MrxBombingRun
Module: mrxbombingrun.lua
Overview
The MrxBombingRun module is a support system for executing bombing runs in the game. It extends the base MrxSupport class to provide functionality specific to dropping bombs from an aircraft.
Inheritance
- Inherits from:
MrxSupport - Imports:
MrxSupportDesignatorSmoke
Instance pattern
This is a per-instance object module (keyed by uGuid). It tracks the following key fields:
sDeliveryVehicle: Name of the delivery vehicle used for the bombing run.uDeliveryVehicle: GUID of the delivery vehicle.uOwner: GUID of the player who initiated the bombing run.uJet: GUID of the aircraft performing the bombing run.uSpawnedBomb: GUID of the bomb dropped during the bombing run.
Functions
Create(self, uPlayerGuid)
Creates a new per-instance table for the bombing run using the module’s prototype. Initializes the support system with a designator and sets the owner and recruit.
DesignationCallback(self)
Called when the bombing run is designated. Spawns an aircraft at a calculated position relative to the camera, sets its target, and initiates the bombing run by calling DropBomb. Also plays voice-over announcements for the airstrike.
DropBomb(self)
Drops bombs from the aircraft towards the designated target. Calculates the spawn and target positions, normalizes the vector, and spawns two bombs with slight variations in position and velocity.
BombExplodes(self, uBomb)
Called when a bomb explodes. Currently does nothing but can be extended to handle post-explosion logic.
Events
- Listens for custom event (not explicitly defined in this file) to trigger the designation callback.
- Listens for bomb explosion events to call
BombExplodes.
Notes for modders
- Ensure that the bombing run is properly designated and activated by calling the appropriate functions.
- Customize the delivery vehicle, target positions, and bomb properties as needed.
- Extend the
BombExplodesfunction to handle any post-explosion effects or logic.
