Title: cannonfire and dofire
Post by: kobay on 10 Jan 2005, 11:41:19

hi GI

as I ask in a previous topic, i need to let a neberwefer fire to a hidden target.

Triggerhappy and many others helped me thanksfully with a script named cannonfire.sqs
I've tryed this....seems that work just for the part were the neberwefer pointing at target, then will not fire.
In case i try to change the name of weapon but still not work.

After that other GI tell me about a simple dofire command.
I try this in the init field eithe of the neberwefer and gunner:
neb dofire target01

Nothing works!!!!  :'(

THE QUESTION IS: HOW CAN I GET THE NEBERWEFER FIRE TO A IDDEN TARGET (H invisible)? I WOULD LIKE TO ACTIVATE THIS BY A TRIGGER

Next i'll copy the cannofire.sqs

THANKS EVERY  ;D

script 1
#loop
  mycannon dotarget mytarget
  ~1
  mycannon fire (weapons mycannon) select 0
  ?(mycannon ammo ((weapons mycannon) select 0)) > 0: goto "loop"

scipt2
#loop
  mycannon dowatch [getpos mytarget select 0,getpos mytarget select 1,100]
  ~1
  mycannon fire (weapons mycannon) select 0
  ?(mycannon ammo ((weapons mycannon) select 0)) > 0: goto "loop"

fire uses an array so here is the coorect line (you can find it in the scripts easy can't you?)

mycannon fire [(primaryweapon mycannon),"single"]

as you can see, i aslo changed the way you define the main gun (or only in your case ;D) to be used
hope that works

BTW, I don't remember helping with these scripts.... ???

It also might help if you make your hidden target an invisible targer instead of the invisible H.  The invisible target addons can be found at the Addons Depot.  The Invisible H is not regarded as an enemy, but if you choose the correct invisible target, then the unit will fire on it without any special coaxing.  Check out this topic thread where I give more info on the Invisible targets:
