I'm trying to set up an enemy artillery position that fires after I've destroyed a road block. I have set it up as follows:

 

Trigger

CONTINUOUS ACTION (Trigger3, ON DESTROY)

 

Condition

UNIT DEAD(1)

 

Action

FLAG ON (1)

 

Artillery Unit Waypoint Actions

Fire at Point

 

Condition

IS USER |1| (Box Ticked)

 

Should this work?

If the telegraph pole takes off after you, it is not a telegraph pole.

basically you need to use delayed activation. set the arty's start time in the future and then activate them on the trigger when say a unit is dead

It doesn't seem to be working with either ONCE or CONTINUOUS. The artillery does not fire.

 

I assume waypoint 0 for the artillery is just their start position???

 

Do they need to be activated as well, or is the FLAG ON enough for them to start?

Yes, they need to activated in order to do anything.

 

 

A slightly better way to do it would be to create a "triggered action." Its the tab to the right for waypoints. Simply add the "Fire at point" command in there and instead of setting flag on in your triggers, you use "AI Task" and select the task for the artillery.

The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Cheers, I'll try that tomorrow. How does the time format work for durations?

Hour Minutes Seconds. But with artillery and ground forces in general they have a limited amount of ammunition. So if you do use a fire at point its best to make em fire for a short period of time.

It seemed to work. I saw the MLRSs swivel their launchers on the TGP and I saw things blowing up at the location I told them to aim at but couldn't see the actual rockets being launched???
