I have been working on finding a solution for this for a while and have yet to get anything to work..

I am trying to, after an objective has been achieved, have several carpet bomb strikes from B52's hit targets on the map.

Scripting an off-map B52 to attack a waypoint or trigger area hasn't worked; the plane never even entered the map. Spawning a team with B52 hasn't either. With what I know and extensive searching, I feel like I have hit an impass.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and as a new member i'm looking forward to contributing on the boards.
Thanks

place USA command center off-map, give it name USAcommandcenter,

go to script menu, action -> Unit -> CommandButton -> Fire at location

make the command center use command button.
Unit 'USAcommandcenter' use Ability 'Command_DaisyCutter' at Waypoint 'BOMBHERE'.

works with any ability from any command center.

what he said

DaisyCutter is Fuel air bomb ability. he wants the B52 carpet bomber. instead a command center, make an Airforce faction strategy center off-map with a name like 'USASC' and make a script similar to the one suggested by i^love^mixery



never tried but give this a shot. now an airforce B52 will carpet the area instead a FAB plane with a high explosive fuel bomb.
also check the script conditions to make sure it will run in the game

Thanks guys for the quick responses.

I ran the daisy cutter fix and it did work smoothly, ty! But I tried, after reading your post alexandre, a little further to see if i could get specifically the carpet bombing to work. As it ends up, I ended with this:

3 B52's off map,instead of trying to spawn them.
Scripted to use "command_button" carpet bombing from B52s at the 3 seperate waypoints.

Works perfectly. Seems so simple now ha, I had just never used those scripts.

Again thanks for the help!

Also, I'm looking forward to posting this map once its finished in a day or so..

That's great! Post it soon so that I can get some ideas from your map.
