ArmA 2 - Artillery & UAV Tutorial

[LesPaulBJJ]

Hi, can you get them to fire at a predetermined target automatically, without a call-in? All I want is a arty row to be seen firing at some distant target in my mission.

[ITotaldutchI]

I got the ARTY Module working, up to a certain degree. Once I call for support, they Hold Fire. Why?

[ITotaldutchI]

@ITotaldutchI Never mind this. Got it already.

[fungusuarus]

How do you lock on with missiles in the UAV? Right-Clicking exits out.

[LesPaulBJJ]

@fungusuarus press tab :)

[Btotheernd]

why is this so complicated omfg.

[Stretedge]

thanks so much for this, i finally figured out the artillery!

[snuffie2Z]

emmmm how i do copy the "needed" [["artillery_barrage"], player, [[RIPPER, [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]]]] call BIS_SOM_addSupportRequestFunc; to the act. line? cuz im an beginner of the arma 2 game and i want to use teh epic artillery barrage!

[vz58vsop]

@snuffie2Z

you use ctr+c and to paste you press ctr+v

[1spiket]

how do you get the little map up to show you were your going to hit

[Tiberainxx]

thank you for this upload, it helped me one hell of alot

[wombat581]

Please rise for the Youtube national anthem.

[jacobgovan]

you tube is a dangerous place. i got from this video all the way to people eating babies. I have no idea how.

[9911MU51C]

@jacobgovan got into the weird part of youtube huh?

[jacobgovan]

@9911MU51C yep :P

[bleesev2]

The artillery asks for the co-ordinates, Any co-ordinate i pick on the map says that the co-ordinates are impossible (any co-ordinate). I am playing Operation Arrowhead.

Occasionally the artillery says that the shot is out, but then nothing happens D:

[bleesev2]

@bleesev2 Also, even when i find a location by not using the map, it says "shot out" and nothing happens.

NOTE: I am at a point where i can see the artillery with a sniper, and the artillery don't move, aim or even fire. So its not like there is just a long delay or something, they actually don't fire

[Btotheernd]

@bleesev2 Same here!

[xSniperStreakHDx]

DOESNT WORK THEY ASK FOR THE COORDS WELL I CHOOSE THE COORDS THEY SAY SHOT AND NOTHING HAPPENS

[Paintchk218]

@xSniperStreakHDx It usually takes about a minute or so form the rounds to land.

[xSniperStreakHDx]

@Paintchk218 i waited about 5 mins but didnt work...

[Paintchk218]

@xSniperStreakHDx hmm....Perhaps you where too far away or something. Not really sure though.

[RocknRolSoldier]

All rise for the youtube national anthem

[Angelisv]

How do you get target lock?



[0BornofDesire0]

Me watching this: Holy crap thats so cool!

Me trying this: I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.

[MisterMarcoX]

I put three D30s in Pik Kozlova and requested Arty on Prigorodki, that 's just downhill. But I get tired waiting:D

[0XbreakerX0]

it doesnt work :( i have the option to radio in the artillery strike they ask for the coordinates, i give them the coordinates they say "shot, over" and i say shot, out, then... nothing happens. does anyone know whats going on?

[0XbreakerX0]

@0XbreakerX0 nevermind it i was just so far away it took 3 minutes for the rounds to get there nm :P

[mrbrunopolska]

cant enjoy a video with out listening to this song lol...*pulls out .357 magnum and puts it to the head*

[SgtChaos]

Weird, i tried it, yet it didnt work, followed the steps in the video yet when i goto call for the artillery i dont get the voice coms as you did in the video

[Ahrne920325]

You forgott the first step: Mute the video

[MrPyrotech96]

Thx alot dude!!;) subscribed:D

[aquinn5234]

what mod are you using? my 'target artillery' screen is different and not functional (or i cant seem to get it to work)

[FullLifeRebel]

I don't think this Tutorial works for OA. I tried several times but never got the artillary support. If I am wrong maybe some one can show me

[bangbang387]

hey man, when i request the artillery barrage, it says "cannot fire ALPHA thats outside our firing envelope" any suggestion?

[ToAstYNaChO]

@bangbang387 i treid that, it didnt work, you need to change the type of arty, try m119

[ThePanathas1908]

@bangbang387 i had the same problem in the map there is a red circle you must select an area out of it

[ThePanathas1908]

@ThePanathas1908 also if you are using mlrs (mobile missile launcher) the circle is huge so put it as far as possible in the map

[iceman11a]

I'm sorry, I still can't see what your doing. any chance you can add voice to it so you can tell us what your doing in detail.

[ToAstYNaChO]

@iceman11a thats why you view it in 1080p and in full screen

[OrangeCrushUK]

Grx look poo

[frkenloodles]

@commisarmike Arma 3 is said to release summer of 2012 i also read that you may need to upgrade your computer :) i got the info off of steam so its acurate

[MrKevin1989]

hey i followd all the step but they dont fire what s up with that?

can somewone help me what am i doing wrong?

[MrKevin1989]

hey i followd all the step but they dont fire what s up with that?

can you help me what am i doing wrong?

[damien036]

Heey ik heb een vraag. Weet jij waarom bij de m119 al mn mannen steeds dood gaan? Uit het niks? Lol. Ik heb alles geprobeerd maar niks helpt. Mischien weet jij een oplossing. En, ik kan niet meer dan 3 units maken op een of andere manier. Al zet ik er 40 neer in de Editor, ik zie er maar 3:S. Bedankt alvast!

[snipperbes]

MY EARS! THE HEADPHONES DO NOTHING!

[MCCiabattaGrande]

thx 4 the tut... heheee vietnam song :D

[michaeld20]

ahhhhhhh sooooooooo long but worth it...

[n3ochars]

I have the same problem of them just sitting there when iv recived the message from command saying thier firing for effect, iv checked double checked and triple checked everything whats wrong?

[MAlford65]

My ears are bleeding.

[skitsnack1]

i did everything you did with the artillery thing and when i command to fire, they reply that they are shooting, but they just stand there :(

[Herpkid56]

DUDE WTH second video in a row where I was playing Fortunate Son while the vid was O_O

[Krityo18]

very good thx... how can i make greater radius of splashes? because i want to bomb the city and not just a place:S can u help me pls? thx

[Tilyard123456]

nice guide thanks mate.

[ThePawsomeness]

what is the name of the second song?

[maccas1329]

i cant copy and paste the scripts? help please?

[Tilyard123456]

@maccas1329 Erm. If you highlight the scripts and press copy. Then go into the game and press ctrl V. it should paste.

[skullcrusher481]

is this game for ps3

[drnoobtube88]

@skullcrusher481 no pc only

[arkantos1525]

all of the artillery units just drive awya from where i place them?

[tater6100]

im getting tired of that stupid song in the beginning

[TheChunkyKong]

whats the last song? the techno?

[bigbangAT]

@TheChunkyKong

its a techno remix off the maintheme of the movie braveheart

[selvaoscuras]

@TheChunkyKong bleah

[sangyuni96]

Can you please tell me how to make an AI call in fire support? thx :D

[jasonked1]

mute the fucking video if u hate the song that much and put on ur own music... Everything you need is shown on screen, you don't need to hear it... Fucking retards...

[jasonked1]

Thanks a ton man, couldn't even get the UAV to work until I watched ur video.

[xMaidenSlayerx]

do you know how to do unit capture and unit play. if you do, i'll give you five bucks to make a tutorial on it.

[cbcnate]

Screw Youtube and their bribing to put this song on every video!

[bigbangAT]

@cbcnate

yeeeeaaah, well, the truth is that when i made this video i just heard this song for the first time that day :P and i thought it sounded pretty good. so i put it in myself when making the vid.... didnt know back then that this song is like ear rape to all youtubers :D

[cbcnate]

@bigbangAT Haha. I'm tellin ya man. I was drinking a soda when this song started playing in my ears I thought my ears were bleeding for the whole 3 seconds it took me to set my drink down and mute the sound. haha.

[ToAstYNaChO]

@bigbangAT hey i want simple artillary,and i got it working, but sometimes it generates a random mission in which i dont want, like after a artillery bambardment, it says " a plane has crashed near your location" or " could you patrol this area". i dont want it to do that. it even once said " the arty has dropped off the comms, im afraid your on your own" what do i do?

[Finalthings91]

tried it and did it exactly step by step didnt work at all the arty option didnt even show up

[fsxaviator]

how do you get flir camera on the uav?

[SilentSkylar]

Every time i call in the arty strike they tell me they can not fire on those cords.

I've watched this video 4 times now, and i can not understand what the problem is

[DomhnallX50]

@SilentSkylar i think i may have found the solution, place a BLUFOR or whatever ammunition supply truck near the artillery and they may be able to fire i am goin to try in out now

[msterpanda]

@SilentSkylar make sure the cords are between the red and green circles on the map

[Woozie52]

@SilentSkylar It doesn't work on the Island map as it's too small - it works on Charnassus.

[GTOOtt]

How can I have arty without SecOp asking me to do missions?

[WNxLone]

It does not show how to use the missiles on the UAV... The video description is wrong.

[Hlieyto]

Hey there, great guide but I have a question; I want to know how I can make the artillery to be used more than just once, after following this guide and successfully firing I cannot make my artillery fire again after. How can I limit or make it unlimited use? Apologies if this is simple, but I am new to all this and could not find help on the wiki.

[bigbangAT]

@Hlieyto

at the triggers select repeatedly like i did at 1:19

[Hlieyto]

@bigbangAT That is waht I had done, tested it again today but after calling for the artillery, onc eit has finished I no longer have the option to call it again.

[bigbangAT]

@Hlieyto

after your arty is shot and dropped. go to your map and select "+1 Artillery Barrage SecOp" thats in the little radio. that will give you another artillery

[KoalaBearWarrior]

dude the uav actually looks real. I can't tell the difference



[PCGamer1471]

so fed up with this song

[fsxaviator]

is this on editor?

[beltruxo]

hi!! in the editor for arma1 how can i do to use artillery? b'cause i'm serching it for one of my own sp missions but i don't know how to use it....

and in youtube there is no explanation for it.

thx for your help!!!

[Fedcop78]

Is there a college that you have to attend to in order to learn the code so you can play the game in its entirety? damn, how is the average person supposed to know the computer language for this game?

[YOUSHOTME4S2]

@Fedcop78

You're an idiot...

These are the advanced features of the mission editor. Anyone can learn how to use it if you have a brain and a few minutes to devote to actually learning something. If you don't have either, just go ahead and buy Halo Reach.

Or you can just, you know, not make missions.

[Fedcop78]

@YOUSHOTME4S2

Wow dude, straight to the name calling I see. You make that comment and have the nerve to call me an idiot? lol

[YOUSHOTME4S2]

@Fedcop78

Anyone who says that you need to go to a college to learn basic SQF scripting (nothing is actually done here) is very, very simple (there, light enough for you). It takes minutes to learn these topics.

There is scripting in this game which is actually complication, this is not that kind of scripting.

[Fedcop78]

Ok then, point me to a page that has everything I need to know to learn SQF scripting within minutes.

[YOUSHOTME4S2]

@Fedcop78

community.bistudio(*)com/wiki/­Category:Scripting_Commands_Ar­mA2

And

youtube(*)com/user/eclipse245#­p/u

Scroll down to the bottom of his uploads and see his ArmA II tutorials.

Should give you everything you need to construct some basic missions and get started with your SQF scripting. Good luck.

[Finalthings91]

@YOUSHOTME4S2 shut the fuck up sometimes it doesn't work Ive done it exactly the same way on the same map everything he does step by step and nothing fucking happened it would help if he talked or at least put it in the description step by step so quite fighting with the other guy i mean its not hard but this video is kinda weird it helps but not as much as it should it just kinda pushes through without explanation

[YOUSHOTME4S2]

@Finalthings91

If it doesn't work... you've done something wrong. The bohemia UAV is shit anyway. Use Mando's UAV.

[MrSladej]

thumbs down simply because of this fucking song! go fuck yourself.

[xmrbrx]

does anyone know how to setup support vehicles like the ambulance etc, so you can call them in either through the HQ or some other way, thanks

[AzznSim]

@bigbangAT what does it mean when it says that please adjust coordinates, everywhere I click it says that what am I doing wrong?

[TheDAWinz]

yay fortunate son!

[hulk43224]

I tried doing what your doingm, but it doesnt fire, it goes its says it fires, but it never does

[crazytubex]

is there a way you can use artillery personaly or is it AI only ??

[bigbangAT]

@crazytubex

omg, watch the freaking entire vid...

[crazytubex]

@bigbangAT i did ... when u get in the motar how did u bring up that map thing to target it ???

[bigbangAT]

@crazytubex

i scrolled

[HellsGate9999]

@bigbangAT Hey man im woundering if there is anyway to get the annoying secops missions from popping up and being requested. if you know of a way please let us all now (i have seen this question asked a few times before.) Awsome tutorial btw.

[longbow1112]

Thankes Big! It works awesomly :D But theres one thing.

Although I can get arttilary to fire, is there a way to disable the Sec ops? I'm making a campaign and when i play the mission im working on so far i get side missions that are activated from Sec Ops manager, but I dont want that to happen on missions that have the arttilary. If theres a way for the Sec ops to be disabled and arttilary is avalibal when a side (Blufor) crosses a trigger. It would help alot :D

[RKarshenas]

What if you are not the player, and you assign your guy to the OPFOR? Does this work in making the AI use the mortar against you as well?

Can you similarly have the OPFOR have fire missions against you?

[rammstein9202]

EDIT : From OPFOR artillery systems I cant use only BM 21 , when I want support with communication menu they say on the radio '' cannot execute. the battery is foxtrot uniform '' or '' artillery is unavailable at this time '' and my question is '' why '' ? I just make all like in the clip and only the BM cant shoot

[rammstein9202]

with BLUFOR artilerry systems I no have problems but OPFOR systems can't shoot , can you tell me why I cant use the OPFOR systems (sorry for my english if I wrong something). Thanks

[ivan2294]

@rammstein9202 Ironically, none of your english was wrong except for your apology.

[135TheAndrew]

i did exectly how you did it and it say's that i am the firebase and doesent work help!

[jusupreme]

thanks you very much i forgot..^^

[jusupreme]

I Can"t copy and past code

i try (ctrl-c) and (ctrl-p) but it's not work..

[bigbangAT]

@jusupreme

cause ctrl-v is paste and not ctrl-p ; )

[jusupreme]

Awesome !! thanks you very much ^^

[linuxpowerification]

i can only call artillery one time,that sucks -_-

[bigbangAT]

@linuxpowerification

make sure that you change "once" to "repeatedly". then after you have called in arty. go to the map and click "+1 artillery barrage". that will give you the capability to call it in again and again and again untill your arty is out of ammo ; )

[Journeyman107]

I never got this to work

[hybridtechowns]

i followed this pretty closely, i dont know what i messed up, but when i start the mission, and zoom in on the enemy units i have setup, HQ wants be to complete a small mission, i also dont have the fire support option available after the mission, any ideas?

[InzaneNOR]

Is it possible to get artillery support without HQ asking me to do side missions?

btw great video =)

[jantsik112]

@InzaneNOR

put

this setVariable ["settings", [[], true, nil, nil, false]]

in the secop module init field

[UnitedKingdomDude5]

Wonder if thers a nuke?

[Basse9419]

@UnitedKingdomDude5 nope

[DJCometMob]

Nothing in this tutorial works. The Artillery just sits there and does nothing, or I get a message saying "battery cannot target that grid outside firing envelope". followed your instructions to a T and nothing works

[Loidi1980]

Great job!!! THX :D helps a lot

[wonkehcheetah1138]

how do you copy and paste? in the editor I right click and nothing happens.

[Basse9419]

@wonkehcheetah1138 ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste

[pjohnx]

Oh no, not again that music that millions have used before in their videos...sigh

[SteveRichM]

good job

[Quicknslik]

8:05 song name?

[downclan]

how do you change the thermal imaging colour..reallly want to know

[eoghan93]

every time i try to use the art it says their out of range where ever i put them

[scoutbr00]

@eoghan93 Well, open your map, unzoom all and you will see a red ball, you cant fire inside that ball. and on other arty units should show a green ball, meaning you cant fire outside that ball. Hope it helped.

scoutbr00 1 semana atrás

[SoulessNinja]

Im trying to set limited ammunition for player control artillery as i dont want the gun to be constantly used as it will just mop up Tanks and MG nests very easly.

What im trying to do is have 2 M119's Player Controlled with 2 Laser Guided & 5 Ilumination Rounds but i cant for the life of me find a script to take out the Default HE Rounds and Limit the 2 sets of rounds i have listed. Any help would be great thanks.

[USMCplusMETAL]

do u think you can help me, im trying to get it so my guys blow up by mines but the mines dont activate when my guys go over it how can i make it so they blow up

[gamerx112]

This seems like a fun game, but I wish I had the Correct specs. :(

[EliteGhost001]

WTF!? it keeps pointing me out as ''fire base'' and I'm not. sometimes I realy hate ArmA scripting.

Its a realy nice editor.. but this just sucks

[scoutbr00]

@EliteGhost001 When you press space, you will get a ball as hud, inside the ball has the distance of the center of the ball, point to the object you wish to destroy, check the distance, then fire! Hope it helped

[EliteGhost001]

@scoutbr00

used a different way which is just fine. But I'll give this a shot, much appreciated.

[RBM246]

I can't get multiple artillery to fire, only one. When I put them in the same group they glitch on top of each other. Syncing doesn't work.

[Joeyz1994]

yeah, this doesn't work.

i have the same configuration and when i radio they can't fire.

[sjoerdsuper]

i like this song, i will trow my PC out of the window when i hear "Let the body's hit the floor" one more time

[harrybyles1996]

should i get this.. what is it like and what can you do in singel player and online.....

[Joeyz1994]

I can't get them fir, its out of firing envelope, then when i clik on the map they say firing and nothing happens. Im sure i have followed all steps.

[Joeyz1994]

wow great video thanks!

[xXKuszaXx]

7:15 song name?

[bigbangAT]

@xXKuszaXx

its a techno remix of the soundtrack of the movie "braveheart"

[pipotinototo]

@bigbangAT yea, i think theyve called it 009 Soundsystem "dreamscape"

[SWEKrille324]

How do I make myself able to call support through radio? Like Ambulance and such ? ( Space , 5-1)

[commonlemme]

Lol.

Final countdown.

[shadowblade145]

I have the same problem. It just started too. I used to be able to do it, now i cant :/

[shadowblade145]

Dear god. I am NOT watching this because of the song. I hate it that much.

[xregizorx]

very nice vid.

[twiggysmalls9]

All i can get is "battery cannot target that grid outside firing envelope" and ive tried everywherrre!! cant think of what to do?

[risyboy]

yeah me too!

need help!

Thanks ;D

[buxomborin]

@twiggysmalls9 I got the same problem, let me know if you have solved it

[Ithuraen]

@twiggysmalls9 The guns have a minimum range before they can fire, once they ask for coords, zoom right out, the guns cannot fire inside the red circle.

[scoutbr00]

@twiggysmalls9 Well, open your map, unzoom all and you will see a red ball, you cant fire inside that ball. and on other arty units should show a green ball, meaning you cant fire outside that ball. Hope it helped.

[CaptainMorgan32]

@twiggysmalls9 I experienced this problem also. Instead of clicking on the map, go back to the radio menu and press 8 [Communication]. Then press 1 [Request support] and 1 [Artillery Barrage (Active)]

[duncanauk1]

@twiggysmalls9 Use the mortar instead Under Class:Static/m252 81mm Mortar

[alextankian]

this and 'let the bodies hit the floor' are probably the most used songs on youtube!

[bigbangAT]

yeah i know :P

usualy im not that much of an overused song user

i actually just found out about this song a couple a days before i put it in this video.

it starts to anoy me to when i hear it on other vids :P

[GamingMusicVideos1]

@bigbangAT

they say firing but then they dont fire can u help i did everything

[tutanga14]

i agree lolzz

[zlashex]

@alextankian it's because it's on audioswap, i think the first song on it? idk

[bigbangAT]

@zlashex

yep lol, i actually never knew that but i checked. let the bodies hit the floor and 009 dreamscape are the first songs in audioswap

[Reyalp]

@alextankian And dont forget Requiem For A Dream

[oNLYr4Z0r]

@alextankian

dude, I'm just listening to bodies right now.

Freaky

[jebuscrazy]

: / it keeps saying i'm outside of firing range no matter where i click

[Lecturne]

Your either too close or too far away from the artillery.
