Mando Bombs and Mando Air Support (ACCEPTED)

[Manzilla]

Vengeance,

It may be possible to use the radio instead, if that would be an alternative the mission maker wants. I know in older versions it was possible to call bomb runs through the radio and then point and click on the map. Unfortunately I've been solely using the console since v1.50 or so. Therefore, I haven't used the radio option for the newer aspects of Mando Bombs and I can't say for sure if the new support options can be called via the radio.

Obviously Mandoble can shed some light on this. I'm not sure if this is an alternative you had in mind but it would definitely cut out the ASC. That is, if in deed the radio can be used for support options other than bombing runs.

Mandoble,

I've been AWOL from the forums lately, but I wanted to say thanks for the continued work on Mando Bombs and Missles. The progression over the last few versions is fantastic and has given me a new found interest in ArmA. It definitely adds greatly to my overall enjoyment. The fact you made it so easy for even the noob'est mission maker like myself is much appreciated. Thanks again for these wonderful packs.

Voodoonice, now I understand what you are looking for.
Well, as with the first versions, it is possible to call for bombing air support just executing a single script or using the simplified map-singleclick version, but the other options are available only from the console. On the other hand, the parts of code inside the console script that handle the missions are easily identifiable, there is a big switch case, and each case is a mission type. You may pick up the code of a particular mission type, copy/paste in a separate script file and then execute it individually (independently), but this will require some extra-coding.

  It's Vengeance but I understand, that is what I kind of expected you to say, but i was hoping for it to be a little easier, no worries. I will see if I can figure it out how you call it from the console menu so I can call it independently from the console.

Thanks Mandoble, your script it really very well done.

Sorry Vengeance, I was in the middle of a trip with 5 mins inet access, I did copy/paste the wrong name in a hurry. I might release individual scripts for some mission types, give me few days, might be for next weekend.

[Vengeance]

Awsome Man! Thanks, tested your script extensively last few nights on GA Servers along with AI-Disalbed Revive and Norrin's AI-Enabled Revive things are going well.

Mandoble,

I can't seem to make the Laser Guided option work, the Jet flys right by and does not bomb. I have the Mando Missle turned off but I am using Laser Marker.  Any ideas why this would be?

[Mandoble]

If Mando Missile is not present then it is up to ArmA engine to perform the laser guided bombs attack correctly, which few times happens  , you are also limited to use the AV8B with LGBs for these missions so OPFOR will not be able to execute LGB attacks.

Ok thanks Mandoble I understand, I thought I was doing something wrong. 

Thanks for the help.

New 1.54 version available:
- New mando_airsupport_nodlg.sqf script added. All the missions present from the air support console (except reconnaissance) might now be executed using the new mando_airsupport_nodlg.sqf. This script uses arguments instead of a dialog interface to set up the different missions.
- New mando_bombs_no_mapdlg.Intro demo mission added using mando_airsupport_nodlg.sqf to setup several missions.

Hey Mandoble, sorry its taken so long to try.  I've used the following script bit you gave me:-

Code: [Select]

// init.sqf

// whatever here


[]spawn
{
   while {true} do
   {
      if (side player == west) then
      {
         if (mando_support_left_WEST < 1) then
         {
            mando_support_left_WEST = 8;
            publicVariable "mando_support_left_WEST";
         };
      };

      if (side player == east) then
      {
         if (mando_support_left_EAST < 1) then
         {
            mando_support_left_EAST = 8;
            publicVariable "mando_support_left_EAST";
         };
      };

      Sleep 5;
   };
};

Works great, the only thing is that it doesnt give the plane allocations back, so i cant use the replenished planes.

i.e when i use all the available planes they become availble again after the set amount of time, but i cannot use them because i canot allocat planes fom the box below...

I hope that clear enough to understand,  anyways would there be a way to fix this problem??

Thx in advance for any help...

[Mandoble]

New v1.55 available:

Cheers dude...
