Mortor, Aiming, Accuracy script

[mrmax]

HI, I would appreciate either examples or where to look on the following:
(Idea, I want to use AI soldier, as a mortor using the MM1)
I need scripts to :
Designate targets via Players action menu
Accuracy script to range and shoot MM1 with some error built in.

I have searched using MM1, Mortor, will now be checking artillery scripts..

thanks.....

Get COC Arty or get one of many mortars made at other sites.

I see no reason to try and use a MM1 as one, its just more work to do it.

I'm not trying to simulate artillery.  I want to be able to lay down a small barrage at short ranges from 100 - 300 yds, similiar to 60mm mortar.  60mm were carried both in marine and army platoons in WWII, even though scrapped in Vietnam many marine platoons scrounged for them and put them in service.  

Actually an AI soldier will fire the MM1 at targets that a player designates using the standard target select in the players menu.  But several problems:
1. AI soldier is unreliable, doen't fire quickly enough,  (need for him to fire on command)
2. AI soldier always wants to get up and move toward target and then fire, AI is often killed when he exposes himself.
3. AI only fires single round, I would like to have 3, 6, 12 round barrages.

In addition the damage inflicted compared to artillary is more fair in this game..

This is gonna be hard.    

The easier half will be making the loon fire.   Experiment with fire, doTarget and doFire commands (on named enemies) to see if you can make him fire.

The hard part will be target identification.   You'll need an array of all the enemy units in the area (use a trigger, say 300x300 and a wee looping script to keep it attached to the player), a knowsAbout command and ... well I'm not sure what else.

What is the string or call that is generated when a Player targets a enemy soldier or vehicle, for his AI in group :
1st when player uses mouse to target
2nd when player uses "target" in Player's menu


Any help is appreciated?
