Default Call in the Airstrike! - 05-10-2003, 10:52 PM

I consider myself a good modder but this one is alittle out of my league. I was watching "Vietnam" movies and the idea struck me as I saw them "pop smoke" to signal for an airstrike.

Anyways, I know there is a "bombing run" file somewhere within the game. Would it be possible to make it execute in the middle of the smoke routine?

you could make a server side mod to do this. look at the one mod where the tanks ride around and blow shit up. it could be done.

Would perhaps having a smoke nade that not only puffs out its fair share of smoke, but after a certain amount of time blows up in an explosion fitting for an airstrike?

Perhaps make it so the smoke nade ticks like when cooking a grenade, but replace the tick sound with the whistle of incomming artillery.

Just ideas, not sure if any of that would actually work.

I've seen a map that has a plane that flies around every so often and drops a bomb, so why can't you use that but add more planes and more bombs? Only if you can find a way to trigger it by using a smoke grenade like in rtcw. It's a good idea and I'm sure it could be done, but it sounds like a hard task. But, I would definately use a mod like that if someone could make it.

Speaking of which, has that mod pack ever been released? (The one with the plane bombing southern france and the moving tank on snowy park)

He's a thinker, this one cool:
I reckon they are excellent ideas, Sammy, and whatsmore, we have the talent in the community (MPowell1944, for one) that can pull this off

the event is also in the berlin map, but i dont think the bomb explodes, does anyone else know what im talking about? its an IL Sturmovik, that drops it near the where the axis spawn

try sam-man's idea, you have a smoke grenade, that would somehow spawn a lot of explosions, like from dynamite, and have a plane flyby noise or something
