SmokeShells and Airstrikes

[GodHatesUsAll]

NO, this is not "HOW DO I CALL AN AIRSTRIKE".

I need to know how to make bombs drop wherever my smokeshell lands.

Example:

Return to Castle Wolfenstien MP. How the officer can throw a smoke shell, then bombs land at that area.

So, say i, the officer, throws a smoke shell, then some grenades will explod around the smokeshell, randomly.

Ive seen it in an OFP MP mission, but have no idea how to do it...

where the shell lands?!    hmm, well honestly, I've never tried this particular thing (does ppl do that - throw smoke and then a bird comes in and start dropping eggs?? odd.)

well, nevermind m8 whatever...

I think ya should have a looksie in the "Ed.Depot"   p'haps a "missile detection" sort of scroll is what you're looking for?!

[Knut Erik]

The script should look kinda like this. (Not sure about this)


_Bombarea = NearestObject [_man,"Smokeshell"]

#check
@_man ammo smokeshell == 0
         ~10
shell1 = "Shell120" camcreate [(getpos _bombArea select 0) + 1, (getpos _bombArea select 1) + 2, getpos _bombarea select 2]
shell2 = "Shell120" camcreate [(getpos _bombArea select 0) + 2, (getpos _bombArea select 1) + 2, getpos _bombarea select 2]
shell3 = "Shell120" camcreate [(getpos _bombArea select 0) - 1, (getpos _bombArea select 1) + -1, getpos _bombarea select 2]
shell4 = "Shell120" camcreate [(getpos _bombArea select 0) - 2, (getpos _bombArea select 1) - 2, getpos _bombarea select 2]

~10
goto "check"

yea, that looks fine    .....except from.... who is _man  

[GodHatesUsAll]

Shit!

Chears dude!

Where _man is, can that be replaced with the Officers name?

For example _officer1

?

[GodHatesUsAll]

Hmmm, getting an error:

Code: [Select]

_Bombarea = NearestObject [_man,"Smokeshell"]|#|': Error 0 elements provided, 3 expected
Where do i exec this script?

Will it work in MultiPlayer if the Officer respawns?

Whats the _man bit for?

Ooops..  
Sorry for not giving you the correct info, GodHatesUsAll

Anyway, LCD's script looks MUSH better than mine  

[GodHatesUsAll]

No Errors, but it doesnt work :/

I throw the smokeshell, and nothing happens....

[macguba]

Try camcreating 2 shells at each location, so that they collide and explode.

[Knut Erik]

I had to modify the script a little, but here ya go!  
I've created an exsample mission for you to play with.
Also I've added a cool smoke effect that followes the shells from the sky!  

CRAP! You can't post .rar files, so I have to pbo it. (Use de-pbo to see how I did.)

[GodHatesUsAll]

Cheers dude!

Ill give it a try!

[GodHatesUsAll]

Ok, now for some reason, when my guy fires a gun, it exec's the script for however many times i fire.

So for example, if i fire 5 times, it'll exec the script 5 times :/

Any way to get around this?

[LCD]

try dat ;D

fixed wat knut eric did  ;D
