detonating camcreated satchels?

[Void-DK]

Being that im in love with the new ECP effect on satchels, is there a way to camcreate them and blow them up through a trigger? =)

or a way to run that explosion effect off the ECP satchel onto something else?

Thanks in advance,

yes. and no

there is a way to get satchels to work by detonating them, but it requires a lot of cheating, i.e. making a loon, equipping him with a satchel, getting him to lay it where you want, then hiding the loon somewhere close enough to issue a touchoff command.

alternatively, you could give the satchel a global name, then simply camcreate a laserguidedbomb at its position when you want it to blow up. i'd go with the latter

whether that reproduces the satchel effect in ecp is another question.

unfortunately it doesnt with the LGB..

couldnt yo ucam create it and just make an explotion on its position then deletevehicle it with a script? that is the way i would do it.

Aye, but problem is, that the the main thing i need is the ECP drop effect, that comes off satchels :/

Would be own as hell if used to simulate artillery (god i hope COC makes a dropped simulation of explosions if it ever gets updated)

Would like to use the script for it if it was possible, but alas, i have zero clue on that stuff, did manage to pull out the thing used(i think) and take a look at it, but not much luck getting it to make sense, much less getting it to work :/

The drop effect isn't part of the satchel charge, its either a script or its own seperate config entry. In either case, you can use them stand alone (or if it is a script and it has specific paremeters, you can duplicate it to work for you) without the satchel charge. Its just a matter of finding it and how to use it, which is very simple...

I am not sure if your looking for something like this. I made this a long time ago and it might help. it comes with an example mission.

It creates a new menu using addaction and gives you a choice between 2 types of satchels. It even includes the animation of the soldier putting the satchel down.

Hope it helps  ;D

Its a nice script..

But im afraid it isnt quite what im looking for :/ i need the satchel or preferably the satchel effect to be detonated through a trigger..
