Title: need someone with experience to build an addon vehicle
Post by: jkandjdk on 21 Oct 2007, 12:29:14
I would like to request a TOW like vehicle called EFOGM. that stands for enhanced fiber optic guided missile. it was a new weapon that my unit was involved with during the early field testing of about 10 years ago.

I have complete info on the weapon including photos, stats on everything. Would anybody be willing to attempt to mod this weapon. I can e-mail you the photos and everything about it if anybody wants me to. send me a PM with your e-mail and i'll send all info out to you. It's been about 10 years since being part of the team, but without looking up the info and doing this off the top of my head..here's a quick run down of what it does...the missiles lie flat in the hummer while traveling, when it gets to the place it wants to fire, the missiles will raise to a 90 degrees straight up. all the fireing is done inside on computer. it has 8 missiles. the missiles fire straight in the air for about 1 mile(?) then levels off and flies a maximum of about 12 miles(?). theses numbers are just guesses, i'll need to look them up. all of this is done with joystick in drivers seat. you control the missile from a camera in the nose of the missile. this way, you can be on one side of the island and shoot something on the other side as long as you know the enemy is there.

Fun thing  :D It's definatelly possible to be made in arma, just some modeling over Hummer and some scripting (the easiest idea would be just place player as a pilot in the rocket-plane while it flies), but i doubt you'll find someone to do the job. I never saw completed addon request for Arma. Competent people are either tired of this game or busy with own ideas or RL
too bad there's no commercial way to place an order for an addon  :cool2:

Mando's Missile Script could simulate the rocket, though it wouldn't be guided by you after you had fired it... and you would still need to modify the hummer.

Your best bet is to do it yourself, one step at a time. First learn how to incorporate mando's missile script onto the hummer, then look up some tutorials on modifying existing vehicles in O2
