Hi!

I've made myself a fighter/bomber Raptor, which fires missiles at aircraft and vehicles, while dropping bombs on buildings. It works quite well. But having dropped its bombs on a building (not destroying it), my Raptor will sometimes fire a missile or two at the building while heading back to base.

Is it possible to restrict the targets of the Raptor even more than simply using PreferredAgainst? Can I make it utterly impossible for it to target buildings with its missiles?

No, you can't restrict certain weapon only fire at limited target, the only module with this function is laser defense system. about weapons, if antiground = yes, then it will fire to ground units or buildings when perfect against weapon out of ammo.

@ cavetroll try this

WeaponSet
Conditions = None
Weapon = PRIMARY Raptormissileweapon
PreferredAgainst = PRIMARY INFANTRY VEHICLE AIRCRAFT
AutoChooseSources = PRIMARY FROM_PLAYER FROM_AI FROM_SCRIPT
Weapon = SECONDARY RaptorBombweapon
PreferredAgainst = SECONDARY STRUCTURE
AutoChooseSources = SECONDARY FROM_PLAYER FROM_AI FROM_SCRIPT
End

Maybe you have to handle with tha AutoChooseSources = NONE i don´t know exactly how it works but try it (SEARCH)

i am also having a aircraft targeting problem, take a look:

Weapon GripenRocketAttackWeapon
PrimaryDamage = 155.0
PrimaryDamageRadius = 10.0
ScatterRadiusVsInfantry = 5.0 ;When this weapon is used against infantry, it can randomly miss by as much as this distance.

ProjectileObject = ScorpionMissile
ProjectileExhaust = TowMissileExhaust
FireFX = FX_ScudLauncherIgnition
FireSound = GenericMachineGunFire
RadiusDamageAffects = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS

ClipReloadTime = 8000 ; how long to reload a Clip, msec

AntiBallisticMissile = No
ProjectileDetonationFX = WeaponFX_B52Bombs

End

Weapon GripenAMRAAM

End

What i want is for the AMRAAM to attack air only targets, and it does that, but for some reason, my Gripen wont land unless it uses all its weapons, which forced me to have them launch amraams at ground targets also. Is there a way to have them launch at air only targets with the amraam and return to base when their ground ammo is done instead of circling around the area and doing nothing?

[Kulturbanause]

I think the aircrafts returns to base when the primary weapon is out of ammo!
maybe you have to change your primary and secondary weapon. Otherwise i don´t know? Maybe zero hour has problems with the clipsize of the second weapon(bigger than primary)

[SmokeyDaBear]

ah....that might be what the problem is...they both are set on return to base. So for one of them i should just put No or Yes or what?

[SmokeyDaBear]

ps



this is for Generals!

[Kulturbanause]

No if set Yes to Autoreloadsclip you´ll have a flying "Comanche" i would try to take the weapon which has the largest ammo as PRIMARY

[SmokeyDaBear]

so i would have the rockets as RETURN TO BASE and the amraam as no?

[Kulturbanause]

i would set the amraam as PRIMARY Weapon. Changing the RETURN TO BASE statusmight help but rearming in the air for an airplane???
