ACE2 nuke airburst via trigger

[Fox '09]

I am not sure if this is the right place..

I am trying to make the ACE nuke airburst work through a trigger.. I haven't a clue of what to do. I want the airburst to

I paste this into the on activation box " ["ACE_B61_15", (getPosATL myTarget)] call ACE_fnc_NuclearAirBurst;"

activation is radio alpha..

Here is the link..

how do i make this happen?

thanks

All you need for that to work is the trigger & function call (which you have), you also need an object called myTarget such as an invisible H or game logic. Just place the object down and change the trigger activation to:

["ACE_B61_15", [(getPosATL myTarget select 0), (getPosATL myTarget select 1),100]] call ACE_fnc_NuclearAirBurst;

That should create the nuclear airburst 100m above the objects location. You can change the 100 to the desired height.

thanks man! worked beautifully.

Recommended airburst heights ( ATL )....

5.0 - 114.89m
1.5 - 70.98m
0.3 - 37.28m

You can round up slightly if you like.

so this is for minimal radiation? ie the lower the more fallout, the higher, less?


edit:
or just a wider damage radius?

[Evil_Echo]

Best damage height IRL that has minimal fallout. So the detonation height that would be used for a real airburst.

Hmmmm i can't figure it out. It seemed so easy. I made a trigger (activation bluefor / present) and a marker named it myTarget and put this in the On Activation box:

["ACE_B61_15", [(getPosATL myTarget select 0), (getPosATL myTarget select 1),10]] call ACE_fnc_NuclearAirBurst;hint "baboom"

The hint Baboom shows up.. and than total silence. It totally amazes me that it doesn't work. I'm doing evrything right!

EDIT EDIT:

Never mind i used a marker... I should use the invisable H like told. sorry.

Edit again:

Hmm i don't die from radiation. I tought that came with it... DO i have to do something to activate it? Or should it work right away.

The effects of thermal, blast, prompt radiation are already in the initial burst.

An airburst does not generate fallout. If you use a ground burst then it takes a while for the debris to land, about 30-31 minutes usually. Wind determines that fallout footprint, it will show up on your map as an orange zone. Each zone represents a dosage level of 7 Sv, overlapping fallout zones have culmulative damage. You need to be in a NBC-rated vehicle in order to be protected from fallout.
