Way to get vehicles to fire orbital strike beacons?

Post by wookieejedi »

I wanted to have a base be orbitally bombarded in a map I am making for BF2.

My question is there a way to have vehciles have orbital strike beacon as a third wepon set? And if so is there a way the AI would use it?

Vehicles have only a primary and secondary weapon for each "cockpit". There are no tertiary weapons.

Well I do not need three wepons, I just want one of the weopons of a vehcile to fire a orbital strike becaon instead of a laser blast.

I know troops can fire orbital becons and I was just wondering if vehciles could use them?

To anwer why won't the AI fire you need to set the target values to 1 in the odf.

Check a bomber's odf. Then change it's bomb ord's explosion to whatever the strike's explosion and give the vehicle that weapon.
