Where's that confounded bridge?!

[GazAce]

Hey cool Pilots,

I'm trying to build a mission that incorporates blowing up a bridge as one of the objectives. I'm in the Caucuses map as there's heaps more there than in NTTR. I'm quite stuck and can't figure out how to do this. I've flown quite a few missions in the past that involve taking bridges out but I can't find any in the static structures list. Anyone know how to do this without script or lua writing? Any help, kindly appreciated.

Cheers G

Just find a bridge ? In a city or a road ?

 

Don't think there is a static bridge in the default items. Maybe a mod.

 

Look for 476 NTTR Range Pack, if you want a cool range

Here's a thread of Caucasus landmarks and a mission where the bridge at Zug is exploded...

Thanks a bunch WC, appreciate that very much.

How would one go about adding a bridge as a target in a mission build? I've checked out You Tube.. R79, Banjo and heaps of others but they only create targets that are in the list. I'm stuck man. Wish there was a nice little tutorial for this kinda stuff. I've actually knocked up a pretty cool little mission with two sep armour columns, a fuel and ammo depot but I want to add a bridge to make it more interesting. Don't know where to turn next. Any help much appreciated.

Long story short, it is not possible with the built in triggers, but there is a very simple MiST one-off that you just need to drop into your mission.

 

Thread HERE

 

If you're totally opposed to any scripting at all, you can cheat it by placing a single infantry unit and trigger zone on the bridge, then checking if that unit is dead and creating an explosion in zone to ensure the bridge is destroyed.

Thanks kindly ffff,

As usual, awesome help. I think I'll play around with that infantry trigger method. One question though, is the Zone one that I create myself?

Cheers man

Indeed it is, though while you're at it you've done all the work necessary for the MiST function. ;) Let's call your trigger zone "Bridge" for the sake of this example. Place it on top of your desired target and adjust the radius so only the bridge is covered.

 

Now, download the MIST file here (C/O Grimes' Github page) and extract mist_4_3_74.lua from the .RAR file to somewhere you can find easily.

 

Create three triggers:

 

First, you must load MiST like so:

1 ONCE (load mist, NO EVENT)

TIME MORE (1)

DO SCRIPT FILE (mist_4_3_74.lua)

 

Then, add in the code from the other post - note this trigger is delayed one second from the trigger which loads mist; mist must load first or any scripting function relating to it will produce an error

 

CONTINUOUS ACTION (bridge destroyed, NO EVENT)

TIME MORE (3)

DO SCRIPT (

mist.flagFunc.mapobjs_dead_zones{  
  zones = {'Bridge'},  
  flag = 10
}

) -just paste everything from the "code" section into the script window.

Flag 10 will turn on once the bridge is destroyed

 

Now, lastly, a message -

1 ONCE (Mission accomplished, NO EVENT)

FLAG IS TRUE (10)

MESSAGE TO ALL ("Mission Accomplished!", 10)
