Blackjack_UK Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I know, it sounds nuts. But the logic is sound, I promise. I'm writing a campaign along similar lines to Jackal but updated. At one point I want to have a shipping strike mission (it fits in the story arc well) and need to give the target ship some air defence. I really want to stick a couple of MANPADS on board, but of the course the editor won't allow me to place MANPADS on what it sees as water... I'm pretty sure there's something simple, but if someone could point me at it that would be brilliant. As an aside, is it also possible to make static objects destructible? I'm thinking of, say, hitting an oil platform with a cluster of 120mm rockets (which would certainly spoil their day in the real world) Thanks and Happy New Year [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Don't know if this trick is still working but... Place a MANPADS on the ground. Copy this unit (CTRL+C) and paste it (CTRL+V) on the ship. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack_UK Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 That would have been fantastic. But unfortunately, no, it doesn't work now. Thanks for the thought though :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack_UK Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 My test mission shows that oil rigs etc *are* destructible. They just need a lot of hits. And they don't change appearance which is annoying... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feefifofum Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I believe SUNTSAG created a mod that allows the placement of statics and infantry on water in order to populate an oil rig. Might serve your purpose. THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack_UK Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 That would (might) work. Don't suppose you could point me at it, could you? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack_UK Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 You're a star, thank you. Reading the notes it doesn't do exactly what I want...but it's probably close enough until ED do some proper reworking. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
