How to make a AI sniper do his thing.

[LightningRoc77]

So I am creating a mission where you deploy a ai controlled sniper team The problem I am having is making the spotter spot and the sniper take the shot. This is a rather large mission and I want alot of things happening all at once., Maybe some kind of go code script or something.

Once the high command controlled chopper drops off the sniper team I then want them to move into position and to start scanning for potential targets ands take the shot when they have it.

I am not good with the scripting in arma 3 so a dumbed down way,(something a baby could understand) would be great.

My idea for the training mission is a fire sqaud moves to a certain location and prepares to assault. On the Commanders command the snipoer begins sniping and the fire team begins to search out any enemies and kill them.

As far as I know the assaulting team simply gets a seek and destroy command but i dont know how to make the sniper team do its thing

ANy help would be great!

Thanks in advanced ,

You know how to set waypoints? You know to set waypoint behaviour? You know how to drag AI units into a helicopter? Thats all of the magic.
Simply edit this stuff. Will be a lot of work and beta-testing but if you want it so detailed - you have to do it.

By the way: Why do you want this scene as detailed as described? Do the player see it? Is it for a camera scene? Why is the vanilla behaviour not good enough?

I suppose you could try using doTarget[community.bistudio.com] and doFire[community.bistudio.com]

If you set the snipers skill to 100 and have Eden enhanced mod installed set all the extra skills to 100 the sniper will kill anything from over 1000yards away within a second of seeing them. If they shoot at a player the first shot mostly misses but the second will kill, they will even disable a car with one shot if you give them a 50 cal.

I set enemy snipers up all round my map like this and it's bloody brutal if you come into their line of sight.


Spotter Ai doesn't work the way you want it because they are Ai.
