I'm writing a script to track whether a bomb has landed in a zone to trigger events and I've noticed that when testing with Mk-82 bombs on the F-16, when my script checks what ammo I have loaded it returns MK-82s as being in category 3 (bombs). This is as expected. When I initiate a shot event and check the weapon returned by the shot event for category, it's a category 2 (rocket). I'm guessing this is a bug within DCS but I'm not sure. Any ideas?
To be clear my idea in checking category is to make the script hopefully work with any bomb so players can modify their loadouts if they desire and not break the script. I guess the other way to do it would be to check for all valid typeNames returned by the bombs that are valid ordnance to be dropped from player aircraft but this seems ridiculously time consuming when I should just be able to validate a category enum.
