Fire without Target

[jamie_psx]

Does anyone know how to get a plane to drop it's bomb load, or a soldier to fire his rifle, etc even if no target is given.

For example the CommandFire and DoFire commands require that a target be selected for the soldier first.

I'm making a mission where I need the A-10 (LGB) to just fly over a valley and drop it's bombs in the general area, without specifying a particular target for it.

In fact the plane is on Careless behavior, so I want to force it to drop it's bomb load by putting in some commands in the On Activation field of the plane's waypoint.

 Hmm....  well here is some info that may at least help you figger it out..

I noticed that you didn't mention the fire command

Syntax :
Unitname Fire [Weapon, Ammo]


  Some other things you can try are:

   just using an M2 or something and sinking it a couple of meters into the ground  if visibility to the player is your concern here....  


  I've never been too clear on whether or not you can target triggers, but I know that gamelogics are definately out of the question
 
 hope this info helps

yeah the fire command would be the simplest and most effective though

you can use it the following way which is the simplest:
unit fire "M16"

or by passing in an array:
unit fire ["throw","SmokeShell","SmokeShell"]
