Dropping bombs from a plane

[dragonshinobi03]

Hi, How do i get a west plane think it was called AH1(LGB) sumtin like that how do i get that air unit to drop it bomb on a tank but never fire its gun

[-=Tumble_Dry=-]

u bring up a hard question. i think there is a waypoint called destroy, make one and drag it over to the object being attacked. this is for destroying 1 thing only. does this solve ur question?

this ani't what i meant i mean is a plane has two types of weapon a bomb and a gun. how do i get a plane to drop the bomb on the target i tried destroy but it just shoots the gun, until its destroyed

You can remove the ammo from the gun
i don't remember the syntax, you can look it up, or someone who knows can add to this query.
It's on this site somewhere if you wanna look. Weapons and ammo list.

I don't think that'll work. The bombs on the plane are 2000 pound LASER guided bombs. They're meant to be guided by the laser used by the black op or the OH-58. Otherwise, the AI won't use the bombs, and If you're flying the plane, you need a guy pointing the laser for you (hard to do) or just guess and drop them "Dumb".

Using the Invisible Target Addon works a treat for stuff like this. You can get Air Craft to Bomb infantry if you use the correct Target type.

I think snYpir wrote a tute on the laser designator.  Check the Ed Depot.

Could this be done with a camcreate thing...?
It would work.. But look rubbish..
snYpir's tutorial is good.. I make a helicopter (Using laser designator on one of them) and an air strike using that
It works well..
But how does the plane know to use that laser desig. but not that other one...?

BTW, you would need to open the CPP of the A10B to get the magazine name.. But I think its one of these :
"Cannon25HE"
"Cannon30AP"
"Cannon30HE"
But I'm not sure which one... If any?

A10 drop LGB's

Name yer plane A
 
 
WP's On Activation field goes:
 
A fire ["LaserGuidedBombLauncher", "LaserGuidedBombLauncher", "LaserGuidedBombLauncher"]
 
But as this will only fire ONE frikkin' bomb   yer better off using a black Op. with LaserDesignator,
as the bird will attack whatever target he paints with his designator.  

(or make a script, a looped "fire" command)
------
 
Alternatively ya can remove the Mgun & simply put a "Destroy" WP upon some enemy!
Then she is forced to use the LGB's  
 
INIT field Syntax:
 
This removeWeapon "MachineGun30A10"
 
 
PS.
to remove the mag's only, use:
 
this removeMagazines "MachineGun30A10"  

This said, the absolutely best solution is to paint the target with you Laser desig. (black Op.) and then wait for the plane to take 1 or 2 fly-by's (to get position of target) and then coming in to drop that egg)
