Airstrike script

[onmas]

Hey guys.

I've muddled on with this one for a while, but its now bugging me.  Basically, it works fine except only for me (on locally hosted games).  If anyone else calls it (e.g. from a radio trigger), the marker goes down, but the aircraft is never created...  Sorry its a little muddled, as I've tried to hack it multiple ways.  I realise I should probably be using public variables and event handlers, but got lost implementing it.

I have a couple of other scripts that operate CAS, a heli drop and a cruise missile attack.  All operate in a similar fashion...but only for me.

Can someone please help rewrite the script so that it'll work safely for anyone who calls it please?
