RPGin' it

[kueter]

Hola ofp bros,  
            Hey, I am working on a few new maps, but I can't get the ai to fire on infantry with RPG's...ie like in Vietnam.   Any ideas on how to do this? Could a script do it? Lemme know, fellas. Thanks!

Peace out,
Kueter

More information on your problem would be greatful   :cheers:

[Ball Zack]

He wants to know how to force the AI to fire shoulder launched rocket launchers at infantry targets...

[kueter]

Rgr Ball Zack, I want enemy ai to fire on your squad with rpg's...like in bhd.

Peace,
Kueter

Hmmmm... Is it in a cutscene or in the mission? cause if it is in a cutscene u can fake it.

[kueter]

 :-\ I know it is a difficult question guys. Rgr, Real Armstrong. I could fake it in a cutscene, but i would like to use it in a mission for added realism. It would be cool to come around a tree and a vc launches an rpg at ya...lol   Just wondering if it could be done or not. No big deal if it can't be.

Peace,
Kuet

it can be done its a code but i cnat remeber it

[Ace]

It would require a script.

And it would resemble something like the "Imrpoved AI scripts" around.

Because in them they have a conditon for somehting like :
"If enemy has 5 or more units than us then we retreat"

It would have to be changed to soemthing like:
"If enemy has 5 or more units than us then we blow their heads off with rockets!"


If you don't know how to edit the scripts to do this I will be able to tomorrow morning (GMT) but not now.

Hello Ace
       I'm interested in this RPG on infrantry script, perfeably only attack when the enemy are more then a few guys like you mentioned. Since this is outside of the config.bin i have no idea on scripting.

[Burn]

Did this little script in a couple of minutes for ya. ;D
I'm no scripting pro but this should work ... Come on give it a try!
Hope it helps :joystick:

A cpp change can make them fire on infantry:

class LAW: AT3 // soldier RPG
   {
      hit=500;indirectHit=150;indirectHitRange=2.5;
      minRange=20;minRangeProbab=0.50;
      midRange=75;midRangeProbab=0.95;
      maxRange=250;maxRangeProbab=0.10;
      model=LAW;
      simulation=shotRocket;
      simulationStep=0.05;
      cost=5000;
      soundHit[]={Explosions\explosion_at3,db30,1};
      soundFly[]={objects\noise,db-80,4};
      maxSpeed=350;
      irLock=true; // no lock on soldier
      manualControl=true;
      maxControlRange=0; // max range for manual control

      initTime=0;
      thrustTime=0.2;
      thrust=2000;
      maneuvrability=0;
   };
   class RPG: LAW // soldier RPG
   {
      model=RPG;
   };

Change:

irLock=true; // no lock on soldier

to

irLock=false;

And the ammunition will then target infantry, and of course you then need to make a new rpg weapon cfg that uses the new ammo.

doesnt work for what i need it for...

i have a cutscene and i want the guy to be holding the rpglauncher for a while and then i'll make him fire the weapon....

[KJAM]

erm, have him as a law soldier, remove the primary weapon, not the law, the ai usually witch tot heir secondry weaopn straight away

[Messiah]

nope, tried it... failed  :'(

I had to find out a script for something simmilar this is prehaps all that you need.

enemyaa2 DoTarget blackhawk2
~3
enemyaa2 Fire [AALauncher, AALauncher]

But change "enemyaa2" to the units name of your unit with the RPG. and change "blackhawk2" to the name of the unit that will be targeted by the RPG soldier.

But also you will need to change

[AALauncher, AALauncher]

To the name of the "weapon & ammo used" Such as

weapon used ==>[RPGLauncher, RPGLauncher
 RPGLauncher] ammunition used.
