scripts for a triggered air strike
(at player's location at time of triggering - you'll have to modify it if you want a different target)
0. change the settings in airstrike_bomber.lua as you wish (travel speeds etc)
1. place a trigger zone and give it airstrike_trigger.lua
1.a name it something (e.g. airstrike1)
2. place the plane / entity to do the bombing and give it airstrike_bomber.lua
2.a name it the same as the zone (so you can have more than 1 air strike easily using unique names)
3. place an explodable entity with the script airstrike_bomb.lua near to the bomber entity (needs to be near for the script to register them as belonging to this bomber - no need to rename, script will automatically handle this)
3.a extract and repeat placing bombs for as many as you wish the bomber to drop (given he has enough time to drop them all in 1 pass)
(4) repeat for all desired air strikes but use a new name (note you will need to stack zones (with different names) to get multiple bombers to drop in the same location - you can only have 1 bomber per zone.
(4.a) tweak the settings at step 0
note the bomber allows for a general flyby noise at slot 0 and an unloading noise at slot 1
*remember to set all models to always active = yes and the bombs to explodable*
*this script is a 1 time use, once the run is complete that is the end of that air strike regardless of if it misses or still has bombs etc*
*edit* updated to work correctly with multiple drops and edited the dropping so it now doesnt rely on the player still being in range to drop (so it will always drop even if you move away)
(only bomber script is changed)
you can grab the files from the attachment but for any1 who wants to check the code
