Bombing without planes....

[namreg]

Hi, I would like to bomb a whole town for a cutscene and I wonder If there's any way to place bombs in the sky and just let them fall free and explode......

I tried to use some units to do it in the init menu I inserted this:

Quote[/b] ]this addmagazine "6rnd_gbu12_av8b"; this addweapon "bomblauncher"

then I put an invisible marker on the map and with the setpos command I send the unit there and by a trigger they fired the weapon:

Quote[/b] ]kamikaze1 fire "bomblauncher"

Then it exploded..... but you always see a guy flying around, and if I wanted to explode more bombs it was impossible or completely slow...

I know there's a good way to do this, could anyone tell me the script??

That's the most hilarious method I've ever heard of . It's much easier to just spawn the bomb directly.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Bomb = &#34;Bo_GBU12_LGB&#34; createVehicle &#91;getPos MyGameLogic select 0, getPos MyGameLogic select 1, AltitudeInMeters&#93;;[/QUOTE]

Place a named game logic on the map, and subsitute MyGameLogic with the name of your game logic and AltitudeInMeters with the desired spawn altitude. AltitudeInMeters should work with 0 if that&#39;s the desired effect.

jajaja, I know man

I knew that the createvehicle command was involved in this, at first I created a marker and used the getpos command to try to place the bomb there but I couldn&#39;t....

anyway, THX a lot man.... There are many things I don&#39;t know about scripting, and I see a lot of difficult scripts out there that just blow my mind....jejeje... yours is great, just what I needed....

Just for completeness:

With markers getpos wont work, use getmarkerpos insted should do the trick

I tried
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Bomb = &#34;Bo_GBU12_LGB&#34; createVehicle &#91;getMarkerPos MyMarker select 0, getMarkerPos MyMarker select 1, AltitudeInMeters&#93;;[/QUOTE]
instead of
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Bomb = &#34;Bo_GBU12_LGB&#34; createVehicle &#91;getPos MyGameLogic select 0, getPos MyGameLogic select 1, AltitudeInMeters&#93;;[/QUOTE]
But it doesn&#39;t work with markers.... thing that would be neat so there are not so many game logics spread all over the place, just markers that can be hidden... what am I doing wrong??

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
Bomb = &#34;Bo_GBU12_LGB&#34; createVehicle &#91;getMarkerPos &#34;MyMarker&#34; select 0, getMarkerPos &#34;MyMarker&#34; select 1, AltitudeInMeters&#93;;

Marker names between quotes allways.

I&#39;ve been using the createvehicle array recently for similar purposes, and discovered that it wouldn&#39;t take a perfectly valid x,y,z coord. It would create the bomb at ground level in the right place. I had to then set the height of the bomb using setpos, passing it the exact same coords as I&#39;d used to create??

[hicks88]

make sure that you don&#39;t use getmarkerpos for the last set of coordinates as all makers are at ground level, make sure you are using a just a number

[Charliereddog]

Hicks, I&#39;ve got the position set as a local variable, and the height is NOT taken from the marker, in fact there isn&#39;t even a marker in my particular script. The bomb is created 3 mtrs below a flying plane, or at least it would be if it worked. I use exactly the same local variable in the setpos and it works correctly.

Sorry for stupid question, but can i use tricker to activate gamelogig bombs? I want to spawn few bombs when certain point has reached, I am using this code:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Bomb = &#34;Bo_GBU12_LGB&#34; createVehicle &#91;getMarkerPos &#34;target&#34; select 0, getMarkerPos &#34;target&#34; select 1, 50&#93;;Bomb = &#34;Bo_GBU12_LGB&#34; createVehicle &#91;getMarkerPos &#34;target_1&#34; select 0, getMarkerPos &#34;target_1&#34; select 1, 70&#93;[/QUOTE]

I have placed 2 markers to map, called target and target_1
