MrxSatelliteGuidedBomb

Module: mrxsatelliteguidedbomb.lua

Overview

MrxSatelliteGuidedBomb is the paid satellite-designated precision bomb. The player targets through the satellite mini-game, a jet flies in and drops one "Smart Bomb Projectile" on the mark. The free/easier variant is MrxSurgicalStrike (same code, SetCost(0), wider sectors). Inherits from MrxSupport; designates with MrxSupportDesignatorSatellite.

Inheritance

• Inherits from: MrxSupport
• Imports: MrxSupportDesignatorSatellite

Instance pattern

Same class-factory pattern as MrxSupport, not per-uGuid — Create(self, uPlayerGuid) builds a new table via setmetatable/__index, exactly like its parent. No OnActivate/Awake, no tInstance registry. It tracks the following key fields:

• nCost: The cost of using the guided bomb.
• sBomb: The name of the bomb projectile.
• uBomb: The GUID of the bomb projectile.
• sDeliveryVehicle: The name of the delivery vehicle.
• uDeliveryVehicle: The GUID of the delivery vehicle.
• uOwner: The GUID of the player who owns this support instance.
• uJet: The GUID of the aircraft used for the airstrike.
• tBombs: A table to store bomb instances.
• uTarget: The GUID of the target.

Functions

Create(self, uPlayerGuid)

Builds the instance. Creates a MrxSupportDesignatorSatellite, sets its cost to self.nCost or 1000 (default 1000), and mini-game sectors {{135,225},{-45,45}} (two broad bands). Copies sDeliveryVehicle/sBomb from the prototype; module-level sBomb = "Smart Bomb Projectile", module name "MrxSatelliteGuidedBomb".

SetCost(self, nCost)

Updates both the designator’s cost and self.nCost. This is the money knob — call before Create (or override the default) to change what the strike costs.

DesignationCallback(self)

Runs on satellite-designation complete. Flies the delivery jet in with Airstrike.Flyby (self.uDeliveryVehicle, callback DropBomb, jet in self.uJet), then plays a random Misha freeplay-support line via MrxSupport.PlayAirstrikeVO.

DropBomb(self)

Reads the target, computes a normalized heading, and drops one bomb with Airstrike.SpawnOrdnance using self.uBomb at velocity scale 110, "impact" detonation, callback BombExplodes with index 1 (stored in self.tBombs[1]). Then red-blips the bomb on the radar via BlipAircraft (inherited from MrxSupport). (self.uTarget = uGuid reads an unassigned uGuid, so it becomes nil — a decompile artifact.)

BombExplodes(self, nIndex)

Impact callback. Reads the bomb’s position but does nothing with it — no explosion is spawned here (the detonation visual/damage is on the ordnance template). Effectively a no-op in this module; contrast MrxSurgicalStrike, whose BombExplodes adds an "Explosion (Grenade)".

FinalExplosion(self)

Reads self.uBomb’s position and does nothing else. Dead/no-op as written; nothing calls it.

Events

No event subscriptions. DesignationCallback is the satellite designator’s completion callback (via MrxSupport:Commence); DropBomb/BombExplodes are flyby-arrival and ordnance-impact callbacks. No Event.Create/TimerRelative.

Module constants & tunables

• sBomb = "Smart Bomb Projectile" — module-level global (settable per-instance).
• Default cost: 1000 (self.nCost or 1000 in Create; also settable via SetCost).
• Mini-game sectors: {{135,225},{-45,45}}.
• Bomb velocity scale: 110.

Notes for modders

• SetCost (or the self.nCost or 1000 default) is the price lever; set it to 0 and widen the sectors and you’ve essentially reproduced MrxSurgicalStrike.
• sBomb is a non-local global, so reassign oInstance.sBomb to change the payload before firing (see Airstrike).
• Since this module’s BombExplodes spawns no explosion, if you want an on-impact effect, add a Pg.Spawn there (as the surgical-strike sibling does).
