Cluster Bomb run won't work from trigger or waypoint

[[RIP] Luhgnut]

I'm using Nicolas cluster bomb script that he triggers from the option scroll from the C-130. It works fine that way and perfect.

I try do do the same when the plane enters a trigger area or waypoint. It does run the script, because it does announce the "Bombs Away" text. But they don't drop.

//variables
_bomb = "RHIB";
_bomb2 = "RHIB";
_plane = _this select 0;
_i= 0;
player globalChat format["%1","Bombs away!"];


//spawning bombs
for [{_i=1}, {_i<6}, {_i=_i+1}] do //change 6 for whatever number of bombs you want the c-130 to be able to drop (here its 6x2 = 12 bombs)
{
_bomb = "Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle [1000, 1000, 1000];
_bomb attachTo [_plane, [4, 0, -5]]; //spawn under left wing
sleep 0.01; //allow the bomb to be attached before detaching it
detach _bomb;
sleep 0.15;


_bomb2 = "Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle [1000, 1000, 1000];
_bomb2 attachTo [_plane, [-4, 0, -5]]; //spawn under right wing
sleep 0.01; //allow the bomb to be attached before detaching it
detach _bomb2;
sleep 0.15;
};

//destroying variables
_bomb = nil;
_bomb2 = nil;
_plane = nil;
_i = nil;

-------------- Calling it with -------------- from waypoint
_nil = [] execVm "carpet.sqf";

I'm just learning a lot of this, but my other stuff runs well. Cept this from a waypoint.

Well, do you have a plane flying?

_plane = _this select 0;

This line tells what plane is there to attach the bombs too.


_nil = [myplanename] execVm "carpet.sqf";

yeah plane is flying. fires off the "bombs away" as it passes the trigger.

duy, didn't put in [myplanename]

It drops them quite nicely. I'm too tired, THANKS!

I've been able to use the Script just fine if I'm flying the plane but have been unsuccessful at getting the bombs to drop with a trigger. Can someone please give a little detail as how to do this. All I'm looking for is something very basic. Fly over a 100x100 trigger and drop a payload of bombs. Thanks and sorry for such a noob question. Thanks in advance.

only thread i came up with in a search so...
i want a bomb to drop on a trigger, not from a plane but just have it fall ( want it to look like it was in the building) i tried
"Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle [1000, 1000, 1000];
in the init field of a trigger but that didnt work. any ideas?
