Title: My Artillery Script
Post by: Ghost644 on 05 Jul 2009, 03:43:56

I made an Artillery script which I am pretty satisfied with the results. I plane on making it better and more customizable but for now it is fine. Few issues:

• script runs but artillery does not fire for clients, always works for host(untested on dedi server)
• cannot get BIS_ARTY_F_LoadMapRanges to load arty ranges
• setradiomsg does not hide for clients

I am still learning how to do this scripting stuff and understand some of it but global, local still gets me. To use create an empty marker named whatever you like. Create Functions and Artillery Modules naming the Artillery Module. Create artillery pieces and add artillery ammo to them and name leader. create radio trigger, repeatedly, onact put

Code: [Select]

arty = [artmodule,"marker",rounds in # format,leader name] execVM "dta\scripts\artillery.sqf";make sure to adjust array for what you named your stuff

Code: [Select]

/*script by: Ghost    designed for 3 arty triggers of 4,8,16 rounds setup: create marker type: empty, create 3 radio triggers repeat onact: arty = [firebase,"arty",4,gun1] execVM "dta\scripts\artillery.sqf"; Make sure you have the Functions and ArtilleryModule on map as well. Name Arty Module Whatever you like ie firebase and link module to your arty pieces.

1. To avoid overwriting other peoples gvs:

Code: [Select]

arty =
=>

Code: [Select]

YourTag_Arty =
http://www.ofpec.com/tags/

2. Extract the modules.pbo and study the arty scripts.
Maybe you can disable its communication.

3. Check existing arty functions to study and learn:
