High Command - Weapon Teams Command Script (control MG and Mortar Teams)

[Igneous01]

Script updated to 1.0, here are the new changes:
- added OA backpacks for all weapon teams (backpacks are added/removed when teams are deployed/packed up)
- added ammo count for MG teams (default is 6 belts per team) can be changed in the WeaponTeamInit

older changes:
- added support for multiple selections while using weapon team actions
- added ammo count for mortar teams (default is 12 shells per team) you can change this in the init script
- added a submenu for mortar fire missions
- added many more fire mission types, including ability to cancel
- added support for all sides

All the actions are in the communication menu (0-8), groups that are added to the script will have their HighCommand Group Icon change into the appropriate team symbol. You order these groups around like any other high command groups, then use the communication menu to deploy/packup and call in mortar strikes.

Teams when asked to deploy/pack up will go down, play an animation, then the weapon will appear and the unit will go into it. If the gunner dies in combat while deployed, the next man in the team will take over the position and continue firing. Teams are vulnerable when setting up/packing weapons and it takes 15 seconds to finish setting up.

This is Executed Via:

nul = [[g1,g2], [g3,g4]] execVM "WeaponTeamScript\WeaponTeamInit.sqf"

where [g1, g2] is an ARRAY of GROUPS that are to become Mortar Teams, and [g3, g4] is an ARRAY of GROUPS that are to become MG Teams.

EXAMPLE MISSION:
4 shared - link 1

Media Fire - link 2

In the example mission, you will start on Utes with 3 fireteams, 2 mg teams, and 2 mortar teams. There is some enemy in the north village for you to take a test drive.

actually its pretty easy to adapt for west or independants, just replace the mortar and mg with the one for the side. Its near the top of WeaponTeamInit.sqf:

// change high command icon to match group role
{
	_x setvariable ["MARTA_customIcon",["o_mortar"]];
	_x setVariable ["DZ_WTS_Type", 0];
      _x setVariable ["DZ_WTS_Deployed", false];
	_x enableAttack false;
	if (side _x == EAST) then {
		_x setVariable ["DZ_WTS_Weapon", "2b14_82mm"];
	};
} foreach _MortarGroups;
{
	_x setvariable ["MARTA_customIcon",["o_support"]];
	_x setVariable ["DZ_WTS_Type", 1];
	_x setVariable ["DZ_WTS_Deployed", false];
	_x enableAttack false;
	if (side _x == EAST) then {
		_x setVariable ["DZ_WTS_Weapon", "DSHKM_Ins"];
	};
} foreach _MGGroups;

just find the weapon classname for the mortar you want to use and mg, and copy it inside those quotes, and it will work for any other side.

Let me know if there are any issues with it, I have not yet updated this script with more features, but once I get my campaign in good shape it will be on my todo list.

Did that but weapons (deploy/pick up) options are grayed out. Markers are also infantry so they have not changed. Is there another line for side and imarker type needs changing?

oops, the problem is staring me in the face haha, change the:

if (side _x == EAST)

to

if (side _x == WEST)

forgot that I had that in there for future side implements. should work once the side is changed to west

yup, need to change both if cases to west (or you could remove the if statements since they are not really needed right now, assuming you know how to do that)
