Ai forward observer & mortar packs

[Unnamed_]

Hi,

Glad you liked it. A GroupLink version would be excellent, the Observer needs a command structure above it to make better use of his information.

Let me know how you get on, or if there is anything I can add to make it easier to implement.

Cheers

Hmm tried plugging the old M110 howitzer into your scripts, shows ingame, but FO gets no target plotting commands,
Q. Are the params scripts limited by shell size or type?

There are a few arrays that need to modified, I can IM the details if you want to try. Or perhps use the older version of my indirect fire scripts:

Basicly the same thats in the addon, just less code to wade through.

I did not test many artillery addons, only the M198. I could not get a good match with the trajectory equation I have. I think its down to velocity, the m198 is 1200 m/s, the mortars I use are only 240 m/s. I think the physics are different for high velocity projectiles?

Hehe...All scripts are open for anyone to view&#92;use, thats the way it should be with everything in OFP.

As long as I get at least a mention, I dont mind

[pzvg]

Hehe, yeah mon that&#39;d be a ton o&#39; crap to wade through <already did it>

I&#39;ll use your earlier script and see what I can get out of it,
<I&#39;m no coder, but I can bang on something until it gives pretty good>

Hmm, perhaps modifiy the velocity? gotta see,

No worries, IF I put it out for public consumption, I&#39;ll probably forward it to you and let YOU release it, <could care less about "fame" just want stuff to do what I want, ya know?>



P.S. You&#39;re code is smaller than CoC&#39;s arty scripts, I&#39;ve been working on adding WWII arty to them and OMFG&#33; these guys must live in closets with UV lights to keep their skin healthy>

To avoid this I try to go outside, in Ottawa we have some great out door paths and parks you can enjoy, jogging, biking, hiking, mountain biking, you name it. (just have to watch the wildlife, ie polar bears)

Thats not a bad idea, changing the M110&#39;s velocity would give you more elevation, but in the scripts I have to compensate for how the mortar addons have been setup to fire, using the function LaInterp.sqf. You would still have to change some paramters.

Sure, it makes sense to keep everything together. But there is no fame to be found at the back of a dusty readme, only courtesy

Depends on what you want. Like CoC I tried to cover as many requirements from mission makers as I could. If you wanted to use the M110&#39;s in a specific mission just use DoWatch and Fire with a bit of trial and error. I have a spreadsheet and a mission to test the trajectories of the Mortars, I could send you those or send me the M110 and I&#39;ll see if it will work.

I heard that CoC, while they worked. Had there brows mopped with Coconut milk, by attentive, sultry maidens

But really there should be less code, as it probably consitiutes a quarter (if that) of the functionality thats available with CoC&#39;s UA.

Well, I can send you something to look at if you want, but

1) either you need INV1944 demo installed or I need to redo the .cpp to use stock troops.

2) You have to understand that it isn&#39;t for release, isn&#39;t intended for release, and shouldn&#39;t be released <basically it uses things from other folks, and I don&#39;t even want to get into that kind of row.

So lemme know if you want to take a look.

When I wrote those scripts I did not have any Mortars for standrad OFP. If you update the content of parameters.sqf with the type and weapon name of the Addon you want to use, that should be enough.

Sure thing. If I can help out, then mail it to me.
