i. Place the CoC_Obelisk on the map. (side Logic/CoC Unified Artillery/CoC_Obelisk. For UA 1.0, use a side WEST obelisk; for 1.1, use a side LOGIC one).

ii. Place the CoC Tomahawk Launcher at the launch location on the map.

iii. Enable a system of control (make player a Forward Observer, place a CoC_Radio object, or an "enable radio weapons" patch.

For more details, see the CoC_Arty quick help file.

I.B. Tomahawks without UA

The Tomahawks can also fly without UA. Treat them like a regular aircraft: place them on the map, set a flyinheight, set behavior to careless, and set waypoints. To detonate the Tomahawk, use:

unit Fire "CoC_CMPayload"

to active the BLU-97 submunition dispenser, use:

unit Fire "CoC_CMBluload"

II. Classes used

IV. Scripts

IV.A. UA Scripts and functions

IV.A.i. UA scripts

CMstart.sqs

Called by CoC_CruiseLauncher init EH, initializes and registers Cruise Launcher as a CoCasset. It then starts CoC_Arty's IFcommand.sqs, and CMOrders.sqs.

CMOrders.sqs

Called by CMStart after UA initialization. The variables passed are all pretty obsolete, but I digress. Anyway, CMOrders is resident and runs the CruiseLauncher. It processes the orders passed to it by UA, returns cruise missile status, and kicks up fire missions (run through ARPM).

IV.A.ii. UA functions

avails.sqf: used by UA 1.1. Is an array that corresponds to list of UA units in types.sqf. Within each type-entry, each entry corresponds to options on the FED dialog. Subarray format is [default setting, ["OPTION NAME", "OPTION NAME"]].

Order is:

Rounds in Effect ([Default, [minimum RIE, maximum RIE]])

Fire Modes (Fire When Ready, AMC, ToT, etc.)

Distributions (Sheaves and so on)

Angle (LA, HA, MRSI, etc.)

Not used: warheads (see magazines.sqf)

displays.sqf: as per UA 1.0

firemenus.sqf: as per UA 1.0

funcs.sqf: as per UA 1.0

magazines.sqf: used by UA 1.1. Is an array corresponding to types.sqf, used to describe warheads to UA systems. Format is:

["Class Type of Magazine", "Display Name For Warhead", Fuzes Available (2^0 = Quick, 2^1 = Time, 2^2 = VT, 2^3 = Smoke fuzing, 2^4 = not used (yet) ), airburst height in M for time and VT fuzing, boolean (probably not used)]

markers.sqf: as per UA 1.0

menus.sqf: as per UA 1.0

names.sqf: UA 1.1. Corresponds to types.sqf – these are the text names to use on FED displays for the corresponding assets.

types.sqf: as per UA 1.0

IV.B. Cruise Missile Stuff

IV.B.i. Master control scripts

ARPM.sqs (Angular Recursive Path-finding Module)

called by CMOrders.sqs.

format:

[launcher, target position, warheadtype, "firemode", "FireOrder", "Posture", number of missiles to fire (,priority)] exec "\CoC_CM\scripts\ARPM.sqs"

launcher: unit name of CoC_CruiseLauncher

target position: [x,y,z] location

warheadtype: one of "CoC_BLU97", "CoC_WDU25" or "CoC_CMNUKE"

"FireMode": of format "CoCIFA%fm" where % corresponds to Launcher UA asset number

"FireOrder": of format "CoC_IFA%fi"

"Posture": of format "CoC_IFA%p"

number of missiles to fire: a number.

priority (optional): a number corresponding to priority. Values are; 0 (RUN – not used by UA), 1 (HIGH), 2 (NORMAL), 3 (OPPORTUNITY).

ARPM uses several complex pathing routines to determine a path to target, when it calculates a suitable path, it registers the UA asset as "Ready to Fire", then orders the CruiseLauncher to fire.

CMfire.sqs

called by CruiseLauncher fired EH. It sets CoC_CMLaunching to the launcher, then waits for CoC_CMCurrent to change. When CoC_CMCurrent points to a valid missile, it starts the launch drop effects on the missile.

cruise01launch.sqs

called by ARPM. Handles the launch effects.

Takes:

["RouteVarName", group, "warheadtype", Missile Position, "Posture"]

"RouteVarName": name of a global variable that contains an array, of format [[[x,y,ASL], flyinheight] ...]. Alternatively, it can be passed an array of [x,y,z] coordinates, for cutscenes.

group: an open group on the side of the launcher.

"warheadtype": as in ARPM

Missile Position: the x,y,z position of the launcher.

"Posture": CoCIFA%p as with ARPM

Launch controls the missile during the rocket booster stage of flight. When the turbofan engines have spooled up and the missile is underway, it hands over to cruise02guidance.sqs

cruise02guidance.sqs

called by cruise01launch.sqs. Runs guidance to final waypoint

Takes:

[missile, "RouteVarName", "warheadtype"]

missile: unit name of missile.

"RouteVarName": as in cruise01launch.sqs

"warheadtype": as in ARPM

Guides missile through intermediate waypoints.

cruise03TerminalPhase.sqs

Called by cruise02launch.sqs. Flies cruise missile into an optimal weapon release/detonation posture.

takes:

[missile, waypoint, "warheadtype"]

missile: unit name of missile.

waypoint: [x,y,z] of target.

"warheadtype": as in ARPM

calls warhead scripts.

IV.B.ii. Warhead Scripts:

CoC_WDU25Warhead.sqs, CoC_BLU97Warhead.sqs, CoC_NUKEWarhead.sqs

Take: [missile, targetobject]

missile: unit name of missile

targetobject: game logic at target point.

Arm warhead and release it (fire) at appropriate moment.

CMFuze.sqf

called by Tomahawk Fired EH. Sets off the appropriate effects for the munition type. Basically routes to effect scripts below.

WDU25.sqs, BLU97.sqs, LNUKE.sqs

take:

[missile, driver, shell]

missile: unit name of missile

driver: unit name of missile AI pilot

shell: unit name of shell fired

They set off the explosion (or sub munitions), call up the effects, and delete the cruise missile, and the pilot (at the same time, they conveniently dump the pilot off in the ocean to destroy any evidence).

[target, offset, ispolar, fov]

target: unit name of target.

offset: either [x,y,z] cartesian, or [front, right, z] 2-D polar.

ispolar: false = offset is cartesian; true = offset is 2-D polar.

FOV: camera field of view (as in CamSetFov)

Not used

CMFuze.sqs
