Title: How to fire mortars ??
Post by: OFP-SpecOps on 13 Jul 2003, 22:42:12: I can't get the Mortars in the SEB Nam 2 pack to fire on infantry. Does anyone have any suggestions?

;D Honk-honk!

Well, dude, just a blind shot here (haven't tried that weapon, sorry). :P :) See, I think that your tweaked mortar MIGHT be too strong?! That is, if the "CfgAmmo" -part of the config in that addon shows a mortar with a higher damage ( > "hit" points) and if the "cost" of the weapon is high, then the soldier using that weapon prolly won't waste such an expensive/strong mortar on just a single unit - and so, he saves his mortars!

Just a guess... dunno m8.

Off course, you COULD try & ask the author. :) He might knowsabout it?!

As for your problem, I would only guess that the enemy may be approaching from outside the mortar's arc of fire. I think that it is a full 180 degrees centered from the front of the sandbags. In fact, I think the SEB mortar has three pegs on top of the sandbags so you can determine the mortar's field of fire.

Hope that this helps.
