Dynamic minefields

[Galwran]

Hi,

has anyone foud out a way to:

1)Turn minefield "on" or "off" during a mission

2)Spawn minefield any way during a mission?

2)Spawn minefields on the locations of a cluster munition explosions (where realistically applicable)

 

This would be real neat job for the MI-8 and the MLRS units...

Well there are two ways to go about creating a minefield dynamically.

 

1. Randomly spawn in the "landmine" static object in an area.

2. Create a virtual minefield where you monitor the position of each mine and check to see if any ground unit comes near it, and then cause an explosion.

 

Using method two would be easiest way to turn it on/off, unless of course you wanted to despawn the mines and respawn them as needed.

 

If we can track submunitions (I think we can, but not sure) then yeah, it would be possible to deploy mines with sub munitions.

ED can make specific cluster ammunitions for artillery. if deploy mines wil have possible that can boost CA and search a mine-cleaning equipment to clear them (Breach operation).

Hi,

The problem is, I haven't found a way to spawn or move static objects such as minefields during a mission.
