring script."
