MrxSatClusterBomb

Module: mrxsatclusterbomb.lua

Overview

The MrxSatClusterBomb module represents the support system for deploying cluster bombs via a satellite. It handles the creation, designation, and detonation of these bombs, providing a mini-game interface for players to target their deployment.

Inheritance

• Inherits from: MrxSupport
• Imports: MrxSupportDesignatorSatellite

Instance pattern

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

• oDesignator: The designator satellite used for targeting.
• uOwner: The GUID of the player who owns this support system.
• sDeliveryVehicle: The name of the delivery vehicle.
• uDeliveryVehicle: The GUID of the delivery vehicle.
• uJet: The GUID of the jet used for delivering the bombs.
• uSpawnedBomb: The GUID of the spawned bomb projectile.

Functions

Create(oSelf, uPlayerGuid)

Creates a new instance of the MrxSatClusterBomb support system. Initializes the designator satellite with validation function and sets up the necessary properties such as owner, recruit, module name, delivery vehicle, and cost.

DesignationCallback(oSelf)

Called when the player completes the designation mini-game. Spawns a jet to deliver the bombs from the designated spawn point to the target point.

DropBomb(oSelf, nTargetX, nTargetY, nTargetZ)

Drops the cluster bomb at the specified target coordinates. Calculates the direction and speed for the bomb projectile and spawns it accordingly.

BombExplodes(oSelf)

Handles the explosion of the dropped bomb. Spawns multiple bomblets in a cone pattern around the bomb’s position to simulate the cluster effect.

Events

• Listens for custom events related to designation and delivery (not explicitly detailed in the provided code).

Notes for modders

• Ensure that Create is called with the correct player GUID to properly initialize the support system.
• Customize the designator sectors by modifying the SetMinigameSectors function call.
• Adjust the bomb’s speed and spawn distance by changing the parameters in the DropBomb function.
• Be aware of network synchronization settings if extending this module for multiplayer use.
