recon, data dissemination

[whitehot]

Hello.. I was playing around in the editor, trying to set up a mission featuring an insurgent command post built in a remote mountain area, and a russian strike package trying to destroy it.

My idea was, to have a SU-24 MR with recon pods trying to pinpoint its location and transmit it to a command vehicle at Beslan, which in turns vectors a strike package of SU-25Ts to the HQ area.

 

To make it short, I was looking for a way (triggers?) to define if a unit "sees" another one (in this case, the 24MR with the HQ), so I can disseminate its coordinates between other units.

 

Another issue could be dynamically create waypoints for the strike package, although I reckon that should be easier.

 

Can anybody shed some light on this? thx and good simming all

You may use MIST with its LOS function to trigger on a flag :), function is mist.flagFunc.units_LOS, pretty simple to use.

 

create a trigger, set it to start after loading mist and then use DO SCRIPT as action. Put this in the box:

 

mist.flagFunc.units_LOS({uniset1 = {'HQ unit name here'}, altoffset1 = 2, uniset2 = {'SU-24 MR unit name here'}, altoffset2 = -2, flag = yourFlagNumber, interval = 5})

 

I used a negative value in altoffset2 to be sure that the plane shape won't interfere with the LOS check.

 

Then you can create a trigger that will diffuse the informations when the flag becomes true.

About the strike pkdg, I working right now about dynamic striking something... therefore I don't have the necessary expertize yet to give help :(
