Generating satchel charges...

[Egwal]

How can I generate (I mean so thay are on their place when the mission starts) 3 satchel charges to a town and get them to blow up at the SAME TIME for example 5 minutes after the mission starts.
I know it has to do somethin with the camcreate command, but im not that good in mission editing yet

Thanks

sat = "pipebomb" camcreate getpos here

(this will create a charge at a trigger or object called here)

if u want to create it at a marker then its simpily...

sat = "pipebomb" camcreate getmarkerpos "here"


im not quite sure how u cld blow it up, try putting a trigger with all the times at 300 (5 mins in secs) and in the on activation field put...


sat setdammage 1



hope this helps!

mysatchel1="pipebomb" camcreate "format position"
mysatchel2="pipebomb" camcreate "format position"
mysatchel3="pipebomb" camcreate "format position"
I don't think you can blow them up afterwards (mysatchel1 doesn't work, Titan), so here's a way round : create a trigger with "true" in the condition field, put 300 in max, min and med, and this in the activation field :
shell1="shell73" camcreate getpos mysatchel1;
shell3="shell73" camcreate getpos mysatchel2;
shell3="shell73" camcreate getpos mysatchel3
You'll get a real big explosion as this will also blow the satchel charges up.
Or you can make a unit put charges where you want, and then order it to touch them off :
_myunit  fire ["put","pipebomb"] in the activation field of your WP
and, five minutes later (don't leave that unit too close !!!)
_myunit action ["TOUCHOFF"], for instance in another WP.

Actually, shell1="shell73" camcreate getpos mysatchel1 won't destroy the satchel, so if you really don't want to see it, simply add :
DeleteVehicle  mysatchel1

just thinking, in min, mid and max put 270 and in the On Activation put

maysat1 = "timebomb" camcreate getpos here


that was it will create a sat charge there after 4mins 30secs then the sat will blow up 30 secs l8r.

[Igor Drukov]

Yeah that works, it blows up after about 20 seconds. I guess EgWal will still have to camcreate and deletevehicle the satchel charges if he wants to see them at the beginning...

you cld camcreate normal pipebombs at the start, then at 4.30 mins camcreate timebombs on top of the pipebombs.
