RileyFletcher_01 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Just give them a Destroy Target plan and leave it with no target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 thanks i'll try that, while i'm here what about a moving tank engaging another moving tank while on a path? i can't seem to get that to work either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RileyFletcher_01 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Won't be able to fire while moving, because the destroytarget plan has to go somewhere in between, however it can stop for a moment, shoot and then continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 You can have as many steps as you like in a single plan, makes good instances. Also you can add the Invisible vehicle teleport it anywhere you like, then give the plan of destroy invisible vehicle to make it fire in the direction you need.

RileyFletcher_01 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Yes, but that doesn't mean that tanks can fire while moving. I meant that the DestroyTarget plan had to go in between a plan, not overlaying it to happen at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Tanks would never fire while moving normally anyhow. Would be nothing more than a waste of ammo. But if you had a dummy apc, it could be sent to certain zones and fire when a real apc passes through probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 well i noticed after testing the mission that the two tanks in question both meet at a certain point, if i have one stop short and destroy the other, then move on it would suffice. thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migryder Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 well i noticed after testing the mission that the two tanks in question both meet at a certain point, if i have one stop short and destroy the other, then move on it would suffice. thanks for the help you might have a look at the tank battle I scripted for the first mission of Africa Burning, Kassarine Karma, I had some armor going at it in that opening scene, with some if this, then go here and do that as I recall...

RileyFletcher_01 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I've done the same in Mission 11 of my campaign. I've got a Howitzer firing into the distance, two friendly armor units advancing down the road alongside you, and two tanks up ahead in the village, one pinned down by enemy forces. The lead tank of your column turns off the road and stops by a wall in the village, and then fires a shot at the advancing BTR, destroying it. The other tank continues past it, and comes to a stop behind the destroyed BTR. The tank next to the stranded one fires a round at a T80 coming from behind our pinned down armor, but not before the enemy tank destroys our pinned down one. The enemy tank then moves forward, but is destroyed by the long-distance tank. I love tanks.

RileyFletcher_01 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Wow, I didn't know my missions could cause such profane language! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 sorry, i didn't mean for it to be profane, and it's actually quite toned down for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeealex Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 well it is, at home if you are finnish and part of my family, you will understand what i mean by the "p word" (it's not racist) which will not be mentioned here. i scream that allot when i'm reaaly peed off at something, that's about as profane as it gets. PM me if you want to know what it is but i'm not going to say it openly in a public forum as i know the sensor wont pick up on it. aaanyway back on topic....
