Shell Landing

[The_argyll]

How do I find out the last position a shell has landed for a each tube in a platoon of 4 mortars where TubeID is the number of the tube, 1 through 4. X is the X Coord. Y is the Y Coord. I dont need to know the Z Coord though.
Thanks,
RS

This added to the fired event will allow you to track the shells, just put the following line in each of your Mortars init fields:

Code: [Select]

this addeventhandler ["Fired","_this exec {Track.sqs}"]
Track.sqs

Code: [Select]

_sh=_this Select 0
_aT=_this Select 4
_ts=ObjNull
@(Call {_ts=NearestObject [_sh,_aT];!IsNull _ts})
~1
#Loop

_LastPos=GetPos _ts

~0.1

If !(IsNull _ts) Then {goto "Loop"}

_X= _LastPos Select 0
_Y= _LastPos Select 1
 

You can get away with this because the muzzle velocity its quite low for mortars. Although it might miss rounds when things get really busy on screen.
