MrxArtillery

Module: mrxartillery.lua

Overview

The MrxArtillery module is responsible for managing the deployment and behavior of artillery support in the game. It inherits from MrxSupport and uses MrxSupportDesignatorBeacon for target designation and MrxVoSequence for voice-over sequences.

Inheritance

• Inherits from: MrxSupport
• Imports: MrxSupportDesignatorBeacon, MrxVoSequence

Instance pattern

This is a per-instance object module (keyed by uGuid). It tracks the following key fields:

• oDesignator: The designator beacon used for target designation.
• uOwner: The GUID of the player who owns this support.
• sRecruit: The recruit name associated with this support.
• sDeliveryVehicle: The delivery vehicle used for artillery deployment.
• uDeliveryVehicle: The GUID of the delivery vehicle.
• sAmmo: The type of ammunition used (e.g., “Artillery Shell”).
• nWidth: The width parameter affecting the spread of missiles.
• tVO: Table of voice-over sequences.

Functions

Create(self, uPlayerGuid)

Creates a new instance of MrxArtillery and initializes it with the given player GUID. Sets up the designator beacon, owner, recruit, delivery vehicle, and module name.

DesignationCallback(self)

Handles the target designation callback. Retrieves the target coordinates from the designator, sets the ammunition type and width, and schedules multiple missiles to fall towards the target using timers. Also starts a voice-over sequence based on the player’s faction.

TriggerFallingMissile(self)

Triggers the falling of a missile towards the designated target. Adjusts the target coordinates with random offsets for spread and spawns the ordnance using the Airstrike.SpawnOrdnance function.

Events

• Listens for custom event (not specified in the provided code) to trigger DesignationCallback.
• Uses Event.TimerRelative to schedule missile launches and beacon removal.

Notes for modders

• Ensure that Create is called with a valid player GUID to properly initialize the artillery support.
• Customize the ammunition type, width, and voice-over sequences by modifying the respective fields.
• Be aware of the random spread applied to missile targets to ensure balanced gameplay.
