New Guy Question Mission Building

[Backdraft]

Hi all,

 

2 small things I have looked and looked. I'm making a small mission and wondering if there is any regular Artillery Howitzers in the MB. Not SP(Paldin,Godz,Dana) regular 155,105,122 howitzers.

 

Secondly how do make explosions in an area. Bomb Drop.Missle or Artillery

You can go to the Encyclopedia on the main title screen, then click ground on the top and you can see all the units available. I have WWII assetts so I have a bunch that don't come standard, but I have no clue which is WWII and which isn't unless it very clearly looks very old.

 

As far as explosions, I only figured out how to make an IED type of explosion that really is just assigning an object (As the bomb) and a trigger zone so a Unit/group crosses it and it triggers the explosion to go off. You can set it to a vehicle and have another vehicle just pass by it and it goes off. I'm new too so I haven't gotten that far yet.

Someone has a script that will simulate an artillery barrage on a zone. It may be a MIST or MOOSE based script. I'll dig around. There should be a thread right here on this forum.

There is a new built in trigger that will simulate artillery fire inside of a trigger zone with a timer assigned to it. I forget exactly what it's called but look in the triggered actions section and it should be pretty obvious. For single explosions, you can use the EXPLOSION trigger which creates a ground level explosion of the desired magnitude at a trigger zone, or EXPLODE UNIT as falken suggests.
