Spray

[O Neil]

Hey

Umm....I think this has been asked a few times, but it never worked. I need to know how to get a shilka to spray into a group of planes.

I also need to know that for just a normal person, I'm sure it's the same thing.

O Neil

PS: Is there a way to make a gamlogic hostile ? Might make things work better.

U mean how to make a unit fire at a nother??? ...wel that's easy...
just type the following in the shilkas or whatewer units init. field: this doFire unitname ...unitname is the name of the unit to be fiered on. NOTE: this works for any unit with a weapon!!!
Hope this helps

Umm.......yea I know that, but are you sure it sprays at nothing? I thought it's basically, OPEN FIRE  :-\

O Neil

PS: Sol Fire said I need a script...guess I'll get it

Create a GL and make it fire at that.

_unit doFire GLName


You could create several GLÂ's too. One for each plane to simulate targetting them one by one. then make a script that looks like this:'

_unit = _this select 0
_GL1 = _this select 1
_GL2 = _this select 2
_GL3 = _this select 3

_unit doFire _GL1
~1
_unit doFire _GL2
~1
_unit doFire _GL3
~1
exit

then save it as ShilkaTarget.sqs.


Then in the shilkas init-field type: [this, GLName1, GLName2, GLName3] exec "ShilkaTarget.sqs".

- where GLName1-3 is the names of the GLÂ's u are using. u will want to add movement of the GLÂ's to follow the planes and a loop to keep it firing. If u need help with that, i might be able to do it for u and attach it. well, if i forgot something, iÂ'm in a hurry, then just point that out.  

[O Neil]

Soz, doesn't work, I think it could be cause the GL isn't hostile.


O Neil

PS: I might try setcaptive red.....but I gtg now

[Der_Richter]

let me know how it goes.

[macguba]

I suspect you can't target or fire on a gamelogic

doFire works better if preceded by doTarget.    for example


Shilka1 doTarget plane1
Shilka1 doTarget plane1
~3
Shilka1 doTarget plane2
Shilka1 doTarget plane2

etc

Actually u can. a GL can be treated as any unit within the game, basically. So if u make the GL hostile to you, u can target it, and afire upon it.

do you know how to make it hostile?

[macguba]

Dunno, but if you grouped it under a leader of the opposite side and then deleted the leader, that might work.

[Der_Richter]

macguba beat me to it ;D

thatÂ's what iÂ've done. perhepas u could use the side-command as well... havenÂ't tried that.

[macguba]

side only returns the side of a unit, you can't use it to change a unit's side.

[Der_Richter]

isnÂ't there a "switchSide"-type command?

[O Neil]

unit setcaptive "red"    to make it hostile
unit setcaptive "green"    to make it neutral and will fire if any action is taken

red doesn't work for me I NEED A SPRAY SCRIPT OR SOMETHING !
  :-X
O Neil

[Der_Richter]

try to group it with a leader as macguba already noted. otherwise i can try some stuff out and see if i can write u a script that works.
