Usage

This function is designed for usage with the standard vanilla Mortar or the CUP D30 Artillery.

It takes the area of preplaced marker(s) and will randomly select a position within the area, each shot will choose a different location to target.

For amount of rounds fired if you enter 0 it will randomly select an amount from 1-8.

It can also fire HE, Smoke and Illumination rounds. By default it will fire HE.

Call only on the server

Example:

[My_Mortar, ["MyMarker"]] call TAC_Mission_fnc_mortarStrike;

Example without defaults and multiple positions

[My_Mortar, ["MyMarker", "MyMarker2"], 5, 0] call TAC_Mission_fnc_mortarStrike;
