Arma 3 Mission Editing: Make Ai Shoot Object 

You're a total lifesaver, managed to build an ambient AA script from this and your other video when nothing else would work. Fantastic job!

just got a sub from me, needed this exact thing for some Arma scene building with tanks, and didnt feel like adding the tanks firing in photopshop. You got straight to the point and put the script in the description. Youre awesome, thank you!

Very good...I used the same script using a line of tanks at a firing range. I clicked on the gunner in the tank and added the script to him for it to work. For the targets I used tanks, trucks anything that exploded for targets. I was surprised to see the tank still firing at the same target after it was burning. Looks great at nighttime firing....Thanks for this video and script.

first of all, great video... now i want to ask, is there a way to make them (AI) shoot at bursts? when using "sleep 4" they fire like 2 bullets and stop, can it be like fire 3 seconds, wait 1 second and fire 3 seconds and so on?

Hi Raven, hope you are doing great! Happy New Year, hope to see you again on youtube

Thank You bro, it is amazing, i had so much fun with it! Cheers and all of you who watch his videos subscribe to his channel now. Peace.

This worked for me for what I wanted to do. Thank you so much.

Thank you! Do you think this might also work for a laserdesignator (instead of say, a rifle?) making an ai laser target an object? Cheers!

Hello White Raven. I always find myself coming back to your videos. I do hope you can post soon. I have a request. Can you do a video, similar to this one where you force the AI to fire except this time, they're sitting in a turret or a vehicle of some sort. This script doesn't really work for pilots/ gunners/ etc. Helicopters fire flares and turrets don't fire much of anything. Cheers.

Hi Raven! Thanks for this, I wanted to ask you if you know a way about how to make AI Shoot while on animation.

Just what I needed! Thank you very much sir!

Awesome video tutorial, I’m trying to get my M60 machine gunner to shoot automatic on range is there a way ? Thanks a million

thanks for sharing With us

Awesome video man 👍

Do you think it'd be possible to make it work with a trigger? I'm trying to make an MG shot at a target as soon as you activate a trigger by stepping too close but I'm in a bit of a stall

Another good vid man. I had a question. What mods are you running if any? I find it hard to find some of the suggested mods in the workshop as there are about twenty iterations of mods like zeus. Any suggestions on that? Thanks again for the good content.

my question is can you do it with rockets ? also using triggers instead of "this" tried my self and dont work

Man... you are my hero, how can I connect with you. Do you have skype or discord.I had to go through the half the internet to find the solution for ARMA III. Thank you! It's really helpful.

Thanks mate, works fantastic

so this only works if your using pop up and static targets? i'm trying to have AA fire at aircraft and into the sky

So how do u make them shoot at multiple targets

I'm unclear on why it requires the gamelogic at all. The wiki for the 'action' command seems to indicate I could just use the unit itself. Is there some Arma blackbox thing about not using the unit itself for its own 'useweapon' action? EDIT: Never mind! I found this comment in the UseWeapon action description: "NOTE: If 'unitOne' is player object, the player goes into pick up animation before action is performed. If 'unitOne' is a game logic, the action is performed immediately with no animation."

Does this only work with vanilla units? Im not able to get it to work at all. They just stand there and aim but never fire. It works just fine with Vanilla units but any DLC units ect it wont work with. Is there anything that need be typed into the game logic?

thank yoouuuuu Keep going with make vids :D

Not sure if you are still responding, but when using this the AI run out of ammo. What am I missing?

Is there a place where we can read up on the use of ALL the scripts? Great video.

Great video once more Raven, i am speciel into the sniper shooting with the AI, i do have one question about the way they fire, can you make them use the Bi-pod on the weapon by script or is that just not possible to do ? And how do i make it so the AI does not run out of ammo. Never mind on the Ammo question found this " this addeventhandler ["fired", {(_this select 0) setvehicleammo 1}];" and put it inside your script.. Like this :: null = this spawn {_this dotarget t6; sleep 0.5; while {alive t6 and alive _this} do {sleep 4; gl action ["useweapon",vehicle _this,_this,0]; _this addeventhandler ["fired", {(_this select 0) setvehicleammo 1}]; }}; but they don't do is a Magazine change anymore. do you know if that can be fixed so they change magazine.

Thank you for sharing this interesting script. But when I tried it to RPG soldier, he tried to shoot but he carried it over his shoulder. And he repeated this action 3, or 4 times. Do you know how to make unit shoot RPG to the target?

Hey raven, I have a bit problem here. So, with this scripts i wanted to make a civilian shooting the target like the video did, then i place some civilian too around the area. But, those some civilian were afraid when the other civilian started shooting. They began to crouch and looks scared. I put "playMove" animation code to unit init to look more realistic. I also set their behavior to careless, but it didn't work. Can you make those some civilian not afraid of the shooting? Make them not crouch. Sorry for my English btw 😁. Thanks

How would you use a trigger to make the AI shoot 3 times, once every 5 seconds and then stop? Im trying to do a 21 gun volley

Raven , bro how do you get AI NOT to shoot in a prisoner style situation ??? i want to set up a prison break but cant keep the guard from shooting the prisoners. please help.

Hi, after uploading a shooting range to the server with this script, the AI could not reload the weapon, yet they were full of magazines, they kept pressing the trigger and that's it, they never reloaded ... it's a common problem or I could having babbled something?

thanks bro :)

Awesome video, how do I make the AI stop moving from the spot?

hey do u know how to get missions to spawn randomly kinda like invade and annex for local game bc it dont work on local

is there any other way to make ai change their rate of fire i mean can they do burst fire or shoot 2 bullets before resting again

Hi, thanks for this but, u have a command to unit cease fire ?

I got it but. They dont want to shoot full auto

Edit: How do I stop the AI from shooting at the target after spotting an enemy? As for now, they will engage an enemy if they spot him, but after the enemy encounter is dealt with, they continue shooting at the target

how can u change it to make them burst and can u tell me how to make them burst a certain amount of bullets

He so I'm making a DDay mission and I have this script working with an AA and it works targeting the plane of my choice, but when I switch it to night the don't shoot how can I change this ?

I still don’t know what tf to do, I’m making a d day landing map and idk what to script for anything, anyone have videos on this?

Any chance you know how to make a unit you've spawned load with the loadout you've selected in BI Virtual Arsenal? Because everytime I click "play as this person", it reverts back to the loadout that the model loaded with

can you do the same thing with fighter jets?

anyone know how to make them reload after they empty a magazine, and then carry on shooting? Many thanks in advance

thanks very much but i wish you had explained the code

why did u not give us info on the module

How to make the shooter will point at target?
