Ever seen We Were Soldiers? Alright movie I guess, but I ask as watching it marked the beginning of me realising that artillery can be used for defense instead of as a tool for attack. Specifically the shelling that was called down by the lost platoon every time they heard so much as a twig snap.
Lengthy preamble? It gets longer:-
I've tried on several occasions to recreate the scene, getting close in Arma by using a GL on a patrol route to trigger spawned bangs. I'm not going for a player or AI aimed afair here you understand - just a wall of random explosions that thin out attacking AIs. Of course this method did lead to ordnance making repeated hits on the same spot, but it wasn't too noticable.
What was all that about you ask? Well I'm trying to find a way to do the same in ArmaII:CO, but if possible without having to create so many triggers. That method seemed a little prone to failiure the first time round.
Does anyone have any ideas of other ways to do it? And as an aside, does anyone know of a way to stop your own side from blundering into the killzone?
