Close Air Support SIMULATION Without using Scripts

Testing. Testing. Allow AI aircraft to spawn and attack your targets or bomb an empty space just for the heck of it. without using external files and scripts.

Simply create a marker named "Airstrike_Spawn" wherever you like to place them. try on far corners.

Then add a trigger named "AKDummyTrigger" set it to be Repeatable and called on RADIO. add the codes below to the OnAct field.

Now using your center view or binoculars or weapon aim point to a target MAN VEHICLE or point to an empty ground. Airstrike will spawn from a distant and provide support. different aircraft can be set for different targets.

for MAN targets i use Nodunit & Franze AH-64D mod (which is awesome by the way. i just cant fly it). it will use all its weapon.

for all vehicle targets manned or unmanned. i use A-10.

for empty ground targets pr buildings i still use A-10 GBU12 because i dont know of any other.

doesnt work. please tell me how i can fix this.
