Title: How do I use the Laser designator??
Post by: Gumby on 23 May 2003, 13:47:18

I have an idea to use a Laser designator to mark the distance in an artillery barrage.

How...

I have a working artillery script, but it would be a nice touch to use an laserdignator instead of guessing the distance to the target...

THX in advance...

Hey Gumby  :)

There's a great tutorial in the Editors Depot on this.
Goto Editors Depot, select "Browse Tutorials" and I believe it's on page 2.
Snypir's "Editing with Laser Designator".

Enjoy  :cheers:

You do understand the 4 year gap between the last post in this thread and the current date.

I'm not sure if you are aware but OFPEC suffered a big crash not so long ago which completely wiped out the whole code we had on the previous site, thus the things referred in this thread do not work or exist yet.

Unfortunately, in my limited experience with it, I didn't find that tutorial to be very helpful before the crash. It referred more to using the laser designator to find distances to make editting and scripting easier (what I got from it) rather than simply teaching how to dump bombs and shells on the point designated by the player.

We do still have this tutorial and will most likely be re-instated when we get our submission interface working correctly.

In the meantime I have attached it to this post.
