Dead simple random AA script by Laxemann

[laxemann 1673]

Hey guys,

I'm currently teaching myself some basic SQF knowledge and came around with this script lately.

There are two versions:

• The "regular" one lets you define positions, e.g. game logics, to shoot at. (The script therefore can be used to make tanks and HMGs shoot at specific positions aswell.)

• The "autonomous" version doesn't need pre-defined positions and will make the vehicle fire automatically in the sky.

Usage:

"Regular" version:

null = [unit, [Array with positions], [Min,Max], [Min,Max], Weapontype, Ammotype] execVM "AAFire.sqf"

unit = Unit which is supposed to shoot (e.g.this)

[Array with Positions] = Positions the vehicle should fire at (e.g. gamelogics named [Pos1,Pos2,Pos3])

[Min,Max] = Minimum and maximum amount of shots fired (e.g. [2,5])

[Min,Max] = Delay between the single firebursts (e.g. [12,15])

Weapontype = Weapontype used (e.g. "autocannon_35mm")

Ammotyoe (Optional) = Ammo used (e.g. "680Rnd_35mm_AA_shells_Tracer_Green")

Example for the ZSU-39 Tigris:

null = [this, [Pos1,Pos2,Pos3], [2,5], [12,15], "autocannon_35mm", "680Rnd_35mm_AA_shells_Tracer_Green"] execVM "AAFire.sqf"

The vehicle (this) fires at the gamelogics Pos1, Pos2 and Pos3 with 2 up to 5 rounds per firebursts and 12 to 15 seconds between each fireburst.

The weapon "autocannon_35mm" is used with the ammotype "680Rnd_35mm_AA_shells_Tracer_Green"

The "autonomous" version:

Exactly the same as for the "regular" one, but the "positions array" has to be deleted.

Example:

null = [unit, [Min,Max], [Min,Max], Weapontype, Ammotype] execVM "AAFire.sqf"

Issues?

None so far

New version number: 1.05

• Rewritten code, better performance

• The first array now determines the amount of rounds fired with each fireburst instead the delay between each shot (which was stupid)

Here's a video showing the autonomous version:

Enjoy!

Works fine for me. I did a test in the editor; it creates a more realistic aa fire instead of placing the ingame tracer module (if atmosphere matters). Thanks.
