Unified Artillery For VTE

Post by FuLLMeTaLJaCKeT »

I have a problem... How can I use UA when playing as a VTE RTO? Without having to pick up a COC Radio off the ground? When I add a Enable Radio Gamelogic nothing happens.

Please help :-/

Thanks in advance

This was answered on the BI forums not too long ago but here goes:

Code: Select all

?CoC_RadioBridgeRunning:Exit
_radiotypes = ["VTE_prc25","VTE_typ63"]

CoC_RadioBridgeRunning = true


#NoRadio
?({_x in weapons player} count _RadioTypes>0):Goto "StartRadio"
~5
Goto "NoRadio"

#StartRadio
[player] exec "CoC_Artyscriptsopenmenu.sqs"
CoCIFRadioAlwaysOn = true
[] exec "CoC_ArtyscriptsRadioMonitor.sqs"
#HasRadio
?({_x in weapons player} count _RadioTypes == 0):Goto "StopRadio"
~2.5
goto "HasRadio"

#StopRadio
[player] exec "CoC_ArtyscriptsEndMenu.sqs"
CoCIFRadioAlwaysOn = false
CoCIFRadioChatter = false
goto "NoRadio"
Executed by: [] exec "nameofabovescript.sqs"

Where do you add this script into VTE4 for the above option to work?

I believe anywhere in the mission start, most common place is init.sqs script.

I almost got the artillery support down

When I made a mission with UA stuff in it. My forward observer can use a radio to call in Artillery Support and it works the 105 rounds land just fine. Now with the VTE RTO how as a player of that character have the option to call in artillery? I know that it has something to do with Enable Radio Weapons.<---But how do I do that??? Thank you

As said in this topic, you need to run that script at the start of your mission, then the UA will be active and can be used.

Create init.sqs file and place the script there like MI_Fred already explained.

Code: Select all

[] exec "ScriptName.sqs";
