GFX707's mortar

[Crassus]

In trying to script the reloading of this mortar (herein attached), but I've run into a bit of a snag: getting the thing to actually reload!

I know I've the ammo name right, as I use a radio trigger to give me the count of how many rounds are left. But I'm attempting to use another radio trigger

Code: [Select]

mort2  addMagazine "mortar2"

to reload the mortar, to no avail.

If the mortar is like any OFP "vehicle" like, say, a tank, then "addMagazine" should work, right? I know it works for a tank, as I tested it at the same time I tried to reload the mortar, but the latter just aint buyin' it.

yup, the Inv1944 mortars have the same @#! bug

umm, Y not just use the mortar that came in the CoC UA???

U prolly can add ammo to that (not too sure, but Ill find out)

If you park a West ammo truck back to back with GFX's mortar you get the rearm option as soon as you fire. So I guess you can rearm them.

I think the ammo is based on a Grenade launcher, perhaps you have to add those instead?

From memory, the problem with Inv44 is the ammo was not defined in the config.cpp. Although I have not checked the new version yet.

Edit:

The Inv44 81mm mortar works in a slightly different way than GFX's. If you have an east ammo truck parked next to it, it will automatically rearm.
