Title: AIRSTRIKES
Post by: TAPNKEGS on 25 Aug 2002, 19:07:24

     Anyone have any good links or SIMPLE commands to use for airstrikes. I have some jets that will be doing some low level runs and need the actual explosions and stuff for the strike.
   thanks for any advice

Only problem with that mate is that the explosions from the bombs will knock the plane out of the air if it is low!!!

Otherwise you can make a a10 FLY IN AND DROP SOME lgb'S on a game logic...

Code: [Select]

_plane = a10
_target = target
#start
_distance = getdistance _target
_plane dotarget _target
?_distance<50:goto "dropbombs"
goto "start"
_plane dofire _target
exit

Should work but I can't check it at the mo...

Code:_plane = a10
_target = target
#start
_distance = getdistance _target
_plane dotarget _target
?_distance<50:goto "dropbombs"
goto "start"
_plane dofire _target
exit
 

u should put a pause in there or it will chew up all your cpu cycles

Code:_plane = a10
_target = target
#start
_distance = getdistance _target
_plane dotarget _target
~1
?_distance<70:goto "dropbombs"
goto "start"
_plane dofire _target
exit
 

i also increased the distance to aliviate the time delay

You can also put the variables custmizable, instead of using defined names  ;)
Code:
_plane =  this select 0
_target = this select 1
#start
_distance = getdistance _target
_plane dotarget _target
~1
?_distance<70:goto "dropbombs"
goto "start"
_plane dofire _target
exit

That way he can put them on the Init line, making it more user friendly :)

Oh and i missed the link :)
_plane =  this select 0
_target = this select 1
#start
_distance = getdistance _target
_plane dotarget _target
~1
?_distance<70:goto "dropbombs"
~1
goto "start"
#dropbombs
_plane dofire _target
exit

There that script should work :)

I think that Todlife Airstrike script is AWESOME, it acually lets the player specify targets to bomb, and call in an airstrike by a plane that is flying a holding pattern somewhere on the map.
And the plane lays down a nice trail of bombs on the area specified by the player.
Then you can call off the strike, and pick a new target,...Or let the bomber keep making runs till he is out of ordinance...
very cool ;)
