Rat works - L2A1 Anti-structure Launcher

Description
L2A1 ASM [MATADOR]

The MATADOR-AS is currently used by the British, German, and Israeli Armed Forces. It is an Anti-structure weapon with an advanced tandem warhead with two variants;

  • Anti-Structure or AS uses an enhanced munition to defeat structures and fortifications by penetrating outer walls before exploding inside the structure.

  • High Explosive Squash Head or HESH - is a type of explosive projectile that conforms to the surface of a target before detonating. Squash head projectiles are similar to high explosive projectiles and are well suited to many of the same targets.

  • The counter-mass consists of shredded plastic, which is launched out of the rear of the weapon when it is fired. This plastic is rapidly slowed by air resistance, allowing the weapon to be fired safely within an enclosed space.

Hello, I'm trying to create a similar mod with an AT4 to simulate AT4 AST.

Could you please give me highlights on the method you used to create the AS version ?

I tried to make a tandem warhead ammo and to play with the configs, but either it explodes outside the building, leaving everyone inside alive, or it goes through the entire building without exploding. I wonder if I have to use some kind of event handler to make the rocket detonate inside the building.

How did you make it ?

HESH seems to do nothing, anyone else have any problems with it? Might be that my unit it using an older version of ace tho, wouldn't know.

Hey @Vils! this mod can support AI?
Its purpose is to attack buildings, so the AI must be able to attack infantry from this type of launcher. If the AI is not supported, please try to implement it using the LAMBS RPG scripts, in which the AI will attack the infantry using the RPG-7! Thanks for this mod!

Updated:
- Added Bisigns
- Removed ACE dependency (If you load with ACE, it will still have the fragmentation and back blast features)

Hey, looks like you forgot to sign your PBO (the .bisign file is missing)

Just make another without the ace, because fragmentation is nice for some @Vils
